Particularly WOMEN.

Women with sons in particular cannot go to shelters if their sons are 12 and up to protect the women and girls living at the shelter. They cant go to coed shelters because men are monsters. They cant be on the street openly for the same reason.
And to those scoffing at the idea that homeless people stay in hotels: when shelters are full, local agencies regularly place clients in hotel rooms. Many unhoused individuals also have jobs and cycle between hotels, cars, friends' apartments, and the street.

And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

You may know the Petrykivka style, a traditional 🇺🇦 art form with bright flowers and birds.

The one in the video is less known: Mykolaiv painting, a local southern Ukrainian tradition used to decorate wooden chests and household items in the late 19th-early 20th century, with simple floral patterns.

Miller and Trump want to fuel bigotry. Like dictators before him, Trump’s road to tyranny is paved with stones hurled at “them.” His entire project depends on hate.

But America is better than Trump and his chief bigot. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/stephen-millers-latest-bigoted-bullshit
