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.

β€œIn 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 into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

We’re at 305/500. This is doable! Five bucks, a share, a like, a supporting comment. It all helps.

July first is coming and rent is due. Please help in any way you can. Thanks!

i am simply of the belief that letting Republicans repeat over and over again that science is not on the side of trans people without answering them in kind is bad.

it's a lie and should be called a lie. you can't compromise with this.

I wish enough people understood that RFK is evil the way Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy were evil. He doesn’t care about making anyone healthy; he views human beings like the mice and baby chicks he delighted in throwing into a blender alive. A true psychopath.

Congress will pass Trump’s β€œBig Beautiful Bill”.

The Supreme Court will continue to bend the knee.

The Democratic Party will remain useless as they prioritize donors and power over country.

There is only one way this ends:

The people uniteβ€”against fascism, against oligarchy, against the system.

Hungary banned anything that β€œpromotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

NEW: Erdogan has banned protests in Turkey. He has threatened to arrest anyone attending one.

This is the people’s response.

National Protests April 5th, but don't wait until then!!

Protest, call your reps, engage in mutual aid in your community, engage in non violent civil disobedience, write an op-ed, do movement work or community organizing to support the resistance.

Comment on this rule with your dissatisfaction as all comments must be reviewed. It's a great delay tactic and errors by the administration in mishandling/procedural errors of comments can be used in litigation.

Please note that pharmacies can turn away GoodRX coupons for controlled substances. They are not required to honor coupons for those prescriptions.

This is a very important point for people taking testosterone.

I’m getting a lot of messages about the rule change over private insurances and EHBs.

My understanding of the rule is that it is NOT a national trans care ban or anything like that.

It will allow private insurance to deny care.

Probably will have biggest impacts in red states with no state reqs.

There is absolutely no way Greenland should let in a representative of an overtly hostile nation, in fact the wife of someone explicitly threatening to β€œtake” it. Turn her plane back.

They’re all too busy spinning whatever the latest tragedy is into some cult-brained lunacy.

When I pressed one on antivax dumb shit leading to the measles outbreaks, they immediately pivoted to β€œwell it’s illegals bringing it over here.” 😩 They’re all hopeless.

Remembering Angela Morley on what would have been her 101st birthday.

She helped orchestrate A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back uncredited and specifically orchestrated The Trench Run cue β€œThe Last Battle”

Morley was the first openly transgender person to be nominated for an Academy Award.

Hamilton canceled its shows at the Kennedy Center because of Donald Trump.

β€œOur show simply cannot, in good conscience, participate and be a part of this new culture that is being imposed on the Kennedy Center. Therefore, we have cancelled the third engagement of Hamilton at the Kennedy Center.”

BREAKING: Trump shuts off intelligence to Ukraine, cutting off data for drones, air attacks, and air defense

This is a clear and direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 - in which US gave security guarantee to Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up nukes and ships
