I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

Elon Musk's "peace plan" is the worst thing I've ever seen. Russia just gets to conquer part of Europe and Ukraine has to pay the U.S. for the luxury of losing sovereign territory.

One month ago Seattle cleared the sidewalks of tents. Now they are back and worse than ever. Encampment sweeps are literally worse than doing nothing. komonews.com/news/project...

So what I get from this is that moving people from encampments to shelter doesn't work worth shit, which should be a surprise to no one as most came from shelter in the first place. Needs to be from encampments to supportive, private housing. sfstandard.com/2025/02/08/g...

This one of the most naive op-eds I've ever seen in the Record. The author fails to recognize that this is all part of the Cambridge mayor's advocacy to abuse the constitution by pre-emptively circumventimg judicial review of anti-encampment laws. www.therecord.com/opinion/colu...

By confirming RFK Jr and starting to cancel science funding, the U.S. is rapidly relinquishing its position as a global leader on health technologies. This means that the same day Russia is handed a victory, so is China.

Ontario is about to have a provincial election. When they came to power with a majority, Doug Ford's Conservative government cut annual contributions to affordable housing by $250M in response to increased federal dollars. This month, vote to end homelessness by voting NDP (or strategically).

Yesterday we opened the 2nd International Journal on Homelessness conference in Chile. It's a difficult time to have these conversations as we see a retraction of human rights in many countries, a rise of right-wing narratives for incarceration over care, and an absence of sufficient funding.
