“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps
Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so they could explain what they lost in their own words.

Homelessness surged over the past 4 years. The Biden Admin is blaming immigrants.

771,000 is fucking shameful. And it's almost certainly an undercount.
This is why I laughed about the "saving democracy" bullshit. There's nobody to vote for if you aren't evil.

Musk is the posterchild for capitalism in decay. The Robber Barons of last century had a certain "noblesse oblige" about them. You never saw John Rockefeller or JD Morgan bending over and showing their exposed asshole to the entire planet.
The funny thing is Labour, like the Democrats, are currently austerity neoliberals who write virtually every rule to benefit billionaires over the rest of society. But that isn't enough for these scumbags.
Reminder that Musk's entire fortune exists because he bilked the Federal and California governments out of billions of dollars.
In my opinion, he is our king. We live under Capitalism, a word that literally means "Rule by Capital". He is currently the individual human with the most Capital.
He's also a truly pathetic moron.

In the United States, less than 2,000 children over a 4 year period received gender affirming medication.

Right Wingers have spent the past 7 years crying and bitching and pissing themselves over trans kids. Making a political issue out of an issue that affects virtually no children is so fucking stupid. There are very real problems in this country. But addressing them might make your favorite billionaires slightly less rich. So you focus all of your energy on attacking a handful of children. Pathetic.

This one infuriated me when I first saw it. Seeing kids who were reasonably concerned about the climate in California of all places and telling them their concerns were utterly invalid was wild. These kids were already seeing wildfires and water shortages and heat waves back in the mid-2010's and they were aware of the climate science predicting things would get worse. Since then, those kids have had to contend the 2018, 2020, and 2021 wildfire seasons--the worst in twenty years--and have paid $3 billion annually in fighting wildfires (separate from damages--the Camp fire caused $16.5 billion in damages alone). Since then, those kids have lived through the first year of 1.5C above pre-industrial temperatures and watched insurers pull out of their state so even the ones who can have homes can't actually have stability. Since then, those kids have lived through multiple drought cycles while almond and pistachio farmers have taken as much as they could from the water table. Since then, those kids have seen hurricanes and fears of oceanic current collapses, 70% of global corals bleached, and the president-elect many of them voted against is saying "Drill, baby, drill".
Democrats as an institution don't care about winning nationally or making radical, necessary change. Feinstein was representative of that in every way. This particular video was particularly radicalizing for 21-year-old me as I realized that someone having a D by their name meant absolutely nothing about their care for the future. Neoliberalism as a philosophy is a bunch of taped-together knives hidden under a cloak of Good Feelings, using fancy language like "equality for all" to mean we are all equally free to kill each other for profit.
