“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.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

i am simply of the belief that letting Republicans repeat over and over again that science is not on the side of trans people without answering them in kind is bad.

hi, cis folks!
the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor.
if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi 🧵

I wish enough people understood that RFK is evil the way Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy were evil. He doesn’t care about making anyone healthy; he views human beings like the mice and baby chicks he delighted in throwing into a blender alive. A true psychopath.
RFK Jr. is a monster. Despicable and abominable doesn’t begin to cover it. It almost defies belief that the media has let him skate on everything he’s done. Almost.

I’m getting a lot of messages about the rule change over private insurances and EHBs.
My understanding of the rule is that it is NOT a national trans care ban or anything like that.
It will allow private insurance to deny care.
Probably will have biggest impacts in red states with no state reqs.
