So yesterday, a few colleagues and I published a report that lays out a pretty important history between our countries legacy of racism and white supremacy and state tax policy. I wanna dive into it a bit here. (thread) cbpp.org/research/state-budg…
USDA guidance makes intentionally hostile and cruel food policy MORE hostile and cruel.
Last Friday, USDA issued new info about how some of the Republican megabill’s deepest #SNAP cuts will take effect. This guidance goes beyond what's required by law, setting states up to fail with implementation & increasing the risk eligible people lose SNAP unnecessarily.🧵

It's been 10yrs since the DOJs Ferguson Report (released after Michael Brown’s death at the hands of Ferguson PD) exposed the harms of criminal fines & fees. While MO has made some progress in addressing the issue, lawmakers continue make matters worse in other ways (thread).
Context: the DOJ report revealed how city officials prioritized revenue over justice. Municipal courts issued thousands of arrest warrants, mostly to Black residents, with residents facing arrest & jail time for their inability to pay fines & fees justice.gov/sites/default/fi…

important research @Brandon_McKoy

Super proud of the Huskies. Played an amazing game and had a fantastic end to an up-and-down season. They’ll be back.

Great piece by @ChristineEmba about how lost men are, socially, economically, emotionally, etc... I'd be curious for a follow up from her about Black men in particular. How the intersection of race plays out in this trend.
🚨 New piece alert! 🚨
Keke Palmer’s boyfriend is acting up, Jonah Hill is a lame, and at least one guy you know has turned into an absolute weirdo.
What’s going on with men???
I spent a few months investigating…

I lost it at Corpy McCorpCorp 😂😂😂
NJPP’s @ptrchn1 shows us *exactly* what it will look like if New Jersey re-opens certain corporate tax loopholes — complete with Bermuda shorts.
Toys R Us infamously used a similar scheme to shift their profits to a tax haven.
I don’t think you understand. When you have two tiny humans asleep at night it means there’s nowhere safe for you to blow your nose between the hours of 7:30pm - 6:00am. I don’t make the rules, but I’m clearly bound by them.

THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. Progressive states need to go all in when it comes to enacting progressive policies wherever they can, whenever they can. It's good policy, good politics and can create a domino effect in other states and nationally.
I was told not to tweet this until the houses adjourned for fear of jinxing it, but the Minnesota legislature just completed what is probably the most productive session anywhere in the country since probably the New Deal. Sweeping bills and reforms across every area of life.

Work requirements are bad public policy that actually make it harder for people to thrive. Read it here: cbpp.org/research/poverty-an…
