Hard to think of a more pernicious and enduring myth in American social policy than the distinction between the "deserving" and "undeserving" poor.

The big problem with homelessness is there aren’t enough laws against being homeless.

I guess if the goal was for Americans to have little to no economic certainty, this administration is doing a bang up job. It seems insane to go to work each day knowing there's at least a 30% chance of my employment ending based on the whims of a maniacal 82 year old.

@paddyboyland.bsky.social Thrilled that you and Matt are planning to do a live show in Chicago. I’m looking forward to it

@resnikoff.bsky.social The Trump admin's budget proposal is certainly supporting your argument that they are pro-homelessness.

The federal budget proposal is basically a plan for Americans to suffer more, die faster, and become dumber.

Happy Masters nap to you all

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

every day I spend time thinking about how stupid and unnecessary all of this is and I hate it

Stripping rights from 0.22% of the population all because you don't understand, are scared of the bogeyman that you've been told to fear, and are too cowardly and unwilling to learn about is some top-notch hate and cruelty. Shame on the GOP legislature of this state.

Big 6 nonsense again

7 minutes of VAR for our last two goals at Goodison.

Listening in to a HUD call and it sounds like the staff are being held against their will. Terrible.
