In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."
The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.

When Families Need Housing, Georgia Will Pay for Foster Care Rather Than Provide Assistance
In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be chea...

I can only imagine the apoplectic reaction here stateside if Mexico tried to retake Texas and some UK politician said “Oh, another country, just let them have it”.

Drinks infused with cannabis' buzzy compound THC are wildly popular and available in many states. But a year from now, the hemp-based products could be banned under a newly approved federal law.

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts?
Guess what? #WeAintBuyingIt Nov 27–Dec 1, instead we are putting our money where are values are.

What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Sympathy for Erika Kirk or Usha Vance or Melania Trump or Nancy Mace (there’s an article going around about how she “needs help”) is just misogyny dressed up as concern.
They've openly talked about how she opened the FedSoc doors for him and how she is the driving force behind his politics and ambition. She's not a victim, she's actively a part of this. I hate the infantilization of her.
