The cause of Homelessness is not, not having a home.

The cause of Homelessness is not, not having a home.

The cause of homelessness is not simply, not having a home. It’s unaddressed trauma, untreated mental health struggles, and systemic barriers that keep people trapped. To truly end homelessness, we must go beyond shelter, we must heal, support, and empower people at the root of their struggles.

If billionaires can build rockets for 11-minute joyrides, they can afford to fund universal mental healthcare.

We don’t have a budget problem. We have a priority problem.

Yes, they voted for this "You knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in."

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

How Brexit, a Startling Act of Economic Self-Harm, Foreshadowed Trump’s Tariffs Britain’s decision to leave the European Union in 2016 was sold to voters as a magic bullet that would revitalize the country’s economy. Its impact is still reverberating.

"Britain has watched Trump’s tariffs with a mix of shock, fascination and queasy recognition... Critics once described Brexit as the greatest act of economic self-harm in the post-WWII era. It may now be getting a run for its money across the Atlantic." ~AA

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2
