AI rent-fixing schemes that let big landlords collude are shutting down. PDX just joined that fight. Huge thanks to Councilors Angelita Morillo, Tiffany Koyama Lane & @councilorgreen.bsky.social for pushing this over the finish line. Renters deserve a fair shot.

Trump insults when he can't answer.
Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

In Atlanta next week, city council and school board runoffs have become the latest battle between left-leaning groups and establishment-aligned Democrats, who by and large did well in the preliminary round on Nov. 4.

So glad to see Councilmember @kelseabondatl.bsky.social and others push back against the blanket TAD extension (until 2055!). Some good organizing going on against The Atlanta Way and a policy that would hurt schools and accelerate inequality.

Hopefully this delay will lead to defeat.
“Community participation is what democracy looks like, not shadowy boards of CEOs and corporate interests doling out money to for-profit developers that should be going towards our public schools,” they said.

More and more Arizonans are being pushed into homelessness in Donald Trump’s unaffordable economy. These unlawful drastic changes to long-standing HUD policies passed by Congress will push even more into homelessness.

Trump's "administration is weakening or eliminating key provisions of the bedrock environmental law that protect vulnerable species from extractive activities."

EPA "scaling back the Clean Water Act and threatening drinking water for millions."

For at least a year, I've been returning to the question, how would you know when it's time to leave the US? For this piece, I asked trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer Americans who, with their families and partners, have recently fled the country, about how they made this decision and how they left.
When Is It Time to Flee?
Trans people and their families are facing hard questions and choices as threats to their safety and rights proliferate.

This. USNA 81 grad. We were specifically taught about My Lai as THE example of NOT following illegal orders. Thank you, @willbunch.bsky.social for point this out.
In 1968, a soldier named Hugh Thompson defied orders to save Vietnamese lives during the My Lai massacre. Eventually seen as a hero, in real time he was vilified and nearly court-martialed

A new federal directive by Mehmet Oz allows the sharing of Medicaid applicant data with DHS effective immediately, rescinding previous “interagency integrity” firewalls. This forces mixed-status families into an impossible calculus: access life-saving medical care or remain invisible to enforcement.

Effective today, a new federal directive allows immigration enforcement to access state healthcare enrollment data, TPS ends for thousands of Burmese war refugees, plus Kristi Noem explainer video.
