Homelessness affects all of us, whether we’re housed or living on the street. Which means we all have a role to play in ending it. My essay here: open.substack.com/pub/iancoope...
There but for the grace of God
We're all closer to the street than we'd like to be. We can each be part of the solution, too.

Rent is due in just 2 days & I’m terrified of not being able to keep this roof over my family heads.💔

We’ve already been through so much loss after the genocide & I just want them to feel safe, to wake up in the same place tomorrow.

Please, help us finish this, donate if you can or simply share.

1,700 Palestinian prisoners were released in a long-awaited exchange deal.
A moment of joy for many — but for me, it's a painful reminder.
My cousin wasn’t among them.
His name wasn’t on the list.
We don’t even know if he’s alive or dead.

I made this video 4 days ago.

As of today, Elfashir has completely run out of food, and the earthen barriers RSF have been building around the city are now complete.

Oh, and RSF drones struck a town in Khartoum State and another in Northern State.

In case anyone gaf.

I’m so glad she’s doing this, because mainstream media doesn’t seem to give a fuck 🫠 people need to know!

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Farrah and Muhanad have a lot of integrity and upon finding out that a scammer was trying to trick other Gazans by saying he promoted their campaign (when he didn’t) they decided to change the URL so he couldn’t do that- so this is their new link to their fundraiser now.

A test”? No… it’s our lives. Our hunger. Our cold nights under torn tents. This is not a test — it’s collective punishment. I lost my home. My family is freezing and starving. Please don’t stay silent.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

For two years, my family and I have been living through war, displacement, and hunger.
From one tent to another, from one cold night to the next.
Now we’re sick all of us because of the freezing air and this torn tent that can’t protect us anymore

Ceasefire doesn't mean the genocide is over, i hope you keep supporting Palestine. I documented a lot, and been through so much, and it's devastating. Please offer me any support you can. I will be so much grateful.

I’m one of the people who lost everything.
83% destroyed is not just a number — it’s my home, my street, my life.
We didn’t need a nuclear bomb to be erased…
Now they talk about "rebuilding."
But no one asks how we’re surviving in tents, cold and hungry.

Help us survive

A little girl in Gaza dreams of tasting food again.
The war took away her home, her laughter, and even her bread.
One small act of kindness can bring back a piece of her hope 🍞💔
