The Research All Points in the Same Direction: Adding More Homes Curbs Rents for Low-Income Tenants - Metropolitan Abundance Project The Center on Poverty and Inequality at Georgetown Law made a surprising and contrarian argument in a new paper: adding more homes does not benefit low-income tenants. Three recent separate analyses o...

This is the strangest thing: I'm almost positive this article, which rewrites a thing I supposedly wrote, completely hallucinated an article I wrote?

🚨🚨🚨 I want to abolish ICE. Period. @rajaforil.bsky.social thanked ICE, funded ICE, and took money from an ICE contractor.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Incredible that the actor who played Dennis Duffy has done exactly the same bit in 15 years’ worth of commercials

7-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies Of Dehydration And Shock In U.S. Border Patrol Custody The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

a lot of "AI hype" discourse makes more sense when you realize that a lot of initial LLM/GenAI hype envisioned replacing artists and PhDs, and its actual impacts have been much greater on coders and other tech workers

creatives/experts see "AI" as underperforming hype, techies see it overperforming

The bravery Marimar Martinez has shown in fighting the very federal government that tried to execute her to make it possible for all of us to see these messages is “name an elementary school after you” level of hero status.
