This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime.
A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering.

A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant.
Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed.
This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.

Tell me something that brought you joy this week.
Any old thing will do. Small joys are as good as big ones—sometimes even better.

What many MAGA don’t realize and maybe they are now realizing:
Trump doesn’t care about anyone except himself. He reviles his Base more than anyone.
Saying in Vegas, June 2024: “We need every voter. I don't care about you. I just want your vote.”

Remember 89 days ago when Trump announced that he would do "90 deals in 90 days"?
Now he says he'll get those trade deals done later.
Sure. Just like when he said he wouldn't “touch” Medicaid, and he would cut costs for families.
Donald Trump has zero credibility.
