"A recent study by the Economic Innovation Group found that 80% of American counties, with a combined population of 149 million, saw a decline in their number of prime working-age adults from 2007 to 2017." https://t.co/Nl0Dp7Fkfi

I am chilled to the bone by the idea that any Jewish person of conscience could applaud Trump saying “Our country’s full, you can’t come in,” much less cheering raucously. Not long ago, it was we who were turned away from these shores by such prejudiced sentiments. For shame.

"They see ample evidence of a country that is not remotely “full” — but one where an aging population & declining birthrates among the native-born population are creating underpopulated cities & towns, vacant housing and troubled public finances" https://t.co/uoXZgqZ3uV

Only about 3 percent of the country’s land is urbanized….. Nationwide, the United States has less than one-third of the population density of the European Union, and a quarter of the density of China. https://t.co/vPfvdK8lwL

In fact, there's no such thing as a full city, a full country. Pretending there is is disguising your politics as physics. https://t.co/nC6AnjcbPW
You know what I only just put together? "The country is full" as a statement to brown folks is basically the exact thing the DOJ sued Trump for in 1973, but now at a national scale. It's redlining. https://t.co/b5FFD4e96h
