State Department issues unusual worldwide LGBTQ+ travel alert - Folks, things are getting worse everywhere as reactionary #Conservatives, often #evangelicals turn back the clock on diversity, equity and inclusion. In their rush to condemn all who are not like them, the devout and pious are sowing hatred and violence. Proving once again that religion and right-wing politics are a bane to progress and social justice. They’re just not having it. #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #Travel https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/17/state-department-worldwide-caution-alert-lgbtq-00158753

This is precisely why rejuvenating the state hospital system and lowering the bar for involuntary commitment (with safeguards) is essential to battling rough-sleeping homelessness. “After brief housing, man's drug use results in him back on Portland streets” - See, the thing is a percentage of the unhoused are in serious drug addiction or mental health crises. These folks deserve better, namely housing and treatment in state facilities that are built and staffed to accommodate their needs. City shelters are never going to serve this population adequately, just not gonna happen. #Homeless #Homelessness #Addiction #MentalIllness https://katu.com/news/city-in-crisis/after-brief-housing-kevin-hays-drug-use-results-with-him-back-on-portland-streets-clinton-triangle-tiny-homes-transitional-housing-portland-city-commissioner-rene-gonzalez

More Americans are falling behind on credit card bills - "Everything is more expensive. Debt is more expensive. Rent is more expensive. Food, gas, everything," says Charlie Wise, senior vice president at TransUnion, the credit reporting firm. "Even with relatively healthy wage gains we've seen over last several years, many consumers just aren't keeping up with the price pressures." https://www.npr.org/2024/05/14/1251295805/credit-cards-debt-inflation

28 year old Thai activist, in prison for ‘insulting the monarchy’, dies after hunger strike. Lese Majeste laws are so ridiculous. To let an intelligent young woman die like this is a black mark on #Thailand and should weigh heavily on all tourists planning a visit to the country. #LeseMajeste #Tourism #SEAsia #Siam
