What the absolute hell?

We’re paying more than apartment rental rates for tent parking spaces? And to make it worse, they cut the capacity in half and still paid the full rate? We are funneling money into a black hole with no plans for solutions.

Judge blasts city of LA for 'fraud’ over safe sleep site funding and capacity numbers
The site in South L.A. was paid $2.3 million to provide space for up to 88 unhoused residents last fiscal year. But two observers found the site was operating at half capacity.

More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.
There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders.

The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it.

This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.

Why is no one talking about this?

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes.

Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

It’s flabbergasting that you could pick just about any random American off the street and they would show infinitely more political willpower and courage than our entire cadre of alleged leaders and titans of business. We’re a nation occupied by a tiny upper class of cowards.

Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

Has someone made an "ick" video for Cuomo?

How long did it take for Cuomo to give you the ick? And with what he's doing now, what's the GenZism for that? Like, the IckIck?

What a racist blowhard ash-hat.

Here it is: the Trump Administration "draft proposal" to the University of California. Published bc faculty sued for its disclosure.

Its terms go beyond what Trump demands in similar compacts to other universities.

EVERYONE should read: faculty, students, admins, alumni.
