- Reposted by Melissa Jones Pelczynski"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

- Reposted by Melissa Jones PelczynskiI just learned that The Post fired Marty Weil. I wasn't in the newsroom much, but when I was, he came in for his evening shifts, he would come through and say hello to literally everyone there. A really great guy, and a true sign of what The Post is giving up.

- Reposted by Melissa Jones PelczynskiOur founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

- Reposted by Melissa Jones PelczynskiBut also, and this speaks to the sort of clarity of thinking that’s really needed in this grim political moment, there’s a difference between expressing despair because you’re feeling despair and want solidarity in its expression and viewing despair, in all contexts, as more sophisticated than hope.

- Reposted by Melissa Jones PelczynskiWhen you’re asked to explain lawless actions. Every cabinet Secy is just making it up as they go along w/the sole goal of doing Trump’s will, leaving the next cabinet member to stumble around trying to make lawlessness make sense.

- Reposted by Melissa Jones PelczynskiThe underlying dynamic is that for Jeff Bezos and the other media oligarchs, their news business is a tiny fraction of their overall business holdings and they are willing to sacrifice it to appease Trump. They resisted in term one; this time, they capitulated. www.mediamatters.org/cbs/year-med...

- Reposted by Melissa Jones PelczynskiFolks, every single video you've seen on here (or anywhere online) of local law enforcement arresting ICE is fake. They're all AI-generated. They're not real. I know they may look real to you, but they're not. Please, for the love of all that's good, stop sharing these videos.

- Reposted by Melissa Jones PelczynskiKelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas. Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member. We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

- Reposted by Melissa Jones PelczynskiWRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
