“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.

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world
if i ever teach a class on argumentative writing i am going to use these paragraphs as an example of how to NOT write persuasively for an audience.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

What a headline. Says it all. Opportunistic ghouls.
"Elon Musk has been appointed the lead of President Donald Trump’s newly established Department of Government Efficiency to cut spending and red tap, while also modernising public sector technology to maximise productivity."

Watching S3 of The Newsreader and it reminds that 1989 was an absolutely momentous year; even at the time it seemed huge. Exxon Valdez, Tiananmen Square, the Berlin Wall. Horror and promise.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

This chart crushes me. There are more than five times as many billionaires as there were in 2000, and the average net worth per billionaire has nearly tripled, from $1.9bn to a staggering $5.1bn. They're fleecing us, undermining democracy, and burning the world - TAX THE RICH.

How do you face fascism? I like Orwell's version: ground yourself in direct and immediate experience, trust your senses, find some joy, turn back to face the fascists and tell truths to combat the lies.
