Economists generally will agree that a well-designed basic income can support workers without major disincentives. No study on UBI has shown a meaningful drop in employment, beyond students and new parents. We want those people to focus on school and raising the next gen.

This was great. It's things I've been saying for years. youtu.be/w1P79Ryy50w?...

Democrats have outperformed previous results in 38 out of 40 state & federal legislative races in 2025 so far, with the latest polls showing that trend likely to continue in key races for governor this Nov. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

So basically they are going to look up how many black people were admitted in a given university and decide whether it’s too many. We all know they aren’t going to look at thousands of schools, so this is really about the Ivies…again.

holy shit lmao

Scientists have released the closest images ever taken near the sun, captured by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flying 3.8 million miles above the solar surface. See more images of solar eruptions on the sun: wapo.st/3Irm3P3

House Republicans have passed Trump’s budget bill that cuts Medicaid, food stamps, and vital government services to give tax cuts to billionaires. The bill would kick 9 million Americans off their health care coverage, 3 million off of food stamps, and add $3.8 trillion to the federal deficit.

See. Told you.

Twitter really breaking down. Again.

Texas and Florida having a battle to the death over who’s the dumbest state

I apologize for my profession which has been too indoctrinated in the Goldwater Rule to speak out that he shows multiple symptoms of cognitive inflexibility, personality disorder, impulsivity, erratic mood swings, word retrieval, memory issues & other problems that would warrant further evaluation

BREAKING Some of the most prestigious universities in the country have formed a private collective to counter the Trump administration’s attacks on research funding and academic independence. The group’s aim is to avoid the fate of some top law firms, where one deal led to others following suit.

In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS, the nation's primary public broadcasters.

A WH official confirmed today that President Trump plans to overhaul the Endangered Species Act to make it easier to build in the U.S. where endangered species live. A proposed rule would eliminate habitat protections by changing the definition of "harm" to listed species.

This professor studies dictatorships. He helped convince Harvard to stand up to Trump

I don't know how you can listen to this woman and not be doing everything in your power to bring him home. The Trump administration and Bukele's government are clearly using terror as a weapon against innocent people to scare us into submission. Kilmar Abrego Garcia deserves due process in the U.S.

This book has every trigger warning imaginable but I never felt like it was trauma for the sake of it and it’s a great portrayal of a girl and her two sisters navigating a abusive environment due in large part because of their shitty wizard father.

Homeless workers now have to submit *proof of employment* to be allowed to sleep in their cars in one of the richest counties in the U.S. Welcome to America: people shivering overnight in subzero temperatures, steps from luxury ski resorts, for the privilege of keeping the local economy booming.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — A second child died from measles-related illness in growing Texas outbreak, hospital spokesman says.

i may be unserious, hysterical and woke, but my strategy of “taking trump seriously no matter how insane he sounds” has paid more analytical dividends than the alternatives

At some point we gotta have a serious conversation about the constitution. We’re 200 plus years into this and we still haven’t gotten to the root problem of this country.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

I didn’t think it was possible to be an elitist who also validates the bigotry of others, but Kimvotesblue has managed it. That aside, there are people with not much education who treat everyone with respect. There are also well-educated and moneyed bigots.

I'm so tired of the MSM showcasing the "I didn't vote for this" people. They absolutely did vote for this... their/his plans weren't a secret. It was repeated at rallies, in interviews & published. Again, #they didn't think the leopards would eat their faces.

Israel killed 15 aid workers in Gaza, shot some in the head and chest, bound their hands, and buried them under sand in Rafah. This was a massacre. 📌 Read the full story:

NEW at PROOF: An admittedly terrifying report on what is likely to happen in the United States over the next twelve months. Reader discretion advised.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is introducing a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, the case that opened the floodgates to dark money and the buying of elections by billionnaires. 👏👏👏

The problem with education in the US is more than half of a child's educational outcomes are predicted by the level of education their parents completed and what income bracket they are in. Bluntly, many other countries do a better job of educating poor kids than we do 🤷🏾‍♂️

A top vaccine advisor at the FDA was forced to resign on Friday. In his resignation letter, Dr. Peter Marks, wrote "truth and transparency are not desired," by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait. Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to them tech has won.

Trump signed an executive order that "improper, divisive or anti-American ideology" is removed from the Smithsonian Institution The order singles out the National Museum of African American History and Culture as problematic

The Celtics are off the market. Boston is being sold to tech billionaire William Chisholm at a $6.1 billion valuation, a North American sports record, a source tells @mikevorkunov.bsky.social. More www.nytimes.com/athletic/621...

He wants kids to be as educated as kids in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden - all three of those countries have Departments of Education. I just... yeah...

Dozens of fires across Oklahoma have destroyed nearly 300 structures and burned close to 200,000 acres, Gov. Kevin Stitt said Saturday morning, as dangerous fire conditions persisted from Texas to Nebraska.

Fun fact: all of the resistance to nationalized healthcare in America is grounded in this kind of sentiment. Additionally, all of the resistance to other public welfare programs is also grounded in this sentiment. If it would provide a measurable benefit to Black people, white people will sink it.

I’m just gonna stick to my three favorite booktokers anything beyond that is redundant if their not recommending niche types of books

Alright I’m gonna do a rapid fire review of all the books I read recently.

Yep.. Thurgood Marshall is somewhere disgusted.

Happy Sunday ☘️

One can never truly appease bullies. They see attempts to do so as weakness begging to be attacked.

Fiction is an excellent way to explore social, economic, cultural, and political questions that may not have definite right or wrong answers.

The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.
