Super typhoon threatens the Philippines, still reeling from recent storm that killed more than 200 - World News
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Super Typhoon Fung-wong, the biggest storm to threaten the Philippines this year, started battering the country's northeastern coast ahead of landfall on Sunday, knocking down power, forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of people and prompting the defense chief to warn millions to evacuate to safety from high-risk villages before it's too late.

Eric makes a point that really can’t be overemphasized: policing is an unethical and ineffective response to homelessness

police aren’t homes

I am so willing to pay a bit more tax for youth bus passes and bike & roll infrastructure. However, I am concerned that the police budget seems to keep taking a bigger and bigger slice of the pie. More police and bylaw officers is not an effective or ethical response to homelessness. #yyj
