Jake Tapper sucks and he still has not apologized for smearing Rashida Tlaib. He literally made up a quote she did not say to try to create a fake outrage cycle on national television. He consistently demonstrates anti-Muslim bias.

Efforts to restrict DEl are in opposition to Christ's teachings of radical inclusion and love. LMU will continue to champion academic freedom, social justice and human dignity not as politics, but as moral imperatives required by our faith.”

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

CNN: A new poll gives us a sense of who Democrats and Democratic leaning voters think best aligns with the party's core values. And that's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :)
