A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness.
For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

People who in 2024 proclaimed, “I’m not voting for Kamala because I oppose genocide,“ were really more like belligerent drunks at a sports bar announcing, “A round of lots more genocide for everyone! On me!”

For a Court as fetishistic about “history” as this one, it is remarkable to read opinions in which phenomena like racially polarized voting and turnout gaps are treated as if they just kind of spontaneously apparate or vanish, with no relationship to law.

The Supreme Court decision affirms the refusal of the United States to take any responsibility for about 200 years of slavery, exclusion and plunder, perverting the very meaning of our history and language to vilify the modest, incomplete measures taken over a few short decades to address this crime

One doll, two pencils and liver. Side order of measles: wonder why they left it out of the State of the Union?
RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef:
"Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

Pamela Jo Bondi not knowing who made the decision to send Ghislaine Maxwell to summer camp can only mean Pam Bondi is incompetently incurious about her most prominent case—or she’s lying. Given her general aversion to the truth, I pick the latter.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.
