Biden's FEMA will reimburse cities 100% of the costs of putting unsheltered people into hotels til the end of September. Why are so many cities sleeping on this?

Hi! We threw the protest after campus carry had already been legalized, as lawmakers had chosen to ignore the wishes of the vast majority of students & faculty. So it was more reactionary, designed to highlight the double standards in the values in Texas than to prevent passage.
people on SF buy nothing are giving away their house of prime rib reservations for tonight because of the incoming scary sounding storm and i am so tempted to risk getting blown into a flooded gutter for impromptu prime rib

The Asian American community can be so embarrassing about how protective we are of our proximity to whiteness, all while playing the minority card when it serves us. There is so much work to be done amongst ourselves, SMDH.
"The gun violence epidemic is a public health issue that requires research, evidence-based solutions, and action led by communities affected by gun violence"
@JulianCastro
's team did their damned homework, y'all.
The toxic combination of hate and guns is a threat to all of our safety.
I have a plan starting day one of my presidency to combat white nationalism & end the gun violence epidemic.
The first step is defeating Donald Trump.
If you're in or near Lincoln, NE please look out for Millie, a 14yo abducted by someone in a red SUV. 5’8", 105 lbs. Last seen 5pm central in SW Lincoln in a short-sleeved black dress w/ a hot pink pattern. She's the most brilliant kid I've ever met. Please RT.

You're not doing a good job of avoiding talking about why Marsha Blackburn voted to make it harder for women to enforce their rights. Laws don't magically end inequity & discrimination. Still need to take that shit to court. See: Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, Kim Davis
Secretary
@JulianCastro
supports universal healthcare, debt-free college, universal pre-k, the Green New Deal. He's not afraid to talk about reparations & he truly gets the severity of the housing crisis because he ran HUD, dude. Underrated progressive champion.

This answer from
@JayInslee
about how he lost his seat for voting for an assault weapons ban but how shit works out long term when you're doing the right thing is really, really lovely.
Just learned that incarcerated workers will be forced to make the new furniture that replaces what was destroyed in the Capitol. This Tik Tok does a really good job of breaking it down:
This guy was trying to be a "good samaritan" and break up a fight. He was a black man with a concealed carry permit. Cops showed up, saw him with a gun, and shot him dead. Campus carry is a fuckin mess.
No person on this stage has a more personal tie to the border topic than

That’s a statistic made up by a disproven researcher named John Lott who once pretended to be a student named Mary Rosh so he could compliment his own work on the internet. All other evidence points to guns hurting more than they help.

Punishing only the kinds of protest that is quiet and ignorable feels like it defeats the purpose of protest in the first place? Also, if TAs being removed for supporting Palestinian students is disinfo, what is the real info?

All you had to do was Google "women sue for equal pay" to get a handful of articles to prevent you from looking willfully ignorant. Women still have to go to court over this shit. Legislation doesn't magically end inequality.

in this hell of a primary bc I've watched black and brown friends in gun violence prevention ask repeatedly, futilely, for a political champion to lift up their work. Sec. Castro has stepped into that responsibility with boldness, authenticity, compassion.
I'm proud to announce 58 new endorsements from across the country today— including activists, community leaders, public figures and elected officials.

án!
it's been in the low 50s and raining all week. imagine hearing the suffering of unsheltered people from the safety of your home but making it about *your* discomfort. concern and compassion are always an option.
I’ve been living in SF for a few weeks now and love it for the most part.
One thing that strongly irks me is hearing homeless people scream nonsense outside of my apartment on an almost daily basis.
"The country allowed the gangs to remake themselves as cultural associations that could register with the government, which in turn allowed them to qualify for grants and benefit from social programming, just like everybody else."
imagine the dissonance involved in feeling persecuted as a "straight white male" while maintaining such a misogynistic power complex when it comes to Chinese women
as i was walking to civic center station last night i had to call 911 to get medical attention for someone actively overdosing. at least 5 strangers stopped to render aid. i wish tech people who cant shut the fuck up about the tenderloin understood its deep culture of care first.

In Texas it's a misdemeanor to carry a phallic object openly because it's an "obscenity" and might offend someone, but you can carry a loaded rifle around without a license. In college classes you can conceal carry with a license but still cant have a dildo out in the open.
NEW YORK (AP) — An analysis by The Associated Press shows the nation's six big Wall Street banks saved at least $3.59 billion in taxes last quarter, thanks to the recently enacted Trump tax law.

Hi Aaricka! Glad you're doing this. I swam 15 miles a day in HS, played water polo in college, taught swim lessons for many summers. I think my biggest tip is that the breathing component should never be stressful. Inhale & exhale at a cadence/pressure that feels natural to you!

"These are done in cases where there may be severe deformities, in cases where the fetus may be non-viable." He is talking about extremely painful decisions that women make with their doctors and you need to butt out.
so many of y'all don't even know how to soft boil an egg or keep a fuckin succulent alive so it'd be great if we paused to count the ways we ourselves are mediocre before demanding that immigrants show exceptional capabilities to prove that they're worthy of dignity and safety!
Peter’s story hurts. People are saying that his parents don’t speak much English. Chinese American families/communities already aren’t that good at offering emotional support; there’s so much shame in struggle. I hope this doesn’t wind up isolating them from community support.

60% of the guns used in Chicago crimes come from outside of the state, 20% from Indiana where the gun laws are much looser. It's inaccurate to say that Chicago gun laws don't make it harder to get crime guns in Chicago-- that's why folks run to where it's easier to get them.

Last week I suggested to my partner to maybe throw some fish sauce into the bolognese we were making and he was like "no I want to do it right" without realizing that he was probably objectively wrong
so cool to date a brown guy who is like "hey maybe the compulsion to clear your plate even when you're full or not leave any line breaks in your nice notebook is an inherited scarcity mindset that will hold u down" unlike white guys who are like "haha what charming neuroticism"
Anyone finding that this pandemic is majorly resurrecting the immigrant survivor/scarcity mentality you inherited which you thought you'd mostly shaken? 🙋🏻♀️ My cupboard is overflowing with tinned fish.

12/ Gun violence reduction cannot happen without serious police reform.
@JulianCastro
doesn't dodge that reality for political convenience, and it's honestly one of the most refreshing, brave, and honest stances on gun violence that I've seen from a politician in years.
deeply rattled by the news of christina lee getting stabbed to death in her nyc chinatown apt by a dude who followed her into her building. could have easily been me. also fuck nypost for publishing photos of her body being wheeled out. we deserve safety, dignity in life & death.
