“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 to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
If this man had murdered eight strangers the story would lead every news outlet. But because they are his children, it's "family violence," "domestic violence" -- undeserving of the same attention. Even though this violence is much more common

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken.
“I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold.
The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

Jesse Jackson and Marvin Gaye playing one-on-one.
ICE must be dismantled, Senator, and its agents must be held accountable for their crimes.
History will ask: why did no one send armies to liberate Palestine?
It's complicated isn't an answer.
Lady Liberty—an enduring symbol of refuge and justice—grapples with an ICE agent. She pulls a Ku Klux Klan hood off his head, revealing his true face to the world. In her other hand, she holds a document marked "Secret Police" with a slash through it, alongside the initials HRS—the Hawai‘i Revised Statutes. In his hands, a sidearm and a baton. At his feet, a child cowers under the gaze of his drawn gun. Behind them, the Hawai‘i State Capitol takes up the background. The hood is not a metaphor. It is a direct statement of fact. ICE is the Klan with a federal budget.
"ICE Breaker"
They said "law and order." They meant "hoods and handcuffs." My new #cartoon pulls back the mask on America's secret police, and its white supremacist lineage.

@schatz.bsky.social Schatz himself, alongside some GOP opponents of the legislation, has accepted significant campaign contributions from interest groups seeking to stop the bill from becoming law.
@schatz.bsky.social Schatz’s wife runs a real estate consulting firm, Schatz Collaborative, that currently works with large property investors who could be hurt by the bill.
@schatz.bsky.social(D-HI) was the lone Democrat to vote against the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which would prevent investors from buying up large quantities of single-family or duplex homes to turn into rentals. @willcaron.bsky.social

Somewhere beyond the moon, the Artemis II crew has just encountered something they did not expect. Not aliens. Not a rogue planet. Not even the vast, crushing silence of deep space. A black hole. And floating next to it, lit up like a highway billboard in the void, a sign that reads: "Hawaiʻi State House Records Disposal Only." The crew radios back to Houston, incredulous. "Uhh... Houston, you are not going to believe what we are seeing out here." They have traveled farther from Earth than any humans in half a century, and what do they find? The same black hole of government transparency they left behind.

NASA's Artemis II found a black hole out beyond the moon. Turns out the Hawaiʻi House of Representatives got there first.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
Super Typhoon Sinlaku is now peaking at Category 5 strength and is likely to make landfall on Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands in about 36 hours.
The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is a US territory. They're going to need all the help they can get after this storm.

Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010
My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.
100% concurr with KC. I'll add that not a single voter currently knows what Democrats will do should they win the House or Senate. Not one thing and we're halfway into April. Not a single thing outlined. Nothing for voters to rally FOR.
