Taking a social media break until the new year. My best friend does this every year and says it is great for mental health and refocusing on life, so Iβm giving it a go. Happy holidays folks. Try to make the world a better place for everyone, especially the poor and powerless. β€οΈ

βNobody Blames the Landlord. They Just Take Away the Kids.β
All too often, when parents canβt afford safe housing, the solution child welfare services offer is putting their children in foster care.
Every year, tens of thousands of children are taken from their families because their parents can't afford decent housing. Most child welfare agencies do virtually nothing to help them even as the affordable housing crisis worsens. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Alan Douchewitz is, at best, an apologist for pedophiles.
And, given his repeated presence in the Epstein Files, it's entirely plausible that he has raped children himself, too.

Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.
And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*
