Oh hai, here’s 2 really good readings talking about race and CBP, but yeah job options in much of the borderlands are prisons, Dollar General, or CBP. (Also is there any way for people to do insurance like the screenwriters guild or what not? Could that help us stay insured if strikes are needed?)

Real talk: if the environment is anything close to what yesterday’s special election implies in November, there need to be people working very hard on a serious agenda for a substantial Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, focused on voting rights, democracy, and court reform.

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

I don’t want to think about Trump’s latest post about Alex Pretti, but we all must, esp. as funding discussions continue.
The president is talking about the “stock” of a man subjected to an extrajudicial killing by federal agents who threw him to the ground and shot him repeatedly in the back.

Economists generally will agree that a well-designed basic income can support workers without major disincentives.
No study on UBI has shown a meaningful drop in employment, beyond students and new parents. We want those people to focus on school and raising the next gen.
