There have been efforts to #criminalise people who live on the streets in the #UnitedStates.
Supreme Court judges are due to rule on whether a law that essentially makes being #homeless a crime, is #constitutional.
The ruling could affect the lives of more than half a million people.
Al Jazeera’s Rob Reynolds reports from #LosAngeles.
The idea that if someone that is old and no longer wants to live while suffering from depression, pain or suffering from challenging ill health should have to deliberately fall in the hope of finishing their life and suffering, rather than doing so with support and generosity, perhaps in the presence of loved ones is #Inhumane. #VoluntaryAssistedDying
In #Washington state, #JapaneseAmericans are joining #ImmigrantRights activists demanding the closure of an immigration detention center in #Tacoma run by private firm #GEOGroup. The Northwest Detention Center has been the site of several #HungerStrikes over the years due to #inhumane conditions. State inspectors were recently denied entry to the Immigration & Customs Enforcement facility. On Friday, groups blocked #Seattle’s federal building as part of their action.
"Under the law, which dates to 1901, if a tenant’s rent is a day overdue, they forfeit their right to be in the property. If they don’t leave their homes within 10 days of getting a notice from their landlords, they can be charged with a misdemeanor and fined for each day they overstay." #inhumane#criminal#wealth#property#homeless#prison#housing#inequality
Woman who sued #Texas for #abortion left state to have procedure after ‘hellish’ week >

If you got upset when #Ukrainian ambulances & #evacuation convoys were bombed, mercilessly shot at & lack same feelings towards terrified #Palestinians trying to flee or get medical help - you are a living piece of ignorant, hypocrite scum & you should block me because I'm unkind to #inhumane scum of any stripes.
📆 December 22, 2023 “NASA and its contractors still face multiple challenges with development”, the #GAO found in a recent audit of the #Artemis mission. As a result, takeoff 🚀 “is unlikely to occur in 2025.” The GAO’s auditors project a launch date in early 📆 2027.
Various complications can thwart on-time air travel from one city to the next, but that’s nothing compared with moving a crew of people 238,855 miles away to an #inhumane environment.
In 📆 August 2021, #NASA’s Office of Inspector General documented #spacesuit development delays https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/22/nasa-artemis-moon-delay-gao-report/
