A group of homeless people in San Francisco got $500 a month for 6 months, no strings attached.
Two-thirds of them got on their feet and secured stable long-term housing.
Amazing what happens when you treat poor people like human beings

How are we still here? So many emotions, including a lot of sadness and frustration. Advocates, we must take the time to rest and prepare to vote out all the politicians who hold back the progress of society with their cynicism.

Our public discourse is full of religious zeal, but it’s spiritually impoverished. People need grace but receive condemnation. Genuine Friendship is replaced by factions. And too many of us withhold empathy so we can be sure that you receive our judgment.

Y’all just wake up to tweet dumb stuff and not make sense. Leave me alone and keep being miserable. 😂. If the guy had a guaranteed income, he probably wouldn’t be stealing money 🤔

Gee, Stockton's ousted former mayor initiated guaranteed income in his poor city of $500/mo. I guess that handout didn't work for this guy...that just wet his appetite for even more freebies (at the expense of others). Gosh, human nature, I guess.

If anyone doubts whether this election is a stinging, crushing defeat for Trumpism, just look at the meltdown happening on Fox, on talk radio, and on this website. They perceive the devastating damage done to their cause.

The nerve of people who ask “how are you going to pay for it?” whenever we propose building advanced public education, healthcare, & climate infrastructure yet defend a system where Trump pays $750 in taxes and Amazon pays none is beyond me.

The Democratic Party still practices coalition politics, still serves as a vehicle for the diverse interests and ideas in society to filter up into legislation, still believes in rule of law. Right now, it is the only major party that does that.

While I love that my beloved Mississippi is getting a new flag, the fact that NONE of these leaders has on a mask is woefully unacceptable and irresponsible. Y’all despite the Governor or President’s willingness to acknowledge facts, it’s still a pandemic. #maskup

The commission has spoken: the New Magnolia flag (now known, by their vote, the In God We Trust flag) will be on the ballot on November. May all eligible Mississippi voters support it.

Exactly. By saying Trump incites “hate” or is “divisive,” we are really denying what is actually going on.
So let’s be clear with words: The President incites terrorism, the unlawful use of violence against civilians in pursuit of political gains. Say it.

Trump actually offers a defense of Kyle Rittenhouse, his right-wing supporter who killed two protesters.
"I guess he was in very big trouble, he probably would've been killed."
