Add Cincinnati to the rapidly expanding list of cities where homeless students sleep in parking lots because their families can't afford a place to live.

www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

Headline: "Cincinnati Public Schools' homeless student sleep lot is first in Ohio, says coalition"
By Grace Tucker and Elizabeth B. Kim
Cincinnati Enquirer

"There are now so many families living out of their cars in Cincinnati that the city's school district is opening a parking lot for them to have a safe place to stay overnight."

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.

i think it's likely the "Trail Fund Crew", a group related to the Appalachian Mountains Club that works on trails across the country. It was founded in 1919, and tends to use iconography close to that logo: www.amctca.com

2002 is at the bottom of the tatt

Trail Crew Association - Association, Trail Building

Association serving the AMC Trail Building Crew and Caretakers since 1919.

This lawsuit, which demands that the House of Representatives finally seat Rep. Adelita Grijalva, has, um, fairly major implications for our democracy's survival in 2026 and beyond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This case is about whether someone duly elected to the House – who indisputably
meets the constitutional qualifications of the office – may be denied her rightful office simply
because the Speaker has decided to keep the House out of “regular session.”
2. If the Speaker were granted that authority, he could thwart the peoples’ choice of
who should represent them in Congress by denying them representation for a significant portion
of the two-year term provided by the Constitution.
3. Fortunately, the Constitution does not give that authority to the Speaker—or anyone
else

look I'm rotting my brain here with everyone else but I have enough of it left to recognize that Online people's sense of what is "normal" is breaking. just weeks ago a Black pundit was describing leaving places where people use the N-word liberally as an abdication of politics

I know that it’s a very Bluesky thing to assess the problems as being from overexposure to X, The Everything App, but I really do think a major driver of this is the young men that are most visible to Dem policy elites and podcasters are from there, or swim in those waters as well.

So, imagine a 2028 that ends with a normal election and a Democratic president.

Does that president punish CBS? Does he kick it out of the Brady room's front row? Does his FCC go after its licenses? Does his FTC probe the Skydance deal?

No, probably not. No fear of reprisal if power shifts back.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 15d

Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.

let's fire an unpopular take, while we're here. in 2025, a substantial percentage, perhaps a supermajority of claims to be "working class" are actually a sort of Foucauldian jostle for - ironically - power, an attempt to legitimise your actions through the cosplay of being the Right Kind of Person

What's "small" here is John Fetterman, a person so weak of mind and devoid of principles, so used to the lazy grift he switched to after winning office, that he won't even criticize corruption so brazen it has no parallel in American history, the President literally paying himself a fortune.

Fetterman describes Trump trying to steal $230 million from taxpayers as "small ball, and I think we have much bigger problems than worrying about those things."
