I very strongly believe that one of the most dangerous things about our society is that most people neither understand what an actual expert is nor know how to identify a genuine expert

Yup, should have drafted a center (Duke kid) in the Morgan draft. Could have still gotten rid of Myers, wouldn’t have had to sign Banks.

Absolutely. Public transportation and the frequency of it also fosters conversation and a sense of community. It’s a different mindset and it is reflected in how cities and infrastructure are designed. There’s also a greater degree of empathy when you’re exposed to people like this

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.

β€œIn 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.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Washington DC has 702,000 people, is 45% Black and has 0 senators

Wyoming has 590,000 people, is 86% white and has 2 senators

Traditionally, working class people, POCs, young people, LGBTQIIA+ ppl, lower-income folks, but the corporatist approach has driven lower-income ppl out & concentrated more on wealthier suburbanites. Dem leaning base, esp. younger has become increasingly more progressive on policies & disconnected

Even that, i.e., this notion of the β€œbase” that she raises is a mischaracterization. Is that the same base that did not turn out to vote in β€˜24 bc they were not inspired by a preserve the status quo message? Somehow it’s okay to dismiss & trash THAT base but invoke the β€œbase” to attack progressives

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

Two days ago, an act of senseless violence took the lives of Officer Didarul Islam, Wesley LePatner, Aland Etienne, and Julia Hyman.

Today, I visited Officer Islam's family and learned of his legacy.

I ask you to join me in in honoring the memory of these four New Yorkers.
