Housing is too expensive because local NIMBY politicians clamp down on the production and use of housing. Blaming immigrants for the problem is a cowardly bigoted lie.

I've had a hell of a time getting a new pair of glasses that works for me. But I have to say Zenni online has pretty good glasses and is pretty easy to work with, and very economical. (I have no financial interest here.)

It was always a lie that the focus would be deporting the worst of the worst. To get Dreamer/DACA status basically meant you were a Girl Scout or Boy Scout. And it's silly because many of these people got educated here since 2012 and now we're losing that talent and skill. 🤷🏾♀️
Dreamers were once obvious candidates for a path to citizenship. Now, they’re getting picked up, detained, and set for potential deportation.
Then they came for the Dreamers
Immigrants brought here as children were told they wouldn’t be deported. Now, they’re being targeted anyway.

Look, I was as critical of Obamacare as anyone. But the solution is NOT to just blow up the current system, but to create better alternatives and build in transition plans.

MIDNIGHT UPDATE: Moderate/Dem-backed candidates are currently sweeping every school board race in conservative Douglas County, Colorado (home to a famous school voucher experiment). Would give moderates total 7-0 control of the school board. #copolitics
