Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help.

Some big brands including YouTube, Amazon, FedEx, Bass Pro Shops and others are sticking by the NRA despite calls for them to drop the controversial gun organization in the wake of the Valentine's Day Mass Shooting in Parkland Florida. Also in the news, EPA head, Scott Pruit, says the Bible is guiding him to harvest our natural resources (*He's referring to Natural Gas and Coal).

×In this episode we talk about California Governor Jerry Brown standing up to US Attorney General Jeff Sessions on immigration, how socialism is completely different from communism and the USSR flag represents the latter not the former, and I'm terrified that Trump is the president setting up the talks with North Korea.…
China's government is looking to make President Xi ruler for life, Florida takes some steps for stiffer gun laws, but also allowing some teachers to bring guns to school, Trump and Kim Jong Un to meet in May for talks, and more.
Our democracy needs saving. Russia, Egypt, and China just to name a few countries with fake elections. We need to make sure the US doesn't go that direction... ever. Republicans, along with some Democrats, are rolling back the bank regulations put in place after the financial crisis in 2008. What could go wrong? And, again, we need common sense gun laws and we need to support our children and students as they say never again and fight the NRA.…
I've had enough. We need common sense gun laws NOW. Enough is Enough. Also with Russia's new threat of nuclear annihilation via cruise missile, the Pentagon is evaluating the US missile defense systems and the Supreme Court is hearing a First Amendment argument about political paraphernalia at polling places on election day.…
There is no rest for any of us. Putin tells the Kremlin that Russia now has a ICBM that can evade anti-missile defenses, Mueller is looking into Trump's actions where he tried to get rid of Attorney General Jeff Sessions last July. And the Lt. Governor of Georgia is threatening Delta Airlines with taking away huge tax breaks if the airline cuts ties with the NRA. I told you the craziness keeps coming.…
You can now privately bookmark tweets, Trump, again, goes after Sessions, who is trying to do his job, somewhat, and Jared Kushner is manipulable.
Our "brilliant" president said something stupid as hell the other day. The Vietnam-dodging Donald Trump said he would have charged unarmed into the Parkland Florida high school to take on the armed gunman.

The two topics of legalizing marijuana and Net Neutrality might not be all that similar, but with the Trump administration in power, both are very relevant.
The Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 is getting underway at the US Supreme Court, Trump has some reckoning to do with his base and WTF Trump is musing about killing all drug dealers in the US.
Topics: Northeastern PA church blessing couple's assault rifles and what the heck are people thinking running a natural gas pipeline through populated Eastern PA?
Rick Gates pleads guity in the Muller investigation and our country is heading toward uncertain times. Also more guns is not the answer.
