“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.

Charlie Kirk died in the America he wanted
I mourn the loss of human life. I feel compassion, empathy and grief at an inexcusable killing. But I find nothing to lionise in his legacy.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

1. We have normalized having a toddler in the White House who uses random " marks ("HOTTEST"?). How is any of the below normal? How are we okay with this?
2. We have a president who doesn't want us to cover, in our museums "how bad Slavery was". Was it not bad? Imagine if Reagan had said this? FFS

And we report on how the US is “disgusted” at our government’s proposed recognition of Palestine.
I think we no longer need to give a …canard what the US thinks.
The U.S. just froze all visitor visas for Gaza.

Laura Loomer is openly calling for the deportation of Palestinians who survived Israel’s genocide—many needing medical care after being maimed by U.S.-made bombs.

And fascists like her are cheering on ethnic cleansing as policy.

Might be time to start actually reporting him as acting as an authoritarian dictator rather than meekly pretending a democracy still exists

Australia's decision to recognise Palestine is not just symbolic
It is easy to reduce an assessment of teh recognition of Palestine to claims that it is nothing more than symbolic, or that it will have little practical impact on the ground.

New polling by @australiainstitute.org.au has found that 66% of Australians support a parliamentary inquiry into Aukus. A previous poll found 57% support.

In a healthy democracy, scrutiny of a deal the size and scope of Aukus should be welcomed.
