Homelessness and affordable housing are two important issues to address when progressing towards a society that works for everyone.

Arresting the unhoused doesn’t work.

The root cause is a lack of affordable housing.

Here’s a story about two Democrats in charge of Pittsburgh pursing effective plans.

Might be wrong here, but seems like this may be a bigger deal than a clerical error as is being widely reported:

Rejected and ‘returned for correction’: Docs for Trump’s $175M bond get bounced >>> https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/rejected-and-returned-for-correction-docs-for-trumps-175m-bond-get-bounced/

It may be that the bond company didn't report their financials because they have insufficient collateral to secure a bond of this magnitude. In which case the bond is no good, Trump doesn't have a bond, and he is out of time.

Let's see how this gets resolved...

    BREAKING: Hunter Biden made $640 million while “working” in daddy’s administration, and received $2 billion from the people behind 9/11.

    Jared Kushner was given $2 billion to invest by the Saudis in 2021.

    Donald Trump needs a $464 million bond by Monday.

    It does not appear Jared and Ivanka are going to help Donald.

    Meantime, we very well may take an impromptu driving trip to BC on Sunday because there is a really good house our agent alerted us to and we need to see it up close.

    What has always concerned me about Tiktok is how incredibly passive its users have to be to be seduced into making endless swipes through bottomless pits of ephemeral content posited as art or information. Have you ever watched someone doing it? It’s like they’re in a trance.

    PamelaBarroway,
    @PamelaBarroway@mstdn.social avatar

    @shoq It’s the one platform my teen is not allowed on. I have friends whose kids are completely addicted.

    But that actually wasn’t my primary reason.

    I sat down with my son and asked him to run a search about TikTok and antisemitism, and the results were pretty horrific. He was fine staying off after that.

    "Blood bath at #RNC" 1/...

    "Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the RNC began the process of pushing out dozens of officials.

    All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut" #Trump https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/11/bloodbath-at-rnc-trump-team-slashes-staff-at-committee-00146368
