Via @sandiegouniontribune.com: "Requests for shelter have risen significantly in (San Diego) since local officials got permission to clear encampments on state land. Yet a lack of spots in the region’s overwhelmed shelter system means almost all of those pleas — about 93% — recently failed."
Shelter requests surged after San Diego began clearing freeway camps. Almost all failed.
A lack of spots means only 7% of pleas for a bed recently succeeded. ‘I can’t get in.’

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.
Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

It's too easy to be distracted by the economic story of the day. The more important story is of our system fraying: The rule of law is decaying, Bribery spreading, crony capitalism normalized. It won’t show up in next quarter’s data, but when our kids try to build their lives.

Trump Ain’t the First U.S. President to Be Accused of Pedophilia.
The long history of sexual exploitation of children shows why this country has never genuinely cared about protecting kids over powerful white men.
