Spoiler: They used the money just as wisely as anyone else would, and it's so frustrating that this still isn't a common sense assumption to make.

One man used some of the money to pay off debts and the remainder to furnish a new home, as he moved out of temporary accommodation.

A parent bought a car to be able to drop their children off at school and one participant has used the money to fund driving lessons and hopes to buy a car. Another young man also paid off debts and began researching courses to enable him to find work as a plumber.

One woman said that the money came just at the right time, as she was struggling with childcare costs. For a young person who wasn’t able to study at university because they couldn’t afford the fees, the money has given them hope to continue pursuing education.

Several participants gave money or bought gifts for relatives or friends. Three months after receiving the windfall, some people had not spent all of the money and put left-over cash in a bank account as savings.

So far, there have been no adverse outcomes for participants taking part in this trial.

Michael Sanders, professor of public policy at King’s College London, which is evaluating the trial, said: “Evidence from Canada suggests that when people experiencing homelessness get a cash sum they invest in themselves and in their future.

Gaza. A young boy carries his sister, both starving, trapped, homeless and fleeing from Israeli genocide. On the other side of a wall other kids play at swimming pools and eat fast food. This is what the UK/EU and US support.

A young boy, maybe 8 or 9, carries his sister, a toddler, on his shoulders on a dirt road. Both with desperate looks on their faces.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

A strange editorial that treats the new offensive as a misconceived, "unworkable" counterinsurgency strategy rather than what it demonstrably is: an ethnonationalist campaign of genocide which, within its own monstrous logic, may well be "workable". www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

A thing most USians don't know & really should before expressing any opinion on Iran: The 1953 coup that brought the Shah to power "was carried out under CIA direction as an act of US foreign policy, conceived & approved at the highest levels of govt." Iran still feels some kinda way about it. 🎁🔗

wapo.st

The U.S. helped oust Iran’s government in 1953. Here’s what happened.

The U.S. has not publicly called for regime change in the current Israel-Iran conflict, but over 70 years ago, it played a key role in ousting Tehran’s government.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

Our roads are too narrow for your behemoths, a third of houses don’t have off street parking, you don’t make compact cars anymore as you chased bigger profits, 18mpg with £6 per gallon in the UK not £2.50, and also Europeans are notoriously picky about brands.

Any time the perpetrator of a terrorist attack has a social media profile that says very directly that they’re a far right accelerationist, the headline is like “BAFFLED COPS PONDER THE RIDDLE OF SUSPECT’S MOTIVATION”

German Officials Search for Motive in Christmas Market Attack
At least five people were killed and more than 200 others injured after a driver rammed an SUV into a crowded Christmas market in eastern Germany.

The doctor had an active social media presence that included postings criticizing Germany for what he called the authorities' tolerance of radical Islam, German news media reported. A security official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said that those reports were accurate.

In his social media, the man also expressed support for the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party and reposted comments by party leaders warning of the threat of Islamic law being imposed in Germany.
