“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 into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Trump is creating a police state, killing our research science infrastructure, trying to kick millions off Medicaid, ending programs that deal with the climate crisis, and you’re threatening the Democratic Party?
