Sometimes the way people phrase things is so telling. For instance, telling women they should be "taking care of" their husband and children. Another adult doesn't need taken care of like a child, what you want is for women to be a Sex Mom.

@elverkonge @RickiTarr I had a boyfriend I moved in with tell me I needed to get up at 3 am to make him breakfast. I laughed, heartedly, & said, “Put a toaster next to the bed with a pop tart in it & I’ll push the lever down when your alarm goes off” that’s the extent I’m making your breakfast at 3 am when you’re perfectly capable. 🙄🤦‍♀️ People have some audacity, man.

This is crazy. Even with 20% down, that’s still $4500 a month. And exclusive of property tax—around $1000 a month?—or any HOA fee. And insurance is becoming prohibitively expensive as a lot of the big players either pull out of California altogether or severely restrict what they’ll cover.

@paninid @Holberg It’s very bad. And our governor just stripped the homeless prevention program & CalWorks (financial assistance) programs. We also are criminalizing homelessness. Californians just voted through a terrible bill that allocates funding for homeless addicts & mentally ill, but it won’t help them in a way that will help & it will only exacerbate the homelessness of families that do need assistance. It’s extremely disgusting to witness.

@paninid @Holberg I have no issues at all with helping addicts & mentally ill homeless. My dad is one of them. I just know, from experience, that trying to force them into shelters is a waste of $ & ONLY helping them & refusing to help families (with children) that do want/need to be housed, is opposite of helpful. I’m a disabled single mom that just tried to get homeless prevention assistance & was told by all agencies that they can ONLY help addicts & mentally ill.

Why are we not enforcing the gag order?

Known liar Mike Johnson, Byron Donalds, Cory Mills, Doug Burgum & Vivek Ramaswamy hang around lower Manhattan to be trumps gag order gangsters.

Gag order prohibits trump from making comments about jurors / witnesses and also from causing others to make comments about the case, jury or court staff.

If, like roughly a hundred million Americans, you regularly consume fascist propaganda in the guise of cable “news” (fox, newsmax, & other propaganda outlets) online disinformation publications, and the platform formerly known as Twitter, it’s likely that at least some of that fascist propaganda is originating in Moscow.

Kremlin documents reveal Russian trolls are targeting U.S. support for Ukraine and engaging in a significant campaign to undermine U.S. elections and discourage voting.

Cigna - like all private health insurers - has two contradictory imperatives:

I. To keep its customers healthy; and

II. To make as much money for its shareholders as is possible.

I saw a post yesterday. It had 1 of the most ominous comments I’ve felt. Someone in the comments asked something along the lines of, what should we be investing in? And the reply was…
“Water. Buy all the potable water you can get your hands on.” That’s where we’re headed with all this blockchain, AI, water intensive data mining stuff. Asking them to figure out how to make more potable water before using it all up is too much?!!

I’m a disabled single mom looking for an affordable rental of any kind. It’s myself (52) & daughter (15). I can pay $800/mo. We’re currently in Ventura County, CA, but open to relocating. We’re super respectful, clean, quiet, responsible, & considerate. We are Covid vaccinated & still mask in public.

So, let’s recap… California Homeless Prevention is a scam. There is no program that helps people stay housed. The Temporary Housing Shelter for families excludes DISABLED people. The immediate housing assistance (whatever that is) is only for addicts & mentally ill. The forms require you to have been evicted for NON-payment. If you’re evicted for other reasons, no one knows what to do. The state is funding mentally ill homelessness & discarding responsible poor citizens! It’s unsustainable. 🤮😡

CA is really stupid. It’s dumping money into shelters that are abysmal & not a stepping stone to housing for people who want it. Many of those homeless don’t WANT to be housed, yet, that’s where they sink $$. Cause those are the homeless people complain about. But they take away programs that can help people that are trying desperately to be housed. My city only had a “safe parking” program for a few winter months. Now the only 1 in the county is exclusive to 1 town’s pop. Criminalized poverty 😡

I’m a disabled single mom looking to rent a room, guest house, mobile home, anything. I’m on SSI, so have constant income that’s very limited. We’re currently in SoCal though not afraid to relocate. We’re respectful, clean, quiet, conscientious of utility usage, just sick a lot. I found my previous rentals on Facebook through community, but haven’t been on that in years. This is my only socia now, so 🙏

@soc_i_ety @petergleick why do only working people deserve aid? That’ll just keep most of the homeless homeless & poor, poor. Disabled, elderly, stay at home parents, laid off, hurt on the job, veterans, mentally ill, striking, unemployed, racially profiled, fresh outta school, helping family… there are many reasons people can’t work, & they deserve help too.

Community members chanted “Classrooms, not courtrooms!,” “Homework, not handcuffs!” “Education, not incarceration!,” and “Free, free Timothy!” as a young resident emerged from Cameron County juvenile court.

All charges were dropped against 11-year-old Timothy Murray, the boy who, we previously reported, had been placed in confinement. @josephinelee brings us this update: https://www.texasobserver.org/judge-dismisses-charges-against-brownsville-isd-honor-student?utm_campaign=mastodon

He can trash talk illegal immigrants ‘til he’s white in the face, they’ll still see him as a poc & we all know how they feel about that.
