Dear Dems: Polling shows only *generalized* approval of Trump on immigration, but broad opposition to the lawless specifics. If you don't engage on Abrego Garcia and other illegal kidnappings, you only *help* Trump subsume all that under "keeping out illegals."

Here's a quote from Mahmoud Khalil:
"I would say that the liberation of Palestine and the Palestinians and the Jewish people are intertwined. They go hand in hand. Anti-Semitism and any form of racism has no place on campus and in this movement.”

I sure am sick of seeing people trying to parse Mahmoud Khalil's views when A. those views are irrelevant to his detention B. I've seen quote marks in zero objections to his supposed beliefs C. Israel just annihilated tens of thousands of Gazans, most of them children

Shocking report suggests helping some folks ends up helping many more folks.
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.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Between competing with folks who create excellent content full time on TikTok/IG Reels and the stratification of Mastadon, X, Bluesky, Threads... it feels a bit much right now.

Calling for Respect, Freedom, and Security for All Is Not Antisemitic
My obligation to critique the Israeli state comes from my own Jewish tradition, a tradition which had to defend itself from genuine antisemitism.

It’s fucking wild how much more attention a person of South Asian descent gets in politics for being part of the tiny anti-Black group that embraces Republican fascism instead of, say, being the actual serving Vice President of the United States.
