Today, we honour generations of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples who have served with courage.
From the War of 1812 to Afghanistan, Indigenous veterans shaped Canada’s military history—yet many returned to discrimination.

Scores of journalists with access to the Pentagon handed in their press passes on Wednesday rather than sign on to new rules that sharply restrict access and raise the prospect of punishment for simply requesting information on matters of public interest. Here is what the new rules say.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

So Flint, Michigan gave $1,500 to all pregnant people, plus $500 each month for the first year of the child’s young life.
It saved Flint $6.2 million dollars a year, due to lower rates of rates of prematurity and low birth weight, with fewer corresponding admissions.
The right thing, AND cheaper.

Since HOMELESSNESS is suddenly in the news in America in a shockingly monstrous way, here’s a reminder in thread form that there ARE actually solutions that work, and aren’t completely unhinged and sociopathic. Please check out and share.
“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.
