I don't know the author of this storybook about the Portland Frog but it's hilarious and I'd gladly have it read to me every night. 🐸😆

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself.

It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch
The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:
- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital
SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

I'm seeing a whole lot less outrage for the journalists of color who have been systematically discarded at places like NBC and CBS (and across journalism, really) than the response to Jimmy Kimmel's 5-day suspension.

Spotify is allowing ICE to run recruitment ads on its platform, even though they violate the company's ad policies against promoting violence, behaviors that put people at risk of harm, and harmful & unlawful content. Let's ramp this protest up.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.
Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

Tip of the effin' ICEberg, this is.
A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto
She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card
Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.
She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.
It’s retaliation & it’s wrong
