Mental health is a part, but how much mental illness *comes* from living on the street? We need more homes "20 percent of young adults who are in care become homeless the moment they’re emancipated at the age of 18. And nationwide, 50% of the homeless population spent time in foster care"

nfyi.org

Homelessness - NFYI

We’re supporting former foster youth who are mobilizing in their communities to fight for the 20 percent of youth who will leave foster care and immediately become homeless.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

“At a press conference, Espaillat said that he attempted to visit the shooting victim in the hospital, but was prevented from doing so by federal authorities. ‘I went to the hospital to see the victim,’ Espaillat said, ‘but we were not allowed by ICE agents to go in the room.’”

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”

Embarrassed, she initially didn’t want to report attack. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office's investigation is ongoing.

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

Election deniers want the Trump administration to use false claims that voting machines are compromised as justification to seize voting machines. They believe that the commerce secretary already has authority to do that — a view that legal experts say is way off base: demdock.com/4BaDLxl

Troy Jackson: We're losing $3 billion in healthcare. We're losing SNAP benefits. We're losing heating assistance. Susan Collins could have stopped that if she really cared. But she doesn't. She does whatever Trump wants. I can't understand how anyone in their right mind can actually defend that vote

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
