Tariq Panja@tariqpanja.bsky.social · 2mo agoIn his first interview since being kicked out of the US, FIFA referee Omar Artan tells’s the NYT’s Matt Bigg that the biggest dream of his professional life has been shattered. The World Cup ref was questioned for 11 hours, held in a cell and then dumped on a plane. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/w...
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

1/ Policy is downstream of culture. That's something I've believed for a long time — and sitting down with comedian, director, and Emmy and Peabody winner @wkamaubell.bsky.social at Guaranteed Income Now in Austin, TX last week, he gave me a sharper way to say it:
In Atlanta last month, we asked local leaders what a #GoodLife means to them. Their answers were clear: Affordable and quality housing. Access to healthcare. Jobs with dignity. And above all: more time with family and less time stretched thin trying to make everything work. 📹

1/ Last week, under the shadow of the Michigan state capitol, I gave a keynote address to the hundreds of people gathered to ask a question 250 years in the making: Are we fulfilling the promise of democracy in America?
Keynote @nataliefoster.bsky.social opened her speech with an analogy from Ada Limon of "unsung third stanzas" in American "songs" for democracy. "The promise was work hard, play by the rules and the country will reward you. But that unsung stanza is unless you are born into poverty." #mlppforum

1/ I’ve been working with cash transfers for over a decade and one of the questions I repeatedly get asked is: Wouldn’t giving people cash disincentivize work?
1/ This week the @workingfamilies.org launched the Working Families Guarantee: a bold agenda built on the conviction that in the wealthiest country in history, everyone should be able to afford the basics.
your annual tax season reminder that filing your taxes could be way easier and more affordable - if it weren't for corporations spending millions on lobbying to keep the system deliberately confusing. this is why we can't have nice things.
