A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts. Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

The last time the U.S. hosted the World Cup, a ticket to the final was <$200 — in today's dollars. Next year, we're looking at *face value* tickets of $6,000. I joined Lina Khan on @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social last week to talk about FIFA's absurd and greedy ticketing plans.

This morning, Border Patrol agents hiding in Penske rental trucks raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles to grab day laborers standing around, which the Border Patrol's current CA lead Gregory Bovino called "Operation Trojan Horse." Raises very serious questions about violation of the court order.

Breaking:  DHS arrives in Penske trucks at a Home Depot in McArthur Park area of LA for early morning immigration enforcement.    The area was filled with migrants who scattered.  DHS says MS 13 has a chokehold on this area, which is one reason they’re carrying out the highly. Underneath is a screenshot of an 8 second video showing agents lifting the door of a rental truck from the inside as they get ready to jump and out and grab people.

Everything is falling apart in the UK because it has all been privatised and they won't use the profits for building new stuff or even maintaining old stuff. No, they will just steal it all and then you can fix it as if it is nationalised.

Looking at over 55 national and state polls across six categories of tax reforms, a billionaire income tax garners the most support across party identification (67% average) and a wealth tax had similarly high levels of support: 78% of Democrats, 62% of Independents, and 51% of Republicans.

Please understand this is one of the most important reasons to do universal basic income. Yes, UBI will reduce poverty, but it will also help everyone not in poverty by reducing their chronic stress. A society-wide decrease in stress would be huge. It would make more possible so many other reforms.

Another reason to watch this is what @garyseconomics.bsky.social predicts about rising far-right parties and their liberal opposition. Until we reduce inequality, we will bounce between an authoritarian right increasingly blaming immigrants and a center-left that doesn't reduce inequality and loses.

To be disabled is almost always to be traumatized. It’s living in a body that can’t keep you safe. It’s doctors dismissing you. It’s family and friends abandoning you. It’s living in a society that doesn’t see your value. It’s constantly having to prove your life is worth living.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration.
