New @washingtonpost:
I tried to read all my app privacy policies. It was 1 million words!
It’s too hard to keep up with digital privacy, and it’s not your fault.
So let’s abolish privacy policies.
Here’s some good ideas to give us real privacy choices: wapo.st/3t6B7He

On Saturday, we mourned the loss of a community member. Miguel Gonzales, a kind and bright light, who loved football and basketball died on March 29th clutching the blue concrete bench outside of the Plaza after being evicted from the area without his sleeping bag and tent.

Andrew Brown Jr. is being laid to rest in North Carolina:
"For the Black folks, White folks, Democrats and Republicans, all watching today, they all need to know that we are tired. We're tired of the cycle of grief that comes along with being Black in this country."

Harassing encampment residents does not end homelessness, housing does.
