A FEMA program set out to house survivors of Maui’s 2023 wildfires in short-term rentals.
But with no guardrails in place, some landlords kicked out long-term residents and made more money housing survivors, exacerbating an ongoing housing crisis.

Landlords Evicted Maui Residents and Housed Wildfire Survivors for More Money. FEMA Didn’t Take Basic Steps to Stop It.
FEMA officials said they didn’t want their housing program for survivors of Maui’s 2023 wildfires to displace any residents. But they didn’t bar the agency’s contractors from leasing properties previously occupied by long-term tenants.

Explain this to me: I needed to renew my drivers license and I came to do it in person because I wanted to do REAL ID. So I bring my current license + passport but am told I need six points of identification to get REAL ID. Why if I have a current passport do I need a gas bill or whatever?

The NLRB recently ruled captive audience meetings illegal, a major change in US labor law.
Background: When workers try to unionize, employers almost always force them to attend meetings to listen to antiunion propaganda, discipline workers for speaking out or skipping

And hey, if you didn't know ticketing at school was a thing, we can catch you up! Check out the stories that Jodi and I have written as part of "The Price Kids Pay."
The Price Kids Pay
Illinois law bans schools from fining students. But police routinely issue tickets to children for minor misbehavior at school, burdening families with financial penalties.

New from @propublica.org: A third Texas woman, Porsha Ngumezi, died under that state’s abortion ban. Instead of the D&C she needed, doctors gave her misoprostol. The bleeding continued and she died. www.propublica.org/article/pors...
A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments.
Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back.
I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.
