You know why Finland housed their homeless? Because it's cheaper - saving Finland about $14K per person per year in crime, addiction, mental health, and emergency housing services. In Canada/UK/US, we mostly rely on raising police budgets instead & still watch those problems rising exponentially.

my favorite Bible story is the one where Jesus has all the homeless people rounded up and arrested, and then he and Sam Alito go jetting off on Leonard Leo's private plane for a luxury fishing vacation

I got a new organic oatmeal in yesterday's Instacart shop. This morning I wanted to try it and read the instructions. "Add breast milk for desired thickness."

It’s important to see the fall of the Chevron doctrine for what it is: a power grab by corporate interests, allowing them to shop for judges who will strip agencies of their power to protect the public. What happened to the belief that SCOTUS had no role in legislating?

It cracks me up when I tell online friends that I live in Boston and they respond with "It's so racist there!". There's nowhere in the US where racism isn't present. Wherever there are white people, there is racism. It just a matter of what flavor or racism you end up dealing with.

A lot of things that Biden wants to do are things I think are good things we should do. A lot of things Trump wants to do are things I think are bad things we shouldn't do. Therefore I will be supporting Biden even though I don't agree with him on everything. This is not complicated.

Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded

It's hard to explain how widespread the repercussions of overturning Chevron deference will be. Even if you narrow the scope down to tech policy, you're left wrangling a super-explainer on a friday afternoon www.theverge.com/24188365/che...

Big chunks of Texas were under heat warnings this past week — with heat indexes hitting 115°F. Reminder that Texas Gov. Abbott signed legislation that prohibits cities from mandating employers to provide workers with rest and water breaks. This is the GOP's vision for America.

Shein and Temu are cutting into Amazon’s business, so now the ecommerce giant is planning to respond with a discount section of its own. 
It’s another stage in retail’s race to the bottom on labor abuses and environmental harm — and it needs to be stopped before it’s too late.

Indeed. If he were a beat poet, I might applaud the effort. As it stands, I find THIS motherfucker far less mentally fit than the doddering old man with the paper thin skin and shaky voice who managed to actually answer every debate question cogently if you actually listened to what he was saying.

Did you know? When SCOTUS said in 1937 that the Social Security Act was unconstitutional, President Roosevelt didn’t ask people to vote harder in the next election, he told the Supreme Court he’d add more justices until they backed off, which they did. — We can still do that.
