The NBC Tour de France coverage continues to be awful. I long for Eurosport but watching live is challenging even on tiz.

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

When I say we could solve our housing problem right now, with no additional technology, no additional knowledge - we could just do it. Immediately. Starting tomorrow.

We haven't because they just don't want to. Capitalists and politicians conspire to make sure you stay afraid of 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 into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.
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.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

Closer to home, here’s the latest electoral campaign tomfoolery in our very own Minneapolis Ward 12 city council race.
This is appalling behavior on the part of Becka Thompson, and I wanted to comment on a couple of things specifically.

First off, to save people the trouble of digging, I just wanted to note that the website she's whining about is here:

I highly recommend the 2016 Adam Curtis documentary ‘Hypernormalisation’. (content warning: violence, profanity and Donald Trump). Really helped me understand how we got to now.

Feeding the toddler has me eating healthier too. For example, at breakfast I’ll have some fruit and several fistfuls of yogurt.
