1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families.

My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!

A new paper from @econliberties.bsky.social shows that the culprit is a shift in how homebuilding is financed that ultimately favored Wall Street profits over Main Street’s housing needs.

I watched the whole clip and there are some good comments in there- but the part he chooses to write in this post is not nearly strong enough in its condemnation of ICE or Border Patrol.
ICE should be cracking down on the cartels, not our communities.
ICE should be deporting gang members, not small business owners.
ICE should be hunting down human traffickers, not moms and babies.

“We owe it to our young people not to lie to them anymore. A democracy whose citizens operate with fundamentally different understandings of the past and its implications cannot sustain itself.”
I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”
Tell Students the Truth About American History
We owe it to Americans of all ages to be honest about the country’s past, including its contradictions.
