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.

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.

I followed you on Twitter. My partner, Morgan, did residency with you at U of M. Glad you made the transition here. I enjoyed your posts

Women fight back over abortion law

(5,5) We lost that battle, and we need to figure out how to reengage with these Americans across America with actual facts and in a format that they want to listen to.

(4,5) They will go turn on AM radio and receive their information about America there. I finally understand why Rush Limbaugh and others were paid so much money to work on AM radio.

(3,5) I make this point because they were as certain in what they discussed & intelligent in discussing it as I am certain of how wrong they are. As they both drove away in their septic tank work trucks, I realized how the Republicans won this group of hard-working Americans & it was on AM Radio.

(2,5) Unfortunately, the information comes from another universe from the one that I am living in. This really was clear when they were discussing the storm & discussing all of the information about how the Government was directing the storm to this area will come out after Trump is in office.

(1,5) This weekend while out for lunch at a restaurant near Asheville, NC I sat near two Trump supporting gentleman and close enough to overhear their conversation. I used to think of them as low information, but I was wrong. These men were smart and full of information.

Ditched Twitter. Decided after the election that I was done with that hellhole.

Emma holds a microphone as she delivers her victory speech.

Emma speaks to the crowd and news cameras at an election night watch party.

Emma covers her mouth, crying after receiving the news that she won. She’s standing next to two white men looking over her shoulder at the election results.

Emma hugs her campaign manager moments after her race was called.

We’re all hurting. I don’t have all the answers.

But I know that things won’t be this bleak forever.

I ran against a MAGA incumbent in a “safe red” district in KY as a progressive, openly queer, 28-year-old trans woman.

And I won.

Please, don’t let your heartbreak turn into apathy or cynicism 💙

After next census, blue wall states will no longer have enough electoral votes for Dems to win. Dems may need to win one of the current 4 southern swing states, as the next closest were all well to the right of the nation & trending Rep: OH (R+11), FL (13), IA (13), & TX (14).

Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky **Before you start following people**, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. **Turn off NSFW filters** in *Settings > Moderation > Content Filters and *Settings > Moderation > Advanced > Bluesky Moderation Service*. **Find your friends** from the hellsite using *SkyFollowerBridge.com*. **Follow a few feeds** related to your interests. Some generic feeds: - *Catch Up*: kinda like a “best posts of the week” - *Only Posts*: to see no quotes/reposts, only new posts from those you follow - *FollowersLike*: to discover random things your followers recently liked **Turn on “Show Posts From My Feeds”** in *Settings > Following Feed Preferences*. This will sprinkle random posts from your feeds into your main Home feed. **Block often.** Don’t interact with trolls, don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphyxiate. This is the Bsky way. **F*** content scrapers.** Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to *joabaldwin.com/scrapers* and on the top-right clicking on *Subscribe > Block Accounts* **Use alt text** to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on *Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting*. **Likes on reposts do not trigger notifications.** If you only repost stuff, it might look super quiet even if people are liking what you repost. Mix in more regular posts or quotes! **It takes time to rebuild**, and that is fine, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last few tweets to tell everyone to move. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit and will only get worse. Do not support the platform that wants to destroy you. If you must post for a bit longer, post cropped images telling people where to find the uncropped ones until all your friends make the move.
