The lede is like something a soldier might have written decades after storming Omaha Beach, and having lived long enough to tell his grandchildren about how he somehow survived that fateful day.

"Sweeping cuts to social services by Finland's rightwing government have seen the country's [Housing First] success story go into reverse." We've seen this before with public housing: a program is deliberately gutted, and then the consequences are offered as proof that the model itself "failed."

You have to be a better reader than a lot of people are lately to glean from this article the extent to which Finland's housing-first policy was wildly successful until a racist right-wing government derailed it by gutting funding and services. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Starting this month, kids can get Trump Accounts. But for some families caring for disabled children — who will need savings most as they come of age — the accounts could create big problems. That's because of outdated SSI asset limits; Congress should raise them. www.cbpp.org/blog/outdate...

For Americans with Disabilities Act anniversary, sharing this interview I did with ADA's primary author Tony Coelho last year at @motherjones.com. He shared the importance of bipartisanship in getting it across the line. Something that seems impossible now. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.
