Reminder that you cannot name yourself an ally, that must be earned via doing the work. Having members of that group call you that after walking the walk & talking the talk.

I heavily side eye anyone naming themselves an ally to another group of people. Also accomplice is a better descriptor, IMHO.

The infuriating thing about politics these days is:

The progressive approach isn’t JUST humane, though that should be enough;

It’s often also ridiculously effective for lower cost!!
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
