This year, @ProPublica has been looking into the impacts of cities increasingly removing or “sweeping” encampments. We spoke with 135 people who had experienced sweeps. We also distributed notecards so people could write about it in their own words. 🧵

These people really hate women.

BREAKING: Lifesaving medication for postpartum hemorrhaging is being pulled off emergency carts because of new Louisiana law reclassifying misoprostol as a controlled dangerous substance. My first @pulitzercenter StoryReach article for @IlluminatorLA https://t.co/RkmZd3n6V0

This is good news and good policy. But it's missing an essential tool: public housing. Public housing has been underfunded for decades, leading. There's not enough of it and it's falling apart. Solving the housing crisis must include adequately funding public housing.

“Vice President Harris is committed to lower housing costs, including by increasing housing supply by building and preserving more homes.”

I grew up on a farm in rural Minnesota. Even into the 2000s, the GSA was often stigmatized and being called “gay” was an insult. I try not to get excited about politicians, but Walz seems like the real deal.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

At a time when acceptance was hard to find for LGBTQ+ students, @Tim_Walz knew the signal it would send for a football coach to get involved in the Gay Straight Alliance.

So he signed on to be the group’s faculty advisor.

I’m going to be insufferably Minnesotan from now until November. I may even start pronouncing “bag” “baeg” again.

Is there anyone in politics with worse political instincts than @GovKathyHochul ?

[Bernadette Hogan @bern_hogan]

.@GovKathyHochul is speaking @AspenInstitute now and gives advice to Democrats running in New York:

“Just to be moderate,” she says.

[Melissa Murray (@ProfMMurray on Threads 🧵) @ProfMMurray]

.@StrictScrutiny_ has been saying this for months. If TFG wins, Alito and Thomas are likely to step down... and will be replaced by much younger movement conservatives. And this 6-3 super-majority will endure for another generation.

Those are the stakes.

Approximately one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage. If you think you and your loved ones won’t be affected if this is allowed to continue, you’re wrong.

[Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti]

In the newsletter right now: Georgia cops are investigating a miscarriage, and it's following all of the traditional markers of pregnancy criminalization

This is disgraceful. California drives housing costs up, forcing people to live on the street. Now the governor gleefully demands cities destroy what homes unhoused folks have been able to create for themselves. Abject cruelty.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

No more excuses.

We’ve provided the time.

We’ve provided the funds.

Now it’s time for locals to do their job.

[Kate Fetrow @KateFetrow]

Okay Twitter let’s do Hochul next.

[Kate Fetrow @KateFetrow]

Can we all preemptively agree to call her “Harris” not “Kamala”? Let’s give her the respect we give to white male politicans.

BREAKING: Biden says he will consider dropping out of the race if a 'medical condition' was diagnosed by doctors

[Kate Fetrow @KateFetrow]

@ettingermentum “You should be thanking me, you ungrateful ingrates!” is quite the campaign message.

[Kate Fetrow @KateFetrow]

I too don't plan on having another ablahblahshabafluflufu.

[Kate Fetrow @KateFetrow]

Worth noting that in the Michigan primary over 100k people, when faced with a choice between Biden and literally no one, voted uncommitted.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Biden: You made me the nominee, no one else, not the press, not the pundits, not the insiders, not the donors. You the voters decided, no one else, and I'm not going anywhere.

[Kate Fetrow @KateFetrow]

@JasonBeeferman @GovKathyHochul ...everyone disputes that

[Kate Fetrow @KateFetrow]

Part of the problem now is that expectations for Biden have been lowered. If he (mostly, kinda) strings coherent sentences together that's seen as a "win." But that's an inexcusably low bar for the most important job in the country!

[Jennifer Bendery @jbendery]

Biden campaign folks feeling very good about tonight's press conference.

[Kate Fetrow @KateFetrow]

The "but Joe is a good man" defense is so baffling. He's not! He's enabling a genocide! But even if he were, the presidency isn't a reward for being a good guy; his interpersonal niceness is not a reason for him to be the Dem nominee.
