Go Governor!
As your governor, I promise you one thing above all else: We will never, ever, under any circumstances, bend a knee to this autocrat. Ever.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
Maybe they won't rule on his shadow docket request re: deploying the guard in Chicago
This is something that academia in the US have consistently ignored when wringing their hands over our homelessness crisis

To the point that our current data is pretty useless

Housing should not be all investment vehicle!
Shelter is something required for basic survival. Just like food, water and oxygen. ALL of those things are naturally available and have been for thousands of years until some elite assholes said they “owned” it all and now we have to work for them to survive. Just so they can be rich and powerful.
"When researchers dig into the reasons, one factor emerges consistently across continents and income levels: housing.

Not as shelter, but as an economic burden so severe that it crowds out the space — financial, temporal, and psychological — needed to raise a family."
Important thread for sure
‼️‼️‼️ Got word of a new way the billionaire in charge of SSA is fucking over the American people!!!! TLDR: This will definitely lead to people applying for benefits losing out on money, and probably some hefty lawsuits for attorneys that know what’s up. The long version is gonna be long so let’s go.
Sigh. This isn't true y'all

My mother had severe medical trauma so she didn't vaccinate us. And I didn't know any better as a teen mother so I didn't vaccinate either. No hate in those instances, just a lack of knowledge and very valid fear

Scorn and ridicule of the average antivaxxer is harmful
Very true. Sadly every time I drive through the state I have a run in with racists and bigots and leave the state with a bad taste overshadowing the beauty
Yes it is
All of this is exhausting
It seems likely that the good Senator from Montana doesn't know what the Federal government t does
Yea, yea, yeah - but he doesn't need an excuse to crush dissent

All of these articles feel like a psyop to keep people from protesting
While federal employees are working without paychecks
The headline about Trump sending $20 billion to Argentina during a government shutdown is bad enough

What the headline should say "Donald is sending $20 billion of OUR tax dollars to Argentina."

While federal employees are working without paychecks.
Very cool, I know what I'm giving a could people for Christmas now

All the well reported evidence that Harrell is not the best person for the job is going to be ignored, isn't it?
uhhhh so bruce did not build 50,000 apartments - and most of those homes were permitted well before he was mayor.

the protestors aren't abusing their right to protest. they are being abused, and that abuse is causing chaos.

if broadview's mayor wants to end the violence and chaos, she should shut down the facility.
Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.
