Black Women Are Losing Jobs At Three Times The Rate Of Other Women | Essence New labor data shows Black women accounted for a disproportionate share of job losses across 2025, especially in federal, education, and care-sector roles.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."

😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!

"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."

Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“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 to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

If Canada adopted this, it would pull 240, 000 people off of our streets. Canada should do this @mark-carney.bsky.social

This is just like UBI. Every study shows it works and is more cost effective but societies‘ hatred of poor people means we‘d rather pay more to make them suffer.

What we've got here, Charlie Brown, is failure to communicate

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”

It is actually not mandatory for everyone else in the room when he does this to women in front of witnesses to just giggle nervously and ignore it. People could actually do the decent thing that one does in such circumstances, and tell him to back off, and take the consequences. I mean for starters.

Sound familiar, Alberta?

Coming soon to your driver's license.

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.

We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Canada Is About to Lose Its Status as Having Eliminated Measles

Alberta is calling!
"So far this year, Alberta has recorded nearly 2,000 cases...and the United States nearly 1,700.
Canada is set to be the first Western country since the coronavirus pandemic to lose its elimination status, according to W.H.O. data."

Landmark Ruling Fortifies Canada’s “Good Samaritan” Overdose Law Harm reductionists see the decision, protecting people from possession arrests at overdose scenes, as a vital win in a worsening landscape.

“Politicians need to do better, and this case is really, really clear on that.”

Harm reductionists explain a key victory, as a Supreme Court of Canada ruling affirms protection from possession arrests for people at an OD scene.
