The only way this could happen is if they manage to displace thousands of poor families (which likely would reduce the poverty rate — be careful what measures you ask for!) But by 2030? Nahhh. Absurd. But so is most of their propaganda. And the @ajc.com will likely swallow this whole.
Stephen OwensReading up on the Atlanta TAD legislation and they have written down that tax allocation districts will reduce child poverty in the city by 25 percent by 2030. Big if true.

Republicans will probably lose Michigan's Senate race despite El-Sayed's win. Contrary to the Takes about the primary, the polls and election "fundamentals" do not suggest Stevens would have performed significantly better www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-08-06...

Mr Krabs Plays Worlds Smallest ViolinAlt: Mr Krabs Plays Worlds Smallest Violin.static.klipy.comThe Wall Street JournalNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Except for religious studies, the graduates of these "loan ineligible" majors are disproportionately women. Fans of this policy have probably never considered that social worker, cosmetician, teachers aide, etc might be low-paying jobs *because* women do them. newrepublic.com/post/213446/...

“The free market build New York” 🤣🤣🤣 Read a damn book.
USA TODAY OpinionOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

It's genuinely a massive problem that the median voter both 1) believes "criminal illegal immigrants" to be an astronomically more serious threat than they actually are, and 2) believes that the legal immigration process is substantially easier than it actually is.
Sunsette / Cynthia SkyeI understand your position, but those are different situations. People straight up both envision a system much milder than exists and cannot imagine a modern world without that imaginary system. By default they have no real grasp of reality on the matter, but are usu. sympathetic to individuals.

I’ve been writing a counter narrative of shutdowns that has me revisiting media from that time. And let me tell you, the only other option was everybody die. So yeah.
Peterit’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

Ummm. Techbro developers said “Let’s find a good salesman for a product that many find to be surrounded in corruption. Some guy with squeaky-clean reputation.” Or…maybe not.
Jessy EdwardsA video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

This paper shows that immigration enforcement can _increase_ crime. Undocumented immigrants already have the lowest crime rate, but tough-on-immigration policy makes immigrants less likely to report crime. So immigration enforcement worsens the problem it was ostensibly meant to solve

I’m so naïve I really didn’t think they would let the president sell high-level oval office information to traders for his own enrichment.

It’s not a panacea, but the fascists are getting 20-25% of the vote & aren’t dominating politics in multiparty systems. Also, Americans love to point to 🇮🇱 & 🇬🇧, which are two of the worst-designed parliamentary systems. Anyway, more & stronger parties are absolutely a bulwark against fascism.
Noah Berlatskypeople love the idea of a multi party system. based on israel, UK, and really lots of other places, I'm much less convinced. our problem is fascism. if we don't defeat fascism, it doesn't matter how many parties we have.

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.
