”My days working for the City of San Antonio’s homeless outreach division were spent navigating the epicenter of converging crises—historical and structural racism, the War on Drugs, and late stage capitalism.”

Encampment sweeps in unhoused communities result in thousands of unnecessary deaths every year, a former City of San Antonio outreach worker writes. https://www.texasobserver.org/unhoused-community-sweeps-deadly/

There is no ‘change’ for Britain without a massive injection of cash. Why won’t our politicians admit it?

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jun/07/no-change-britain-without-injection-cash-politicians-admit-it-labour

There is a simple answer. Labour and the Conservatives rely on commercial support - not party members. Voters are just fodder.

Another very English perspective but I suppose I can forgive that - just be careful about using the British title in future.

"Why you were wrong to laugh at that viral video of a man driving with a suspended sentence"

Lots of reasons, including:

  1. His license should've been reinstated 2 years ago!
  2. The whole idea of revoking someone's driver's license for failure to pay debts is completely clown-shoes ridiculous.

A retired judge breaks down some more reasons, too.

Debt payments by countries most vulnerable to climate crisis soar

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/03/debt-payments-by-countries-most-vulnerable-to-climate-crisis-soar

There is nothin like kicking a country when it is down. Having stolen their resources, contributed the largest contribution to Global warming with its effects on lives, the environment and little things such as migration, Western vultures are still allowed to screw them further - before there is anything left.

🤢🤮

Two women in Mumbai are separated by only a few years in age and a 20-minute drive. Yet their starkly different lives spotlight India’s deepening wealth divide — and the inequality that has empowered some to reach new heights alongside the country’s fast-growing economy, while others are left behind. Take a look at this photo feature by CNN, which illustrates an India divided by prosperity and poverty amid a national election. https://flip.it/c8FMrd

GOP politicians have been legislating so-called "work requirements" for government benefits. They claim they put people back to work.

But anyone who's been paying attention knows the policies passed don't do that, and the politicians really have other motives:

  1. disenroll people (especially black women) from government benefits
  2. quid pro quo for campaign donations from the corporations the government pays to administer the programs

I'm a disabled multidisciplinary artist and full-time caretaker for my elderly mother.

We were unable to retain our home and now Mom, my ESA and I are living in a hotel. I am no longer able to do any work since I have no access to my PC, Guitar, Recording Equipment nor my art supplies.

Anas Sarwar of Labour in Scotland has become a millionaire of the back of his family company not paying its workers the Living Wage.

He's now severed his links to the firm but has transferred nearly £5m worth of shares into a trust fund for his own kids.

I'm not sure that making his own kids into millionaires at the cost to his workers paid a pittance is much of a moral highground.
