I was waiting to hear from a trusted representative of the tall community, feels like I can finally exhale

FWIW I agree w you that’s a real issue (one car households/relationships and managing conflict or separation) - I have used Evie in this context.

Obviously horrible & more of Stephen Miller’s evil but I remember more than a few local urban Dems humming a few bars of this the last time crime surged. Included a few Strib letter-writer frequent fliers. Had to unfollow more than a few on Twitter.

Scoop: At a secret meeting this summer, an aide to Stephen Miller laid out Trump administration's plan to make it easier for states to round up and institutionalize mentally ill homeless people — by pushing a drastic policy change that would weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans.

How Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rights

After issuing a memo making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the Justice Department began abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in the community.

Carter was not exactly vigorous in his exercise of the Ward 1 council office… as a former st paulite his non campaign doesn’t surprise me. I was once in a community parade in ward 1 where I saw him basically solo it… like bro you can’t mobilize 6 people for a parade?

Current management of Medicare is so broken. My son is disabled so he is on it. My wife is his rep payee + does everything right, by the book. Due to backlogs + random miscalculations, they have inappropriately declared missed deadlines, penalties, halted reimbursements. Our records are thorough 1/2

Did you note any page references? I haven’t looked at the doc yet Axel Henry was one of the top cops at the press conference Jan 20 where they claimed that racist and abusive ICE behavior was the product of a few rogue agents, certainly not from chain of command. So that tracks

Campus rape is not just about the 7 men in the civil suit, it’s not even just about the 57 men in the Chi Pi group chat. It’s an entire culture and system that enables men to enact power over women and get away with it. I want Jane Doe to receive justice but I also want to see cultural change.

IMO we needed a government mandate that corporations grant their workers the “wfh savings” as a voucher that you can use to join a co-working/office space that is local, and peopled by your friends/folks you want to be around. We can have worker power and community. But one of many missed policies

People who “break the law” should get Holiday Inn-level housing! Everybody should! A Holiday Inn is fine, it’s not that nice. (btw everybody breaks laws) Being cruel to people who have done harm to others does not repair that harm, and it likely increases risk that they’ll harm again.
