People need to be keeping eyes on Tunisia. A range of frail & elderly political prisoners—including famous politicians like Rached Ghannouchi—are hunger striking & could die any day now, god forbid.

Meanwhile, Saied is undertaking yet another crackdown & discontent is growing.

This CNN & Kalshi thing is so disturbing. Really think we need to outlaw gambling everywhere. At least on all prop bets. It’s too easy and accessible to lose your money to massive corporations in an attempt to get out of debt

“The mayor has until Dec. 1 to do what he’s gonna do, and then the council is going to take the lead Dec. 2,” Dunphy told OPB last month. “That is the moment where I’m ready to pivot and start working on a solution.”

That solution is beginning to take shape:
East Portland councilors unveil $21 million proposal to address homelessness
Three city councilors introduced a proposal Wednesday to redirect $21 million in recently-identified, unspent city housing dollars toward programs that keep people from becoming homeless.

Soooo let's talk about why dropping a ton of cash on temporary homeless shelters isn't the silver bullet people think it is. Honestly, focusing just on shelters has some major drawbacks:

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM

I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop.

PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!!

People need homes they can afford!

We too often look at prices when talking about affordability & not enough at wages. As Harold Meyerson explains, had the bottom 90% earned the same share of national income they did in 1975, by 2023 they would have made an additional $79 trillion!

We’re in an affordability crisis because workers aren’t being paid at the same levels they earned in the past.

Today I want to tell you about farmworkers.
Specifically, the child farmworkers of California's Central Valley.
As young as 12 years old.
In a blue state that is failing to ensure their health and safety.
Amazing investigation in 2 parts from our friends at @capitalandmain.bsky.social. Part I:

If you see right wing accounts today talking about how Christian pilgrims ended the practice of "child sacrifice" when they colonized the West remind them that the leading cause of death TODAY in the US is from guns due to their own policies preventing anything being done about it

Portland's now reinstated fees for ppl to pick up a towed RV.

I wrote about this coming policy change a few months ago:
Portland mayor makes it harder for houseless people to retrieve towed RVs
Keith Wilson changed a policy that previously allowed people to get their RVs back for free if they were towed.
