Not explaining the system behind poverty and why it’s so expensive to be poor. You’ve lived on the streets for however many years, you can spend 10k plus just in medical bills needed to get you physically able to work. Getting the right docs to get IDs can take months especially in Cali and NY all while you’re paying hundreds a day in whatever motel would take u w/out an ID or debit card. Let alone struggling w addiction & disability.

Howard Stern had an episode once showing him giving a mentally ill unhoused Black man struggling with addiction $10,000. Then ridiculed everything he bought with it and laughed when he was back on the street only a few months later. This ep was some libertarian infomercial on how poor ppl are just mentally and biologically predisposed to be poor.

frantically googling 'how to be normal', 'things normal people say', in the last hour before masto meetup

It’s the complete lack of a modicum of self awareness that gets me. The night n day difference in how they handle Lucy Flores accusations vs Liz Warren’s accusation, Joe Rogan’s suddenly just now cancelled but Bill Maher and Charlamagne are somehow still allowed in polite society, uplift WoC no no not those 5 over there etc, this cherry picking shit is getting old🙄

Also these mfs weren’t saying shit in 2016 when everybody was running to be interviewed by Charlamagne, home of such bangers as🙄

Fuck Joe Rogass but let’s not act like lib folks hating on him now haven’t been tryna rehabilitate Howard Stern for past 11 years. Last I checked Joe never had disabled women competing for money by letting Amputation fetishists lick their surgical scars. Please have every single seat.

"Come February Jane Cordova will move out of a shelter for LGBT adults in San Francisco's Mission district for her own room in a Chinatown apartment. The scalloped windows in her bedroom will look out onto the city's famed cable car line, which stops mere feet away.

Cordova, 60, a transgender woman, is the first resident selected for the Trans Home SF on Washington Street, the city's first transitional housing program for transgender and gender-nonconforming adults. The program aims to provide apartments for 12 individuals age 25 and older who will be able to live rent-free for a year as they receive support in landing a job, enrolling in school, and saving money to move into their own apartment."

Thousands of Puerto Ricans marched to demand the resignation of Governor, #WandaVazquez, for a management they consider negligent in the face of the crisis caused by the latest earthquakes.

The demonstration was called by the Puerto Rican singer @Residente.

job seeking & career building as a black person feels so dehumanizing sometimes. literally the only career opportunities i've had are from other black and brown people, or once in a blue moon white people that are actually proven allies (not just say so) and have consistently backed it up with tangible actions. we really have to support each other and create opportunities for each other otherwise nobody else will
