the latest story I heard that's actually indicative of what your average person with psychosis faces is this. 24-year-old with schizophrenia was stable, thriving until he apparently encountered bad symptoms, and died horribly for it. and then everybody ridiculed his death, including the US president

Schools all across the country have had to step up as the front line for addressing housing insecurity and homelessness because the effects of both are disastrous for kids and there's little help coming from else. When I was doing research on homelessness, so much pointed to kids and schools

Slavery was and is a real thing that has brutalized hundreds of millions of people over the course of human history, if someone tells me a fucking chatbot is enslaved I'm immediately throwing hands. It's not cute, it's not intriguing, it's an insult to real people who suffered and suffer now.

A girl won the role of Seymour in South Grand Prairie High School in Texas. Then, the district freaked out because of Texas' anti-trans and anti-gay law. So they tried to strip her role and give it to a boy. She refused, so now they are cancelling the play. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In addition to the broader literacy crisis, we're also in a power literacy crisis. Many folks deeply misunderstand how political power works, who has it, and how to build it. And all of that is happening while more folks are using the language of organizing without grasping its most basic tenets.

The inverted heads of the king and queen of France form the pendants of these ghoulish earrings while the central guillotine section is suspended from a cap of liberty.

Reading pro-Israel media outlets can be genuinely very interesting— here is a long and almost unintelligible rant from the EIC of Jewish News Syndicate about how Obama is the reason the Democratic Party is so anti Israel now and Schumer is an antisemite for backing El Sayed and so on and so forth
jns.org
The Democrats have abandoned Israel, not just Netanyahu
The prime minister is blamed for “losing” America. But even his defeat won’t reclaim support from a party that from Obama to El-Sayed has broken with the Jewish state.

The ICE officer who faces charges for road raging in Minneapolis (pulling a gun on a random motorist who blocked him from driving his unmarked SUV on the shoulder) broke into tears on the stand and said he was under a lot of stress, ok?
Morgan, who was abruptly called up to the Twin Cities from Washington, D.C., said he did not want to join the surge because he was unfamiliar with the area and had heard reports of animosity toward immigration officers.

“I’m not used to that, I’ve never seen something like that in policing,” he said.

The agent broke down in tears while testifying about feeling unsafe and overwhelmed during Operation Metro Surge, describing the atmosphere as a “riot” where he faced relentless harassment, racial slurs and threats of death.

Through a shaky voice, Morgan described the toll his brief deployment took on him and his family.

“I’ve never experienced something like this before,” he said. “I had to take my daughter out of school… because I did the job I’m supposed to do.”

Morgan’s second-degree assault charges stem from a Feb. 5 incident during the surge, when state prosecutors say he illegally drove an unmarked SUV on a Minneapolis freeway shoulder before pointing a firearm at the occupants of a white Cadillac that repeatedly swerved to block him.
