Sounds like a wonderful program. Would be great if there was a little more time to read the text

In an effort to fulfill President Donald Trump’s executive order on homelessness, Utah is building a massive facility that housing advocates warn will function as an “internment camp” where the unhoused will be subject to forced labor.

These 2 states will determine if the U.S. slips into a recession while one more enters the danger zone, top economist says | Fortune “This state-level picture mirrors the national trend: The U.S. economy is not in recession, but it is struggling to avoid one.”

#Recession

Why is Platner "not it?"

In Utah, Trump’s vision for homelessness begins to take shape State officials promise large-scale involuntary addiction and mental health treatment at Salt Lake City’s edge. Critics see “a prison, or a warehouse.”

Shumway sounds so insanely out of touch.
This is a plan for ending Utah #homelessness that includes no housing.
Where do the new affordable #housing units come from? Where are they in this plan? All I see is indefinite, or at best revolving-door, involuntary detention.

Housing First works. They are thinking of defunding $17M in housing vouchers to help pay for this.

Imagine having your HOUSING VOUCHER stripped away so that you can be put BACK on the street and then rounded up and put in this, uh, facility.

Matt sued Trump once, and won. Now he’s running for Congress to take him on again, because Mainers can’t afford politicians who sell us out.

I am #autistic. Let me explain something really important. First, #vaccines did NOT cause it. Second, I LOVE WHO I AM, #autism included, and the fact RFK Jr and his ilk have made it the bogeyman is horrific. Our lives are different. Sometimes difficult. But WORTH LIVING ffs. Without vaccines? Death

If you'd like to read the opinions of a panel of real experts on winter #vaccines in different populations, that presentation is now out. I linked to it below.

The takeaways for me were that data remains very convincing - it's much safer to have COVID & flu vaccines than not - for every population

Vaccine Integrity Project CIDRAP provides an initiative dedicated to safeguarding vaccine use in the U.S, so that it remains grounded in the best available science.

Scientific authority on #vaccines in the US no longer rests with the #CDC and #ACIP. However, there is still the independent, evidence based #CIDRAP from the University of Minnesota.

The real experts on CIDRAP's #VaccineIntegrityProject just met yesterday on COVID, flu and RSV vaccines.

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

The #Trump administration has asked #NASA employees to draw up plans to end at least two major satellite missions, burning up a state of the art, functioning satellite in the atmosphere. These satellites happen to monitor carbon dioxide.

musk is bored and likes attention. I hope we can build a world where one bored and immature man with extreme wealth can't throw his weight around and affect the politics of an entire country

t2 admin has come to the point of pushing a US Senator to the floor and handcuffing him.

This is madness gone wild.

This is, as Pete Buttigieg says, crossing the reddest of red lines in the face of our American Constitution.

What will Congress do about it?
What will WE, the People, do about it?

How the 1% are preparing for the apocalypse | CNN World’s elite choosing to custom-design private (and super secret) shelters to ride out a pandemic, World War III or any other threat of global annihilation.

What will the space stations & "Mars colony" be for? The billionaire bunkers? Not a home for humanity.

An escape hatch for the rich- for unpleasant circumstances (war, climate, disease) or for when humanity wants to march their heads around on pikes for what they did.

We are on track to hit 4C warming before 2100, a scenario which it is estimated that only 10% of the world will survive. Better believe that the rich are preparing their children to survive it.

It's time to recognize that Trump got elected because he puts on a specific type of *show.* It's a show that many people desperately wanted to see.

This point from @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social from the first week of the Trump administration's push is continually relevant: Fear is the goal

Yet Truth Social, Parler, Rumble, and Gab don't hurt conservatives and their causes? Interesting.

Who have never had to transfer a patient out of bed because transporters are busy. Who do not stand on their feet for 16 hour shifts. Who have never eaten a sandwich in workplace bathroom because they aren't receiving breaks.

Raising the work requirement to 64 is brutality directed toward seniors.

The poorest Americans do not work cushy desk jobs. My father did not make it to be old enough to even qualify for #Medicare.

64 may not seem "too old" to work to our Senators, who sit in a chamber and look at paperwork. Who have never swung a hammer or picked up a chainsaw or post hole digger.

As I see Trump's tax bill propose raising the age for forcing people to work to receive food, from 54 to 64, I think of my father.

A carpenter whose body was already spent in his 50s. After decades of manual labor for low pay, he survived on #SNAP.

#biguglybill

I said years ago that #California is the state most likely to initiate #secession from federal government. Their immense economic power sets them apart. They expect to self-govern & when that expectation is thwarted by feds, they don't feel a need to be submissive. They know they can go it alone.

On Saturday, more than 1,800 rallies will take place—peaceful, organized, and united. From major cities to small towns, we’ll rise together and say: We reject political violence. We reject fear as governance. We reject the myth that only some deserve freedom. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

DO NOT SPLIT!

Oil painting of a gentle flowing Creek that veers off to the left in front of the viewer. The water is a luminous bright blue. Along the banks of the creek are tall grasses and behind it stretches out to a open field. There is a single tree on the meadow and then in the background or a line of trees. The meadow is a bright vibrant spring green. In the background are dotted little pink clouds. It is a picture of Texas and looks like a great place to have a picnic.

This painting was a test piece for a class I was going to teach. I loved all the colors from the original reference.

Beautiful art

Center-right FoxBusiness.com is reporting honestly that the Trump budget bill will add to the deficit and make over 10m people uninsured. Commenters are uniformly critical of the bill.
Fox News flagship itself of course continues to unapologetically simp in any & all circumstances.
