Why housing shortages cause homelessness Why do high-cost cities have more homelessness? It's not just about rents — it’s also about the rooms friends and family can’t afford to share.

Abundant self-driving cars, by freeing up garage/parking space for extra bedrooms, may do more to reduce homelessness than any non-profit

Trump attempts a major step toward dictatorship He's going for it. Who will stop him?

New in PN: Trump attempts a major step toward dictatorship

"So far, nothing he's done has prompted a critical mass of Republicans to speak out about his abuses of power. And in his address to military brass, Trump signaled he intends to go much further."

I’m just saying drones are a great tech allowing smaller nations/forces to fight larger aggressor nations/forces & as seen in the Ukrainian Op in Russia they can target key assets/personnel.
If all weren’t made in China I’d say the more common the tech the more deterrence against all authoritarians.

On a completely unrelated note, I’d expect our Army should be taking lessons from Ukraine’s successful civilian drone building efforts, especially the un-jammable fiber-optic cable drones.
Could make for a really interesting hobby for US citizens over the next several years.

The one less optimistic thing is most of the early likes were the women officers, likely 1st targets in any fake ‘DEI’ purges

I had to delete the original FB / Instagram post because several officers were liking it and I didn’t want one of my posts to be the reason an officer with some good sense loses their position to a loyalist in a future purge

Yeah, I’ve posted this to my socials, but on sites where I have military friends I’ve advised to not interact with the post as I don’t put loyalty tests & social media investigations out of the question

Foreign aid from the United States saved millions of lives each year For decades, these aid programs received bipartisan support and made a difference. Cutting them will cost lives.

Despite cuts, there's still approx. $21bn in FY25 budgeted foreign aid—funding that could save the million lives potentially at stake from the aid freeze.

The challenge now: obligating funds and delivering services in time. More from @charlesjkenny.bsky.social:

Thank you for supporting cost-effective, life-saving programs

Earlier this year, I explained why I donated 16% of my annual income directly to help save USAID programs that were terminated.

Now there's an easy way to do that. This Response Fund pools donations directly to urgent and vetted programs in need of support:

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

The House is voting on the rescissions package THIS THURSDAY.

Congress is considering devastating cuts to global health funding, including to PEPFAR and ‪@unicef.org

Check the thread on how you can take action today 👇

From a colleague. Keep calling! It’s working!!!

“We’re hearing that because enough moderate Republicans in the House are telling Speaker Johnson they’re against PEPFAR cuts, the White House is going to amend the package. The pressure is working!!“

This image is a world map illustrating the share of new cancer cases attributed to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori in 2020. Different regions are shaded in various shades of orange and brown, indicating the percentage of cancers caused by this bacteria. Areas with no data are marked with diagonal lines. The color scale ranges from light yellow for 0% to dark brown for 10%. The regions with a higher prevalence of cases are primarily in East Asia and parts of South America, while many areas in North America and Western Europe show lower percentages. The data source is the International Agency for Research on Cancer from 2020. A note clarifies that non-melanoma skin cancers are excluded from the denominator due to potentially incomplete records and inconsistent registry practices.

In some regions, around one-in-ten cancer cases are caused by a common, treatable bacterium

It’s concerning some Abundance suggestions may lead to more centralization of power.

I may really agree that things like Unions can make economies less efficient, but when are the inefficiencies worth it in order to disperse power and check oligarchy & authoritarianism?
