“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

That white Marine who fatally strangled a homeless black man on the subway got invited to Trump’s suite at a football game and got a job at a vc firm. They’ve definitely told us what it is.

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

Since I’m a housing and homelessness guy I feel like I need to remind everyone that these tariffs are likely to have a cataclysmic effect on housing affordability and homelessness.

Transphobes be like, I accept that you do something that harms no one but I find annoying, why can’t you accept that I hate trans people & hope they cease to exist?! Why are you so one sided?!

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

If you are in line to be murdered by Jason Morgan, STAY IN LINE. #gh

Incredible to think how hard Merrick Garland worked for four years to avoid even the remotest appearance of partisanship or ideological commitments, and literally on her first day as AG Pam Bondi is like "Diversity is now illegal, we will be putting all the libs in prison"

the mystification is important point. the mythical "unqualified black person" who took a job or a spot at an elite college exists in the cultural landscape as a literal scapegoat for a sense a personal inadequacy or anxieties about status. it's not that you're not good enough, it's the blacks.

Coming back here because the queer romance I'm currently reading just pulled this crap. Picture this: They're in the middle of a full blown mob war and these two geniuses LEAVE the safe and secure location they're in to rendezvous at a freaking hotel. Guess how that turned out for them.

nobody loves dairy more than lactose intolerant people

You ain't gotta put my business all on the Skyline like that 😂😂😂

People are about to learn just how many programs, departments, events, roles, etc for Black and brown folks were federally funded (and in some cases federally protected). All the Black ppl who always ask "what have the dems even done for us" are about to get the most dramatic answer possible.

Trump's attempt to nullify the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship provision is an attempt to reverse one of the most important outcomes of the Civil War, the idea that American citizenship is not based on race www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump's freezing of all civil rights cases at the DOJ is not part of an anti-DEI agenda, but an anti-civil rights agenda. DOJ was *founded* to protect Black rights during Reconstruction. That this difference is unclear speaks to the success of conservative propagandists and the failures of liberals.

So, just to be clear: rescinding a 60-year-old executive order prohibiting discrimination in federal hiring and federal contracting is not ant-DEI, it is anti-civil rights. Efforts to subvert the 1964 Civil Rights Act are likely next,if you read what conservatives have said.And that's the beginning.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Oath Keepers' Rhodes, convicted of sedition for Jan. 6 attack, visits Capitol Hill after clemency and meets lawmakers.

Y'all ain't tell me this Lisa Frank docuseries was like this. I have clutched every pearl multiple times and I am only on episode 3

Whew. One thing that will promptly make me DNF a book or stop rooting for the HEA in a romance is when a character does something so unfathomably stupid it's completely unjustifiable, ESPECIALLY if it puts other people at risk. At that point I 1000% start rooting for their downfall.

When all your holds on Libby come through on the same day

It should go without saying at this point, but be careful what you post on social media, especially if you live somewhere like Florida.

It’s impossible to choose. I do have a favorite tweet *about* Luther though-

I'm late to the party but I am watching this Luther doc and seeing what a *performer* he was. "We do not play with your ticket money" IKTR! People who got to see him live were so lucky

Like are yall SEEING THIS????

Running back Nip/Tuck because I haven't watched in awhile and all my faves are problematic

Lads, Lassies, Ladles and Gellyspoons, it is Sunday the 22nd of December and it’s time to face one simple truth; either Star Trek got this date slightly wrong, or we are about to have the most epic nine days in Irish history. #SpéirGhorm #Treksky

"What are your salary expectations?" My expectation is that the salary will be listed in the job posting.

Oh, they were not playing with him at all

Do younger folks understand that simply being gay used to be go-to-prison illegal? The gay man who broke the Germans' cypher in WWII was chemically castrated and driven to suicide for nothing but being gay They are not going to stop with trans people, if that was what anyone was thinking

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

*Texas doctor & professor points out on tiktok that patients are not legally required to answer citizenship question in order to receive care *Abbott threatens funding of hospital and university *Video is removed These overt threats by politicians to stifle speech becoming all too common.

Cancelling $4T in taxes for 815 billionaires but not $1.7T in student debt for 40M Americans is the modern version of let them eat cake.

The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn anyone who might need to know.

The FL Department of Corrections is attempting to "reverse" the gender identity of transgender people in its custody, referring to trans identities as "short-term delusions" and withholding hormone therapy. Reviving psychiatric theories of the 1950s, they blame trans identities on "childhood trauma"

Ay! Leave this nightmare fuel over there on the bad place. We absolutely will not be doing this to our nice, wholesome skyline 😭😭😭

The vibe I bring to the party

@alyssamerc.bsky.social returns to Rolling Stone with a fantastic interview with Compulsion Games, developers of Xbox's 'South of Midnight,' about how they crafted a world that's true to the game's Deep South folklore and the Black culture that's at its core. www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

“Let me just bump the ends”

About to be looking like James Brown 😭😭😭

Stares in lynching of Black people as picnic entertainment.
