Two weeks into a new program that gives New Mexico children free childcare, officials are opening up about the surge that happened day one & how it’s been moving forward. In just a short time, the state said thousands of children are now enrolled in free childcare, & daycares are lining up to join.

Genuinely curious as to why Wu and others who argue along these lines are surprised that pro-Israel politics are on the back-foot in the United States.

I have bad news for you about Democrats and policing *reform*
If these people are ever thrown out of power, I hope we all understand there is no reformist pathway for institutions like this as much as Dems might desperately wish and claim there is.

Thinking a lot about white civility & how it is wielded like a sword — you can protest but-not- that way, you can speak but not-that-way, there’s a time & place etc— & meanwhile here’s who the majority of them elected president.
Almost like it was always about control & not decency.

Okay - super random, but we're looking to buy an OMHU couch & can't bring ourselves to spend the money without seeing it first. Does anyone have their sectional in NYC? The brand that used to carry them locally went bankrupt...

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

The Other 98%
When did it become NORMAL for federal agents to point guns in the faces of American citizens? Over 170 U.S. citizens have been held by ICE this year. The Fourth Amendment guarantees protection from unreasonable searches and seizures, but apparently that's irrelevant.

Allegedly Snake oil, even the scam is trying to cover itself
Had to go to my local West Indian store.
I don’t know if this actually contains snake oil.
It says “alleged” at the bottom, so even the bottle doesn’t know.

That we would have enough money to pay for free public education all the way through college by reducing a fraction of military spending. We do not need to have generation after generation of people in debt. That is a choice not a necessity.
That we’d be *safer* if there were no borders, no police, no prisons, and we built institutions instead centered on repair.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."
