Heat illness symptoms can vary by person, Venkat said. Medications or underlying conditions can also make it harder to regulate body temperature or notice you’re getting too hot. apnews.com/article/extrem…

Last year, the US budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis. newrepublic.com/article/197619…

THREAD. Something must be said about the New York Times. We are in the midst of a full-blown fascist takeover, and the NYT let one of its most dishonest reporters publish an article today full of misinformation arguing for massive new investments in police and surveillance.

CSU Channel Islands professor Jonathan Anthony Caravello was arrested & disappeared by ICE in Camarillo yesterday. 4 pigs dragged Jonathan away without giving the reason for arrest and without disclosing where they are taking him. His whereabouts are still unknown. Please boost.

"We have to go way beyond empathy in terms of how we respond to the truths in this book. The problem of homelessness is not about a lack of empathy. It's about power and who controls access to the basic necessities we all need." Current Affairs on THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US:

Start here: Who profits from obscuring the true causes of homelessness? Whose financial interests are served by shifting blame from those driving the crisis to those forced to suffer through it?
