More than half of U.S. states have seen a decline in the number of licensed foster homes since 2021. So what’s happening? Child welfare authorities are placing foster youth in juvenile detention facilities instead. I’m glad more attention is being paid to this.

Justice Thomas's $267,230 RV was financed at least in part by a wealthy friend in the health care industry. It was not reported in his financial disclosures. Is this behavior consistent with the ethical guidelines Chief Justice Roberts claims the Court abides by?

NEW: On Saturday night, a man in a suburb of Chicago executed an 8-year-old girl because she was being “too loud.” Serabi Medina was riding her scooter in Portage Park when a 43-year-old man walked up to her and shot her in the head. #twill chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2023/8/6…

In China, the worst floods in modern history have driven a million people from their homes. In AZ, the temperature was over 110 degrees for 31 straight days. Maybe the U.S. & China should work together to combat climate change rather than combatting each other in a new Cold War.

I don’t want success to be measured by disability “not being noticed.” I need to see that things will be okay if my disabled child continues to be very much disabled. /4

@oldenoughtosay LOL if spouses weren’t so keen to defend their own parents in a dispute there would be many more happy marriages.

For each $1 stolen in shoplifting, there's at least $5 in wage theft and $100 in tax evasion. Have you ever heard about a wage theft or tax evasion "crime wave"? What do you think this tells you about how reporters determine what is "news" and what is ignored, and who benefits?

Crime police is based on fear not facts. "A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control." reuters.com/legal/governme…

It is wild to me that we have been socialized to be like, "yeah you're bleeding vaginally and it's causing cascading issues throughout your body but there is literally no excuse for you to NOT come into the office, and frankly it's weird that you asked"

Does anyone in the world have an actual positive case to make for continuing to attach health insurance to employment in the US? Is there any good reason at all to keep doing this?

I am begging and pleading for everyone to understand that using a sewing machine doesn’t mean the garment is being made automatically and a human is sitting there chilling and smoking a cigarette instead of doing the work of sewing.

Saw an Outfest screening of an incredibly moving queer Korean drama today. At the talkback the director, through a translator, was asked where they were able to acquire funding for such a film. They seemed confused by the question--

I’ve gotten a lot of new followers lately, so it’s a good day to urgently remind everyone that ALL clothing is handmade. It doesn’t matter if it’s a $2 t-shirt or $20,000 couture, someone had to make it. We don’t have automatic clothes-sewing machines.
