Noem at odds with Trump-appointed panel over future of FEMA
Instead of further shrinking and dismantling FEMA, the FEMA Review Council wants to make it more independent.

The real story of the upzoning debate in SF right now is that the mayor and the YIMBY supervisors don’t have the courage (or interest) to take on wealthy single family home owners in rich white neighborhoods (upzone Pac Heights, etc) so they are upzoning demolitions of rent controlled homes instead.

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning.
The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

How many more deaths of people walking and biking will we tolerate before we make our streets safer?
This is a crisis throughout the East Bay - a woman was killed in a hit-and-run while crossing an Antioch street yesterday.
We need to rapidly transform our streets to slow cars and protect people.

The data is pretty clear: paywalls are useless. They put needless barriers between readers and news sources. People either try to find the information available elsewhere for free, or give up and remain uninformed. Either way, the results aren’t great

Few Americans pay for news when they encounter paywalls
Among adults who have not paid for news in the past year, the most common reason they cite is that they can find plenty of other news articles for free.

sometimes it will just hit me that over a million americans died from covid in a short period of time and we never had a national mourning. we never collectively grieved. we never honored the dead. this feels like a failure
