A few weeks ago, I got to see The Public, Emilio Estevez's new movie about the homeless in libraries and talk to him and activists about how to help people find housing and why librarians rock. Par of our latest pod: motherjones.com/media/2019/04/…
Ok, and can we talk about this cast? Estevez Alec Baldwin, Jena Malone, Christian Slater, Gabrielle Union, Taylor Schilling, Jacob Vargas, Michael Kenneth Williams, Jeffrey Wright....
Emilio, me, and the head of Path also spent a lot of time discussing Housing First, and how effective it has been in reducing the number of homeless—and massive costs cities bear. Here's our big feature on it: motherjones.com/politics/2015/…

#1 is right. Maybe #2 is right. But then it goes deeply off track. And any list that doesn’t have Sweet Smell of Success, Philadelphia Story, and Ace in the Hole is wrong wrong wrong. poynter.org/business-work/…
And The Post is mediocre

While piece gets at Ivanka’s blinkered vacuousness, it doesn’t make the obvious point that by choosing being a bauble on the finger of a racist bigot autocrat is arguably worse than being the autocrat. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Maybe the question isn’t: will Javanka be admitted back into New York society, but which terrible people will facilitate that? And will they be shunned.
Also: it’s not just that Ivanka didn’t deliver on Paris to the fools who thought she would/wanted to, or that she and Jared were on vacation after Charlottesville. She has lied about her father’s worst policies like child separation, and they both actively aid and abet them.

Maybe Reality Winner’s case wasn’t as complex. Or maybe she was a girl for whom the same journalism-y actors did not really rise to strenuously defend because it didn’t fit their narrative as well.
I think that’s worth debating. Also she was never accused of sexual assault.
Another complicating factor is that the Intercept accidentally revealed Reality Winner’s identity. Maybe why some of those most fiercely decrying Assange’s arrest don’t talk about her much. nytimes.com/2017/06/06/bus…

(Thread.) Watched Susie Green on @vicderbyshire. She seemed confused herself about what the complaint was about; started off saying it was "not just" about the misgendering, but later seemed to be claiming it wasn't about misgendering at all. (1)
Susie stated that the Equality Act makes it illegal to refer to someone *in the past tense* as male when they have since gone through MTF transition. I don't have time to go scouring the Act to verify but this is a new one on me. (2)
One of the "offending" tweets shown accused Susie of disregarding Samaritans guidelines on how to talk about suicide in the media. Later in the interview, Susie referred to a recent case of a young person who had killed herself... (3)

People don't seem to understand how crippling and absolutely murderous the Venezuela sanctions are. Here is a little thread about what they are, and how they work. And here is a link to the primary source: state.gov/e/eb/tfs/spi/v…
As an initial matter, there was a United Nations report on the Venezuela sanctions, which bluntly stated that the "economic sanctions kill" Venezuelans. The full report itself is very readable. web.archive.org/web/2019013020…
So let's look at some of the sanctions that were imposed in August 2017. Section 1 over here makes it illegal for the government of Venezuela to raise any kind of money, through the sale of bonds or securities. It also makes it illegal for Venezuelan companies to remit profits.

This is the Brand New Congress LLC headquarters at 714 S Gay St, Knoxville TN.
It was also the campaign headquarters of Democratic congressional candidates in New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Illinois.
I wonder if the socialists located their for-profit skimming operation in Tennessee to avoid state income tax.

NEW: The choas enveloping Virginia deepened early this morning when @LGJustinFairfax issued a statement at 2:55AM denying claims of sexual assault from 2004 - and threatened to sue those who spread the claims.

First take from a shell-shocked Richmond >

Updated lede-all w @alanblinder: Northam under siege, meeting w cabinet, while Fairfax vehemently denies charges of sexual assault and Speaker Kirk Cox says he’s not sure there are grounds to impeach the gov

On the mess >

....and the Post publishes the woman’s account, says they could not corroborate last year. BUT the paper denies Fairfax statement that they held off bc of “red flags”

People really need to focus because there is a scheme underway in #Malta to bury two crimes. These crimes go all the way to Castille. Ignore the noise that @MaltaGov & @PL_Malta have become so adept at creating & focus.

Naturally these relate to @keithaschembri 1/
Besides the high profile #17Black & #Egrant, there are 2 magisterial inquiries meant to be underway. They have been underway now for just under 2 years & there is no reason why they should be taking so long other than due to interference & behind the scenes efforts @ burying 2/
Which inquiries & crimes are these?

- Kickbacks in relation to the sale of #GoldenPassports from Brian Tonna to Keith Schembri via Pilatus Bank
- Kickbacks & laundering of proceeds paid to Adrian Hillman by Schembri the disgraced & planted ex-head of Times of Malta 3/

i know there’s are a lot of people who are skeptical of demons and spirits. but I would strongly advise you to stay far away from ouija boards. I learned this the hard way as a child
so a few weeks ago I tweeted this about my aunt who lived in New Orleans. Even though she was family she was mean as hell and overall a very toxic person to be around. She would beat me and my cousins alot as children and she would always curse at us for no reason.
my aunt was into some weird shit. she owned an antique shop in New Orleans & she had a living space that was right under it. she would collected skulls and candles and set them up all around her house. My grandma thought she was heavy into witchcraft and didn’t want me over there
