Every year I write the same, slightly grimmer story

1 in 7 New York public school students experienced homelessness last school year, a record high.

For @citylimitsnews.bsky.social I discuss the troubling rise

I love this story - every part of this story.

“"[To see] a woman empowered, [to see] a woman's life changing from being that woman that would literally have to beg to being a woman that can make decisions," Nandudu says.”

Meridah Nandudu was a single mom of two kids, unemployed and in despair. Then she had an idea: Maybe the "humble" coffee beans she'd grown up with on her parents' farm could lead her to a better life.
For years, men controlled one village's coffee industry — but one woman changed that

It’ll be appealed, but today was a good day for kids.

Kids can form their own opinions. Give them education and critical thinking tools, and then let chips fall where they may. Banning books doesn’t erase existence, but it will make the real world harder to navigate when they get there.
I also have family at Pendleton. Sorry for all that mess :/
Calling more than half the population vermin, scum, animals, and enemies of the people is a more appropriate example of “trying to demonize.” Calling out federal immigration agents for betraying their oaths to appease a tyrant, is, as Johnson would put it, “objective fact.”

$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$250M for a new White House ballroom
$150M for Trump's golf outings
$520M for National Guard deployments
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets

But sorry, Poors -- ain't no money to lower your healthcare bills.

As someone who pardoned convicted seditionists, he doesn’t even belong there. Taking a wrecking ball to the White House, as he has to this country, to make room for his ego, is unforgivable. Fuck this!
White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom
The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

"I'm only 4'6 and I can't see. What harm was I going to do to them?" Haberl said.”

“Tuesday night, Haberl was protesting at the ICE facility when federal agents picked him up and dropped him on the ground.”

He was sitting in protest. Just sitting.

On Sunday, a DOJ whistleblower told 60 Minutes what the public has suspected for months now: The Trump administration told him to lie to a judge about Ábrego García. trib.al/TE5xu42

"What’s to stop them if they decide they don’t like you anymore? To say you’re a criminal, you’re a member of MS-13?"
With all due respect, hell no.
You really can’t make this shit up.

Live ammunition detonates over I-5 and damages CHP vehicle being used for Vance security at Pendleton. This, after the VP mocked Newsom’s safety concerns about live rounds being shot across the nation’s busiest highway.

Haven’t seen a WH reply since.

Nearly 30 House Republican veterans and reservists could just as easily call on Senate Republicans to extend ACA subsidies as a means to end the shutdown. Nobody wants troops to go unpaid. And nobody wants premiums to double, or for people to go untreated because they’ve been priced out healthcare.

Yikes — WP reports Rubio turned over gang informants to El Salvador to get that deal to let Trump send immigrants to their hard labor prison without due process.

A lawless regime.

‘Not’ giving them $40B would more than cover a year’s worth of ACA subsidies so we could reopen the government. Just a thought.
FFS - somebody needs to take all the boom boom toys away from this administration. This is insane.
