Trump Administration Expected to Drastically Cut Housing Grants

Trump Administration Expected to Drastically Cut Housing Grants www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Article barely addressed the fact that housing first works! Housing stability leads to employment and less addiction, not the other way around. Instead we get a nice ”both sides” in the 7th graph

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Nazis gonna Nazi. The American SS. What do you expect?

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Is THIS really what people voted for. A paramilitary force, masked, with long guns, abducting American citizens in broad daylight?

Some context to the viral videos:

Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units.

They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.

The ballroom thing is a catastrophe for them and a travesty for America. Trump should meet his political end over it. 300 million in bribes to destroy OUR heritage, OUR national property, and build a hideous, un-American monument to himself. At a time where the government is imploding.

I’ve had friends and family, good people, tell me that America will always be “OK”. Meanwhile a secret police force is literally abducting American citizens, including children, and then attacking the people who are asking where they took them.

Besides black & brown people, ICE & DHS definitely has a fetish for beating the shit out of white women.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

'“Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic,” Joe Maligno...wrote'

'Many of the chat members already work inside government or party politics, and one serves as a state senator.'

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Good thing Bari Weiss is now charge of CBS News

I’m sure the “Free Press” and face. The nation will have some hard hitting pieces about this.😂

Last year: Austin Peay State University learns prof is Nazi who went to Charlottesville rally. Admin drags heels, pays him $56k severance to leave

This week: APSU prof posts screenshot of headline - Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths ‘Unfortunately’ Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment- & is immediately fired

Police say ‘extremist network’ may have influenced Colorado high school shooter Police suspect the teenage gunman who carried out a school shooting in Colorado this week was “radicalized” before injuring two fellow students.

Meanwhile, we had another shooting the same day that killed *two* people and in this case it's absolutely clear the crime came from the far right.

Really weird to hear all these demands for retribution against the left when they're 0-for-2 in inspiring these events.

Supreme Court super majority triple crown, 1. pro-absolute monarchy 2. pro-race based enforcement of state police power, and since pres has immunity, 3. Pro pedophilia? john roberts the “umpire?” sure if he’s Angel Hernandez!

If writing one bad check a decade ago is “moral turpitude” then I have some deeply troubling news about the President of the United States

pretty sad, but there’s a recurring theme of, “wow, I voted for a sexist, narcissist, racist, corrupt child because he said he said he would only be cruel to brown people, who could have every guessed this could happen. “

Dems need to be speaking out. These criminal gangs of secret police may have impunity now, but that won’t last forever. They should be regularly making clear that people who committed these crimes will be held accountable.

Is there any proof that these men were “federal agents”?

The video labels them that but the post notes they were masked and unidentified.

Looks like an attempted carjacking, not anything resembling an arrest.

They ask for badges and the guy silently puts on black gloves?

Reform Jewish Movement Statement on Starvation in Gaza July 27, 2025 - The ongoing crisis in Gaza is a devastating reminder of the immense human cost of war. Nearly two years into Israel's war against Hamas, Israelis are still waiting for the return of their loved ones held hostage, and innocent Palestinians are caught in a mounting humanitarian catastrophe. Hamas has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to sacrifice the Palestinian people in its pursuit of Israel's destruction, but Israel must not sacrifice its own moral standing in return. Neither escalating military pressure nor restricting humanitarian aid has brought Israel closer to securing a hostage deal or ending the war. While long-delayed and not-yet-certain to be more effective than previous efforts, we are encouraged by Saturday night's announcement that the Israeli military would revive the practice of dropping aid from airplanes and make it easier for aid convoys, including those from the UN's World Food Program, to move through Gaza along "designated humanitarian corridors," and to temporarily cease fighting in Gaza for a humanitarian pause. No one should be unaffected by the pervasive hunger experienced by thousands of Gazans. No one should spend the bulk of their time arguing technical definitions between starvation and pervasive hunger. The situation is dire, and it is deadly. Nor should we accept arguments that because Hamas is the primary reason many Gazans are either starving or on the verge of starving, that the Jewish State is not also culpable in this human disaster. The primary moral response must begin with anguished hearts in the face of such a large-scale human tragedy. Our tradition teaches that all people are created b tzelem Elohim — in the image of God. One consequence of this is the moral priority, which is affirmed throughout the Bible and rabbinic tradition, of feeding the hungry - both for the individual and for the self-governing Jewish community. More than a few members of t…

Despite PM Netanyahu's calls to ignore these full members of his cabinet, their presence in this government has consistently morally compromised Israel's actions. Starving Gazan civilians neither will bring Israel the "total victory" over Hamas it seeks, nor can it be justified by Jewish values or humanitarian law. It's hard to imagine that this tragic approach will bring home the 50 remaining hostages, including the 20 who we pray are still alive. It's imperative that the Government of Israel ensures that the recently announced plans to deliver humanitarian aid succeed as Israel works with international partners to ensure its safe and sustained delivery and do whatever possible to reduce or eliminate the shootings and other injuries sustained at food distribution centers. We applaud Israel's green light for foreign nations to resume providing humanitarian aid to the Gaza population desperate for food and are confident that they will do all they can to ensure that such aid does not fall into the hands of Hamas. As Israel has effective control of 70% of Gaza, with the intent to remain in significant swaths of it, even if only temporarily, it should be directly involved, facilitate and cooperate with the international community, international humanitarian NGOs, and regional friends, to take urgently needed actions, such as these suggested by Israeli Reform rabbi and Member of Knesset Gilad Kariv: • To prevent the alarming number of civilian deaths in and around the food and humanitarian aid distribution sites. • Opening a significant number of food distribution centers at various locations across the Gaza Strip. • Large-scale entry of infant formula (especially liquid formula) and ensuring safe delivery to both functioning medical centers and the few remaining international aid facilities. • Establishing secure methods - potentially through cooperation with regional countries - for delivering food supplies to aid organizations and international agencies. • Resuming su…

Finally, while it is imperative that Israel and the U.S. resume diplomacy to bring home all hostages and end this war, denying basic humanitarian aid crosses a moral line. Blocking food, water, medicine, and power- especially for children- is indefensible. Let us not allow our grief to harden into indifference, nor our love for Israel to blind us to the cries of the vulnerable. Let us rise to the moral challenge of this moment.

Whatever it takes for tax cuts, and massive organized graft. Obedience to dear leader is worth any cost, right?

DHS Cancels Extreme Weather Comms Grant While Bodies Still Being Recovered in Texas As more than a hundred fatalities have been confirmed in Texas flash...

NEW: Sec. Noem has now admits "last mile" disaster communications weren't up to par in the Texas catastrophe. But while bodies were still being recovered on Tuesday DHS canceled a $3 million grant focused on improving precisely those kinds of "last mile" comms. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dhs-c...

At the DeSantis Everglades detention camp, people with green cards are being held in terrible conditions, with maggots in the food, the lights kept on 24 hours a day, and delayed access to medicine.

One guy had his Bible taken and was told "here there is no right to religion."

@wired.com keeps breaking the news of this moment.

(Also, the number of bogus "controversy"/ "faces scrutiny" stories they have generated, or tolerated? I can't think of any — in contrast to some other big-time news orgs.)

Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

"The Nazis... imagined their targets would self-deport. Once the myth of self-deportation collapsed, they turned to more punitive measures. On Tuesday, Noem similarly noted the Everglades camp was meant to frighten immigrants into self-deporting. 'If you don’t,' she said, 'you may end up here.'"
