Just as you can't just print more money to solve poverty, you can't just build housing to solve homelessness.
The issue is not the lack, it's the distribution.

Just a note that menstrual products are the most requested / least donated items in food pantries so if you have the means to pick up supplies perhaps consider it

Mar helped keep me alive earlier this year by helping support me when I was starving. She's an absolute sweetheart who's does so much for others, and she's incredibly important to me. Please consider supporting her if you can. 💜

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

cops give people such a learned helplessness. like people will say they "aren't doing enough" around something or other or that they are "incompetent" (these are folks who aren't abolitionists but *maybe* think defund). but do you not think you could ask someone who actually cares about you for help

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

I don't think discord servers should be doing @ everyone announcements more than once a week. I also don't think you need to be making them just because there's a new moderator. Like if you want to put that in the announcements channel that's grand. But I don't need to be tagged

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

Assata Shakur's autobiography was a formative work for me as a person. There aren't many books that I think everyone should read, but I think that is one.
I am glad that she got to live outside of prison for so long in relative freedom, that she did not die in a prison at the hands of fascists.

As someone who has closely followed the effects of ChatGPT on people's mental health, the most shocking thing about this story is that it's *the first* wrongful death suit.
Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death.
Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
