@climatecentral.org has relaunched the Billion Dollar Disaster methodology and database, which is good news for all of us trying to communicate the importance of disaster policy:

Setting money on fire would do more to solve homelessness than this camping ban.

With alt text:

A cartoon lists several large government spending amounts on the left in bold black text, including:

• “$170B for ICE”
• “$117B in tax cuts for the rich”
• “$40B for Argentina”
• “$250M for a vanity ballroom”
• “$230M in DOJ payments to Trump”
• “$172M for Kristi Noem’s jets”
• “$100M on golf.”

To the right, two small figures in red hats stand talking. One says in a speech bubble, “Food stamps are definitely the problem.”

This is great work, America but I know we can do better.

An image showing a graphic titled “TRUMP APPROVAL RATING” with the AP and NORC at the University of Chicago logos. The results read: “APPROVE 37%” and “DISAPPROVE 61%.” At the bottom, small text notes the survey was conducted October 9–13 with 1,289 adults. A photo of Donald Trump in a dark suit and red tie appears on the left side of the image.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects.

Republicans can't find a single minute to work with Democrats to keep health care costs from skyrocketing–but don't worry, they had plenty of time this summer to shovel tax breaks to billionaires.

Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.

“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.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6d

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.
