In Portland where I live, homelessness has emerged as a defining crisis of the decade. In this story for @wweek, I take a look at the city’s first large temporary shelter site run under contract by Urban Alchemy. wweek.com/news/2024/03/2…
How much did Trump pay the artist to remove 50lbs and 15 years?

The MAGA meltdown - everything everywhere all at once.
Today, Russia fired artillery at us while I and other life-saving volunteers were driving all-terrain vehicles (SHERP) through the flooded areas of Kherson. The explosions began when we were in the water. They were very loud and the shells fell very close to us, but the…
With the rise in hate we've seen in recent years, we must work even harder to combat it. Attacks on the Jewish community have no place in our society, and I applaud the Biden Administration’s new strategy to fight antisemitism.

Day 8: Folks don't get the scope of book bans in FL, TX schools. We started a free library of banned books by themes. This month's: Race/religion. Banned in FL: Kid's book about a friendship between a white boy and an elderly black man who both share a love for Jackie Robinson.

1. Yesterday, the @CollegeBoard released a watered-down version of its AP Black history course The changes satisfied the criticisms of @RonDeSantisFL @CollegeBoard insisted that it had nothing to do w/right-wing complaints But the timeline it offered is NOT EXCULPATORY 🧵
Wow AOC doesn’t hold back here

Biden’s apparent mishandling of classified documents is a disaster. It may not be as willful and corruptly intended as Trump’s, but it’s nevertheless a serious breach of the responsibilities he undertook in his prior roles.
1. A few days ago, Congress and Biden approved $858 BILLION in military spending with almost no public discussion or debate. That's $858,000,000,000 Follow along for FACTS about HOW this money is spent and WHY 🧵
I am so proud of what the entire Fetterman team accomplished over the past 2 years, but I do want to give a shout out to my team at New Deal Strategies who helped define Oz from the jump with some truly incredible (and hilarious) videos. Here are some of my personal favorites 🧵
I usually agree with the members of the Progressive Caucus who signed the letter to Biden on Ukraine, but this letter is worse than useless. It will have the opposite of its intended effect. Here's why: 1/x
Inflation Rate 🇪🇺: 10.9% 🇩🇪: 10.9% 🇬🇧: 10.1% 🇮🇹: 9.4% 🇪🇸: 9% 🇮🇪: 8.6% 🇺🇸: 8.2% No. Inflation is not going up in the U.S. because the working class got a $1,400 check 19 months ago. Multinational corporations are jacking up prices worldwide.
This viral image is based off a 62 tweet thread I made early this year. I am working on version 2.0 that will drop this week with all the accomplishments to date. I'd love to get to at least 75k followers to release it to when it drops. Please RT and follow to help me get there.
A reminder of what single member, at large districts have meant in Portland over a century. Concentration of power in a small rectangle of the City, and almost no voice for the rest of the population.

"It's really amazing...MAGA-sounding right-wing parties in Europe...have a trace of actual concern for the people who voted them into power. Trump has none of that." On today's pod, Paul Krugman is great on all the ways Trump scams his base. Listen👇 newrepublic.com/article/180091…

Majority in Congress wants this bill passed, majority in the country supports Ukraine. Some 90% of the money stays in the US to produce weapons. Johnson had the chance to fix the border but refused, so his reasons for holding this up now are... opaque
Apparently, in Trump's view, Willis should have concealed the relationship, paid him hush money illegally, and then denied it all. Trump takes the truth she told, that a relationship developed after she hired Wade & makes the rest of his ridiculous claim up out of whole cloth.

Leaving aside the 2024 election (no trivial assumption), one thing the current debate over Trump's eligibility to run for president misses is the degree to which the Constitution is obsessed with political issues particular to the 1780s and 1860s--eras contemporary Americans are…

You’re not the only but what these retired IDF and Shin-Bet veterans say is there must be a long term goal to divide the land otherwise it’s the end of the Jewish state or apartheid Israel. Netanyahu’s divide and rule maintenance of the status quo is in tatters.
@DominicWaghorn I just can't envisage a 2 state solution right now. Even Regev said last night on Piers Morgan that Isrsel would need to control the Jordan valley(i.e. encirclement with no border with Jordan). That would effectively mean blockade. That would never be agreed.
the "antisemitism on campus" moral panic is successfully folding liberals into reactionary politics of the CRT/gender studies bans and the broader project to smash higher education

Watch @NationalNurses and @nynurses President Nancy Hagans's powerful testimony. Hospitals must put the well-being of patients over profits and hire more nurses.
NNU & @nynurses President Nancy Hagans, RN, passionately testified at the first-ever Congressional hearing on federal #SafeStaffing ratios hosted by @SenSanders: "The leading cause of this crisis is that hospital industry refuses to hire enough nurses to staff our units safely!"
