ProPublica @propublica.org · Jul 26

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

➡️ This is what they wrote: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

Paramount+ sub = $60 a year

Shift that $ to your @pbs.org station instead and you’ll do two good things at the same time. Do it.

This is why we don't shut up about Trans Club

If it was really about celebrating military families, we could put $30 million toward helping them offset the cost of their child care, food assistance and tuition…  But it isn't. Trump is throwing himself a $30 million birthday parade just to stroke his own ego.

Elon Musk has accused Donald Trump of being in the Epstein Files. Here’s the most important follow-up question: was Joe Biden too demented to release this information? Read my book to find out. Jake Tapper tomorrow in the NYT

This sociopath destroyed countless lives and made life worse for millions of Americans, sneering at them as he indulged his narcissistic impulsivity. But now he has feelings. What are they and will he feel better soon? We asked in a six-part series. Today in the New York Times

The oligarchs just sit there hoarding wealth, buying homes for fun, and calling it “the market” when we can’t afford the basics just to survive. We made them rich buying their junk, and their big idea to fix society? Let us fight each other and starve. It's cheaper that way.
