In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."
The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.
One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

When Families Need Housing, Georgia Will Pay for Foster Care Rather Than Provide Assistance
In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be chea...

It's deeply clear now that 77 million Americans made the worst mistake of their entire lives last November and straight up voted a man who raped children into office. And no one wants to call them on it because they're afraid to confront what it says about us that so many still support him anyway.

Dear enemies of the United States: to defeat the most powerful military in the world, just set up some windmills. Apparently Pete Hegseth is totally flummoxed by them.

Important context here: when Peter Thiel and David Sacks began their war on diversity as undergrads at Stanford, thirty years ago, the very first tactic they adopted was to normalize slurs that had already been stigmatized out of mainstream society. This return of these hateful terms was a key goal.
“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

I both do research & teach in a prison & the number of times I hear people talk about the horrendous beatings they got from family members that led them to seek alternative places and forms of acceptance and then later talk about how these kids today need parents who aren’t afraid to hit them is 🤯.
