WTF 🤯. This is absolutely unacceptable. So basically Vancouver would rather punish our most vulnerable homeless populations until other municipalities take on more supportive housing. Hate that homelessness exists, not the people who experience it. #bcpoli

Republicans are mulling deep cuts in safety net spending, partly to offset big tax cuts aimed mostly at the wealthy. But some programs they propose to cut reach not just the poorest Americans but also struggling working class voters, many of whom helped elect Donald Trump in November.
Trump Drive to Cut Safety Net Could Hit His Voters
The new administration wants to slash aid for health, food and housing, but many of those programs now reach the struggling working class he is courting.

For my mental health I’m limiting my news influx. No MSM but leaning on independent media to keep me informed. I have friends who aren’t following ANYTHING. I guess “you do you” but aren’t we called to bear witness for the voiceless? Who will be there when they come for us? 💔

I saved this picture because I never wanted to forget the hubris, hypocrisy and cruelty of white men observing brown people in cages. And here we are again. The GOP are hateful, mean cockroaches. Apologies to cockroaches. 🪳

Hate the war on drugs and addiction, not the people using them. Prohibition hasn’t prevented drugs from entering the country or people from using them. It’s actually created more dangerous drugs, more overdose, more addiction, and more stigma. The war on drugs isn’t ending harms, it’s causing them!

Urine drug screens are some of the most inaccurate tests in medicine, that even healthcare professionals frequently misinterpret or just don’t understand.
Yet we let nonmedical/nonscientific people in politics and law enforcement use them to punish people and even take children from their mothers.

Heartbreaking and just the beginning. A patients friend has three kids in school. Her daughter came home crying, saying a few boys in her class were bullying her. When asked what happened, this 11 year old girl said that 11 year old boys were pushing her and saying “Your body, my choice”😳😢
