Something to be thankful for!

Utah's largest coal-fired power plant—the Intermountain Power Project, located in the west desert near Delta and serving southern California—stopped burning coal at mid-day on Wednesday, just in time for Thanksgiving. 🔌💡

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Atlanta’s Mayor Dickens declares himself to be in the Newsom wing of Dem Party supporting physical expulsion of homeless folks.

It’s a (not) proud tradition in Atlanta, where homeless folks were put on buses to get them out of town before 96 Olympics.

And he’ll get lots of support for this take.
“We want to make sure those unsheltered individuals don’t come anywhere downtown, and throughout the city of Atlanta, not just during the World Cup, but now"
-- Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens

Sounds a little harsh, man.

"The drones won't just be eyes in the sky. They will be able to communicate with homeless people. The department said this will prevent officers from exposing themselves to potential risk, such as loose animals, terrain issues and other hazards until they are sure it is safe to move in."

This fascinating new research overturns longstanding assumptions. It finds that lower-income groups are more concerned about the environment and prefer environmental protection over economic growth, compared to higher-income groups. Data from the USA.

Homelessness is an incredibly complex issue. But there are some relatively straightforward, bipartisan areas of agreement. WE should both increase housing supply and decrease the suffering of the unhoused. #utleg @deseret.com.web.brid.gy @naehomelessness.bsky.social www.deseret.com/opinion/2025...
Opinion: Criminalizing compassion — rethinking laws for housing and homelessness
Utah needs a compassionate approach to homelessness. We can start by increasing affordable housing and ensuring that Good Samaritans can live up to their best selves.
