Thank you, @naehomelessness.bsky.social
Quote from Ann Oliva, CEO of National Alliance to End Homelessness. "t is inconceivable that any journalist would still be employed after calling on one of the most vulnerable groups of people in this country to be killed en masse. FOX News has a responsibility to accurately cover the forces that drive the homelessness crisis and directly impact their viewers’ communities: an out of control housing market, an abandoned commitment to addressing affordability, an insufficient social safety net, and a threadbare infrastructure for the nation’s healthcare needs — including funding for mental health services. Meanwhile, providers across this nation work tirelessly to rehouse people every day, with little recognition by the media. The ongoing failure to accurately address these issues only ensures more division, fear, and misinformation about homelessness at a time when we must come together on the known solutions."

The Human Route
Life is like a floating cloud which appears. Death is like a floating cloud which disappears. The floating cloud itself originally does not exist. Life and death, coming and going, are also like that. But there is one thing which always remains clear. It is pure and clear, not depending on life and death. Then what is the one pure and clear thing?

Read this today in one sitting, highly recommend. Grim creatures, war and power, a richly drawn protagonist, forest visions, great writing. @premthakker.bsky.social
