I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

"You'd be hard-pressed to find any Valenzuelan in that country that would tell you tattoos mean gang membership. This is a very easy misapplication by the NYPD believing that if something was true in Central America decades ago, it's true in South America now."
NEW:
An investigation into how New York City's law enforcement officials pushed a narrative that a mysterious and deadly Venezuelan gang was running amok, despite little evidence to back it up, and helped the Trump admin invoke the Alien Enemies Act.

Depends who you ask, but the unit cost of the F/A-18 they shot down by accident is something like $66 million—or $3 million more than the entire Gabriella Miller children’s cancer research program Elon Musk tried to kill.
The U.S. military said it mistakenly shot down one of its own fighter aircraft over the Red Sea early Sunday in "an apparent episode of friendly fire." Both pilots are safe.

It says something about the history of photography and the practices engaged in by photography editors that more of us haven't seen the full context of the landscape around Mount Rushmore.
When you view Mount Rushmore against the background of the sacred Black Hills site which it desecrated, you realize how hideous and pathetic it is. Truly a vulgar monstrosity.

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

Reiterating that there are more Gazans here and they are more persistent in posting their links because there has essentially been no flour in all of South Gaza for well over a week. It is also cold. Please treat them how you’d want people to treat you or your family in a famine.

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.
