Not to be alarmist, but this is the most radical presidential action I've ever seen. He's straight up seizing Congress' budget power. What do laws matter if the mad king's whims dictate what gets enforced and where money goes? It's not a policy memo - it's a revolution. Don't let it be a quiet one.

Unfortunately it's this type of nimbyism that's the problem, not the unhoused. People complain about homeless people sleeping on the streets, and then complain when they're offered housing in their community they're already sleeping in. Smh 🙄 www.theorca.ca/commentary/r...

Criminalizing drug users has never worked. Prison is isn't about rehabilitation, it's about incarceration. This approach has led to a revolving door of prison, parole violations, and overdose. We can't keep doing the same things over and over expecting a different result www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Poilievre don't care about fentanyl. He tried to blame Dilaudid!!! He's just sucking up to Trump. This is an old strategy of appeasing strongmen. "Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last." www.thestar.com/politics/pie...

If the board makes Bluesky inhospitable to trans people by courting virulent transphobes like Jesse Singal, the quality of this place will nosedive. I don't want to be here if trans people (my trans friends, especially) aren't safe and don't want to be here. I will not pay for this.

Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...

this is part of why it's so harmful to use legal coercion to treat addiction... jail disrupts medical care, judges & cops often oppose the treatment that is most effective & there's not a single medical condition in which jail is the best place to get care.

I'm working on a piece for next week that's an update on mutual aid work in Asheville. When I interviewed volunteers, they emphasized that the recovery would take years and pleaded for people not to forget them when the news cycle moved on. I plan to keep following up.

1. Today, Governor DeWine has signed one of the most oppressive bathroom bans in the United States. The transgender bathroom ban applies to colleges and universities, including private colleges! It comes as the US has been gripped by Republican bathroom panic. Subscribe to support my journalism.
