100% and a great way to do this is UBI. Why are we not even talking about this in any meaningful way. UBI tackles the root causes of poverty and costs less than incarceration and bandaid programs that really do nothing substantial in creating real change.

Transformative does not mean good but he knows Trump will take it that way. It is nicely vague.

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.

Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.

And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.

Thank you Zack. 💪

This ‘deal’ is between the US and Isreal. There hasn’t been a negotiation. It’s an ultimatum and a threat.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Basic income is just using existing money in the economy more efficiently.

People saying that nobody needs to see the Charlie Kirk close up footage , I think people do and if people are going to be upset by it , good. Now picture it with classrooms full of 6 year olds.

If only there was a way to reduce government inefficiency and costs while at the same time supporting people and the economy…oh wait there is. It’s called Universal Basic Income.

Your occasional reminder that the positive effects of UBI have been tested and validated hundreds of times more often than the murderous Musk robotaxis or LLM’s we’re rushing to put into our schools and streets.

For the past three years, the city has been giving cash to some struggling renters, no strings attached.

The first-in-the-nation experiment has been even more successful than researchers studying its impact expected.

Philly’s first-in-the-nation experiment giving cash to struggling renters is working, researchers say

Families that got cash rental assistance were less likely to be evicted, experience homelessness, and report having serious problems with their homes, according to a study of the PHLHousing+ program.

This fake emergency at the border allows him to bypass congress and implement whatever tariffs he wants. It’s a power grab and nothing else.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social was applauding the Gaza segment on Power & Politics tonight. You gave Danny Glenwright from Save the Children the space to rage about what is going on and for the first time in a long time I was able to see real Gaza coverage and reporting on the CBC. More of this please.
