VA virtually solved the problem of veteran homelessness with a Housing First approach. Then the Trump administration abandoned HF and veteran homelessness started going up again. After which Biden reinstated HF, which again caused veteran homelessness to decline.
The kicker here is so important: "Veterans were the lone group among whom homelessness declined last year, the report found. That continues a long-term trend driven by bipartisan support for services and housing..." There are strategies for fixing this problem that have shown success.

So proud of the great work happening in Minneapolis, which shows that boosting housing supply helps make homes more affordable.

Friendly reminder that there’s an app called Paprika. It costs a couple bucks fyi, but worth it. When you find a recipe you like, copy the URL, paste it into Paprika, it downloads the recipe and saves it as a simple recipe card. You can use it to make your own digital recipe book/archive.

“Your body, my choice,” degrading and dehumanizing trans people, banning racism from being taught in schools —- these are not “different” ideas. These are dangerous ideas that take away people’s humanity. Historically, we’ve seen how these types of ideas lead to damaging and devastating results.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

A casual reminder that Amtrak replaced 43 miles of track on the Keystone Line in 25% of the originally estimated project time and on budget because it owns the track and was able to do everything in-house. Maybe we should build state capacity and nationalize the rails?

The “just stop doing identity politics” crowd (Yglesias, etc.) really just want that to be the quick fix for the Democratic Party, but it really just reveals how lazy they are in the way they think about politics.

I feel like a lot of people have been talking about how they like the friendlier tone of discourse on Bluesky which sure I’m also a fan of, but it’s really the lack of bots and ads popping up everywhere that I’ve been enjoying. Don’t know if that lasts, but for now at least I’m happy with it
