This is a mixed blessing. SROs are *absolutely wonderful* for singletons who just want to have a place to bunk with a key to lock, but if they are being viewed as a solution to the *family* housing shortage, this is a potential disaster.
From NYT Metro:

There is a push to revive single-room occupancy housing, where kitchens and bathrooms are shared among apartments as small as 100 square feet each.

Oh, FFS. This is not the cold war, you idiot Democrats who can't see that "socialism" is a large umbrella term with various systems under it, most of which are *more* effective than American capitalism.
House votes to denounce ‘horrors’ of socialism ahead of Mamdani-Trump meeting
House votes to denounce ‘horrors’ of socialism ahead of Mamdani-Trump meeting
The House voted 285-98 to approve a resolution condemning the “horrors of socialism” Friday morning, just hours before President Donald Trump is set to meet with New York’s incoming democratic socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani. Eighty-six Democrats joined with Republicans to approve the measure. Two others voted present. No Republican voted to oppose it. Speaker Mike Johnson and House GOP leaders have decried Mamdani’s election as the next mayor of the country’s largest city, citing his left-wing politics and arguing he is the new, radical face of the Democratic Party. They’ve vowed to make him a centerpiece of their attacks against Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Democrats on Capitol Hill have dismissed the Republicans broadsides over Mamdani, and party leaders criticized the GOP-written measure ahead of Friday’s vote, saying it “selectively lists certain despotic leaders and the harms of totalitarian regimes self-labeled as ‘socialist.’” They did not, however, formally recommend a no vote. A swath of moderate Democrats, especially from New York, are uncomfortable with Mamdani’s rise in their party. The debate over the symbolic measure was derailed for about 10 minutes after Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fla.) verbally attacked Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on the floor, accusing her of being a “friend” of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro despite traveling to the country and seeing the abuses of his regime. Waters asked for Salazar’s words to be taken down, but Salazer instead withdrew her remarks, allowing the debate to continue.

Yeah, this vote didn't go the way Trump wanted it to. This is the turning point we've been looking for. They're not afraid enough of him anymore for him to dominate them.

It does look like the GOP has done the calculations and have realized that Trump is now costing them more than he's gaining them. and it was always a transactional relationship.

As ICE detention numbers creep upward, some advocates are worried that detainees could be compelled to work to fill gaps in the workforce of some of the most dangerous jobs in the country, including on factory farms and in slaughterhouses.

Well, well, well. If it isn't the system of checks and balances. We've missed you, buddy! Long story somewhat short: ICE has been terrible for years, but it's been much worse under Trump. During Trump's first regime (~2016-2020), ICE got rocked by a court decision that prevented it from engaging in traffic stops just so it could arrest people for looking vaguely Mexican.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

This : Too many people in or running for political office are unwilling to grapple with the racism at the core of US "conservatism" and therefore miss the mark by a MILE.
They gotta get hip to antiblackness as this country's program if they're serious about fighting fascism. It's a trickle down effect, the point of America is for Black people to suffer & our suffering trickles down.

Notice here that everyone shows concern except Trump. Its not clear that Trump even understands, as his posture is rigid and his face is blank. But Trump has historically never been able to show sympathy for people experiencing a medical emergency in his presence.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.

It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.
Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

A reminder: If you have minor children and are planning to attend protests, make sure that a trusted friend or family member has a durable POA for medical and educational decisions and is willing to step in if you and your co-parent(s) get detained by ICE or other Feds.
