This picture isn’t “powerful” it’s fucking tragic. It takes a real sicko to look at hundreds of desperate people fleeing their homeland with nothing but the clothes on their back and turn it into a story about how great America is. Especially when they’re fleeing because of us.
This photo of 600+ Afghans squeezed into a C-17 is so powerful; take a moment to put yourself in their shoes. No luggage. May never see their home country again. They risk it all for freedom. Let America be a nation that welcomes them. Feeds them. Clothes them. THREAD

i seriously cannot overstate how much landlords depend on people not knowing the law.
One woman who was searching for an apartment in NYC was asked to pay a $100 application fee, followed by a $400 “processing fee,” even though such upfront fees had been capped at $20 as a result of new rent laws passed by New York lawmakers in June.
