There was also a number of GOP women, such as Alyssa Farah, pushing it. They seemed to be either looking for any reason not to vote for Biden OR were simply grifting.
In January 2020, I heard Resmaa Menaken speak at conference. He started by telling the white people in attendance to listen more. Don't talk. Just listen.
Talking too many times is an attempt to reframe things into a familiar, but false, narrative.
Hannity was losing his shit last night. He clearly was pissed that Trump accepted the offer.
Ingraham was framing it as a No Big Deal thing. Hannity blew it up. I figure Hannity knows that Trump has to be a bully and distraction. He needs to appear strong and dominant, he needs to interrupt Biden to take advantage of Biden's stutter, and, most importantly, he needs to deflect from any conversation about policy.
Holding Biden accountable for his policies is going to force a comparison of positions.
It means that any images of the border in July and August can be reframed is Trump's insistence that the GOP tank the bipartisan bill. It forces Trump to own Dobbs.
Y'all want to hear a fact that really changed the way I thought about homelessness?
Half of all homeless people were in the foster system at some point. Social Workers often call the foster system The Highway to Homelessness. If you ever had a point in your life where you had to live with friends or family to for a short time to get back on your feet, remember that is a privilege that not everyone had.
Currently, 26 states have extended services for those in foster care that allow them to continue to receive services until they are 21 years old. However, it is underutilized.
One program that I encourage anyone interested in helping foster youth is CASA - Court Appointed Special Advocates. CASA programs are in every state (except North Dakota) and DC. It is similar to a Big Brother/Big Sister program as you will be assigned to a foster child. You spend time with the child and submit reports to the judge.
Social workers frequently change as some counties have a system in which a different social worker handles a specific step of the case. The CASA allows for continuity for the child. A CASA can make a huge difference in a child's life.
I think CA extends through 21, so that would be up to the 22nd birthday. I worked the legal side of CPS, and if a foster youth was in the extended program, there were a lot of good outcomes.
Ingraham was trying to make the best of it saying that he'll be fine. Hannity lost it. He clearly thinks Trump accepting the offer was the wrong thing to do.
