And to those scoffing at the idea that homeless people stay in hotels: when shelters are full, local agencies regularly place clients in hotel rooms. Many unhoused individuals also have jobs and cycle between hotels, cars, friends' apartments, and the street.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in.

Alejandro Carranza Medina was a Colombian fisherman, tuna & merlin were typical catches for him. His family has named Pete Hegseth in their formal Human Rights complaint in Alejandro’s murder.

It's easy to be progressive and inclusive and say and do the right things when society at large feels the same. And while that does matter, it matters even more when society loses its way and starts attacking the good people. That's when you earn your medals.

I don't want to see venerable institutions destroyed, but if their survival depends on moral abdication in the face of discrimination against their own members, then were they really much use to begin with? Someone has to take the hit someday.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
