The fastest-growing homeless population in America? School-age children.
Last year, student homelessness in California—where rents continue to soar past wages—rose by 20,000, reaching its highest level in a decade.
But sure, keep insisting homelessness is all about mental illness and addiction.

Press needs to stop repeating govt euphemism of “clearing homeless camps.” I’ve witnessed it in other cities: massive destruction of personal property. Not just bedrolls & tents; family photos, Bibles, meds. Times I’ve seen it people weren’t even given option to move their things.

It also shows how the status quo was untenable. We cannot have a class of people in this country who are superexploitable by their bosses and the state like this. We need a modern Edict of Caracalla yesterday.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

the ICE defendants will be entitled to conviction only upon the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court

“Abolish ICE” is the technocratic centrist position. “Give ICE officers fair trials” is a better one.

Bove should be disbarred
Remember that Emil Bove made sure that the case against Eric Adams would be dropped so that Eric Adams would do something exactly like this.
Adams got his case dropped, and Bove got a judicial nomination. (www.lawdork.com/p/emil-bove-...)
Adams must be voted out, and Bove cannot be confirmed.

To Whom it May Concern,
As the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, I regularly receive requests for
information, clarification, and official comment. I regard such inquiries with the seriousness they
warrant and respond appropriately through formal correspondence, such as this letter.
It has come to my attention that Wikipedia, which operates via its fiscal sponsor, the Wikimedia
Foundation, Inc., is engaging in a series of activities that could violate its obligations under
Section 501(c)(3) of Title 26 of the United States Code. As a nonprofit corporation, which is
incorporated in the District of Columbia, the Wikimedia Foundation is subject to specific legal
obligations and fiduciary duties consistent with its tax-exempt status. In addition, the public is
entitled to rely on a reasonable expectation of neutrality, transparency, and accountability in its
operations and publications.
In its 2023 IRS Form 990, the Wikimedia Foundation describes its mission as, “empower[ing]
and engag[ing] people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free
license or in the public domain and to disseminate it effectively and globally. . . [.]”
As you know, Section 501(c)(3) requires that organizations receiving tax-exempt status operate
exclusively for “religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational
purposes. . . [.]” It has come to my attention that the Wikimedia Foundation, through its wholly
owned subsidiary Wikipedia, is allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d52g57qhdyydkmwtuueco57q/bafkreihhp6g5zmurxfppfewzghbtoq53pwkxgjs4tmknvts3fz2jtxntsi@jpeg)
