The homeless veterans who sued the VA for access to housing in Los Angeles won their appeal against the government yesterday.
The decision was complex, but may be consequential in eliminating veteran homelessness across the country.

Bari Weiss is so incompetent at leading CBS News that her efforts at fully suppressing the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT was foiled because she wasn't aware (or forgot) that the broadcast package including that segment was distributed via a streaming app for broadcast in Canada.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

In his deposition for his Medicare fraud case, where he committed (at the time) the greatest amount of Medicare fraud ever, Rick Scott invoked the 5th Amendment 85 times.

Just to be clear. This is who is running ICE. Attacked his partner, attempted to strangle her and if that wasn't enough the little nugget of information mid way through the article that informs us that she was 18 and he was in his FORTIES when their relationship started.
“This is an agency that demonizes immigrants who have committed no crimes yet it fails to police its own ranks. The hypocrisy is breathtaking, & the threat to public safety is clear.”
This ⤵️ is who is behind the mask, grabbing people off the street.
