An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Truly imagine if Mamdani had used the word “Shylock.”
It would have quite literally destroyed his career and every org and leader calling him out would be making this into a month long news cycle.
Trump? Hardly a peep.
When you accept antisemitism from the president, you aren’t fighting it.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

Any Dem focusing on talking about tax cuts for the rich now instead of "President threatens to arrest Democratic Nominee for Mayor of NYC while celebrating opening of Florida Concentration Camp" is not paying attention and is not fighting for you and your safety.
Q: You message to communist Zohran Mamdani?
TRUMP: Well then, we'll have to arrest him

The first people stripped of their German citizenship and made stateless was a list of 33 people published on August 25, 1933. 39,006 people were stripped of their citizenship during the Nazi regime. The final Ausbürgerungsliste was published on April 7, 1945, a month before the end of the war.
Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

This dumb story perfectly illustrates how to be complicit with authoritarianism.
This NYT headline accepts a ridiculous premise and analyzes its implications rather than analyzing the premise itself.
To accept the premise is to legitimize it.

These people are Nazis. I know that's well-understood by many people at this point, but not enough. They are Nazis and we need to keep saying it.

New from me at MSNBC! Wherein I note that Trump Accounts are not baby bonds. They won't build substantial wealth for the poor.. And in no way are they going to compensate for the damage the working class will suffer from this train wreck of a reconciliation bill.

‘Trump accounts’ are the GOP’s latest misguided attempt at being pro-family
With a single, flat $1,000 deposit, working-class families with no other savings to invest will not be able to build a substantial endowment.

Get offended, yes.
But do more than that — go on offense.
Stop allowing business as usual to proceed in the Senate. Grind the chamber to a halt.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”.
This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

This is the blue governor of WA basically saying DOGE things while refusing to make the easy choice (backed by 65% of the electorate) to tax the rich.
To protect our values and ensure a sustainable future, we must make difficult choices and right-size state government.
Failing to act will only create greater challenges for Washingtonians.
