Uff. I'm sorry to hear this. I appreciated Delgado pressuring Hochul -- it made her less awful.
Now it's on US to pressure her, friends in New York.
For example, today's a great day to tell her to support NY 4 All and Dignity Not Detention! (links in next post)
Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.
Something for everyone in here. Listen to them all

"Whether you think DHS was always a mistake or whether you believe it was a necessary response to 9/11, it wasn’t very long ago. If you can remember a world before “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” you can remember a world without DHS. And so you can imagine a future without it as well."

Polis gives a couple of decent answers and quite a few bullshit answers here. Give it a listen and give him a call

if we did $2k in 20 minutes we can do $24k by the end of the day, right?
please amplify!
the whole point of being an american is eating food from every country on earth with people from that country and partying with them. that's the thing we're best at and it's fun as hell and i can't believe these dickheads are trying to fuck things up for us

The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.
