I'm going to tell you a true story. And when I'm done, you'll never look at homeless people the same way again. Several years ago, when I was still working at a legal aid clinic, a partner organization asked us to take the case of a quintessential little old lady. She was in her 80s, and homeless.

This is $9-18 million that assists 8,646 Alaskans households to stay warm. The average benefit is $751 total. That's 8646 colder households next year. That's children going to bed cold. That's elders shivering under layers of blankets. That will result in deaths. #akleg

The US government just admitted to a federal court that it deported a father by mistake. It sent him to an el Salvadoran torture chamber and separated him from his US citizen family. Several DOJ lawyers have just now argued that the courts lack power to bring him home.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Inevitably what'll happen, soon, is video will appear of masked plainclothes white men yanking a woman off the street into a van, and then ICE or CBP will go "no, actually that wasn't us" And no one will be able to figure out whether they're lying, or ever see her again.

The lady of the lake just threw a butter knife at me and inscribed upon the blade were these words: “If someone posts a good image without alt text, you can repost it without crediting them if you add it. It’s not a crime and is in fact a morally pure act.” (Didn’t photograph well, font too small)
