Louisville-area Republican state lawmakers plan to sponsor legislation in January that would ban street camping, add unlawful camping to Kentucky’s “stand your ground” law and cut funding for Housing First initiatives.
emphasis mine
So, open season on the homeless? I cannot see any other reason for this to be there. Also, cut funding to get them off the street, and make it legal to shoot them if they are on the street. This is fascist policy in a nutshell.
Rep. John Hodgson, co-sponsor, has Tea Party connections, so watch for similar bills surfacing in other states via the Koch State Policy Network.
But Rep. Hodgson, one of the bill’s proponents, said using a Housing First framework has already played itself out.
“Housing First is an abject failure all over America,” Hodgson said. “It increases homelessness and increases misery. It increases drug abuse, and drives the cost through the roof for the taxpayers.”
The facts seem to disagree with him.
There’s your problem:
According to Stanhope, Housing First “is an anathema to neoliberal ideology” because it asserts a fundamental right to housing and therefore "challenges deeply held beliefs that have shaped US welfare from its inception: That no one has a right to a government benefit unless they have proved themselves to be deserving or worthy (e.g., “TANF”), or have earned it (e.g., social insurance).”[27][80] Stanhope argues that the dissonance between the fundamental right to housing that Housing First entails and neoliberal ideology has not been considered during policymaking, especially because of the focus on the empirical outcomes of Housing First.[27]
No, this right here is the problem. Stupid damn facts.
white liberals can now applaud themselves for getting rid of a terrible plagiarist (/s) and tell themselves it had absolutely nothing to do with a black woman being in charge. 
And there it is.
As a president who’s both black and a woman, Claudine Gay is now a prize trophy for these assholes. And so-called Plagiarism is going to be their weapon of choice (no doubt with the more than willing help of AI-wielding techbros).
What a bunch of cynical, nasty fuckheads.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess it takes about 30 seconds to find actual plaigarism in Rufo’s academic record.
goddammit. we don’t want any more of these sewer rats - the tRumps, Kushners, fucker carlson, roger stone… and now this asshole.
this state has an infestation of fascist carpet baggers “poisoning our blood”, to borrow a turn-of-phrase. they don’t deserve to have a happy retirement here.
free state
Gah. What a creep. Just saying this is over the top pandering.
New rule designed to protect LGBTQ foster children draws GOP opposition
A new rule requiring child welfare agencies to place LGBTQ children in “environments free of hostility, mistreatment, or abuse” based on the child’s sexual orientation, gender identity or expression is drawing opposition from Republicans.
Of course it does. How dare we question their right to torture and mistreat people whose existence they disagree with?
Asking us to pay for child abuse? Fuck right off!
