The #1 thing I've learned talking to ppl who subscribe to this kind of legislation is that they truly believe that the homeless do not want to be helped, and are incapable of improving their material conditions. Basically, they give up before ever trying anything that WE ALL KNOW WORKS.

How Tea’s Founder Convinced Millions of Women to Spill Their Secrets, Then Exposed Them to the World A 404 Media investigation reveals how the man who started Tea, the β€˜women dating safety’ app, tried to hire a female β€˜face’ for the company and then hijack her grassroots community.

New: the inside story of how Tea collected millions of women's secrets, then exposed them to the world. We've found Tea raided women safety groups to get users; paid influencers to undermine others, much more.

The β€œmotive is money, not actually to protect people.” www.404media.co/how-teas-fou...

Every once in a while I miss being an active designer in a community where we critique the shit out of a rebrand. Holy hell this is bad. Kerning that makes it look like a feminist mag, the flag shape, lines in the tagline that read like navigation. This is supposed to look like a source we trust?

Texas Cops: We Wrongly Tried to Get a Woman Charged With Murder For an Abortion, and We’d Do It Again Generally speaking, it is not a great sign when when cops admit things like β€œI don't know what the law states right now” under oath.

New: Lizelle Gonzalez is suing officials who wrongly charged her with murder for an abortionβ€”and depositions with investigators show that, if given the chance, they would handle future cases the same way

Police and sheriffs have so much power to ruin people’s lives by manipulating the legal process

Federal agent during violent DC arrest: β€œLiberals already ruined” this country Trump's thugs are proving their skull-bashing loyalty in broad daylight.

New β€” I wrote about the violent assault on a DC delivery worker this morning by masked federal agents, and how these agents have made the disturbing turn from quiet thugs to playing for the cameras.

Immigration is good, actually. Cities are good, and if you don't like them you don't have to live in them.

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.

This seems kinda significant.

Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working β€” and created a black hole of information whose…

In agency after agency, the U.S. government is losing its capacity to measure how American society is functioning, making it much harder to gauge the nature and scale of the problems we are facing and the effectiveness of policies.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

β€œDelete your old emails to save water” isn’t bad because it’s individualising the climate crisis, it’s bad because it’s complete nonsense from top to bottom. It’s like saying β€œeat less lettuce to save water”, you can see the thought process but it’s that of a child who knows two facts

A few years ago we went to a family law firm in SF and said β€œwe want every document that will give our family the same rights a monogamous couple would have” and their reply was roughly β€œwe’ve been doing gay marriage equivalency since the 80s, we’ve got this”

News article from The Guardian saying Israel has another war in Gaza over Narrative.

News article from The Guardian saying Israel has another war in Gaza over Narrative.

Israel has no "Gaza War" - not for Gaza, nor for narrative. Israel massacres Palestine as its fascist genocidal solution to the Nakba's echoes, and massacres the truth with US/EU support.

Journalists, aid workers, infants, educators, athletes, poets, artists - they're obstacles to extermination.
