The most crucial thing for ppl to understand about the majority of people living on the streets:
Almost all of them are on some form of wait list for housing/rehab.
There is less than 1 shelter bed per 3 people that need them.
The ratio is worse for perm. affordable housing.

Working together with Councilwoman Traci Park, we’ve helped move hundreds of people off the streets and into housing. Thank you Traci, for your partnership and commitment to getting things done! As we look ahead to the 2028 Olympics, there’s more work to do together to get our city ready. Let’s keep the progress going, vote on or before November 3rd!

Hundreds of students at Detroit School of Arts and Lewis Cass Technical High School walked out of classes and marched to downtown's Little Caesars Arena, demanding answers for the family of Nolan Wells.
Wells was an 18-year-old college football player who was found dead off the Mississippi coast after a July Fourth boat trip with his friends.
A grand jury declined to bring charges in the case in September, finding Wells’s death consistent with drowning. His family has rejected that ruling, as the state autopsy revealed bruising on the back of Wells’s head and did not show water in his lungs or stomach.
Calls for a federal investigation into Wells's death have spread across the US, from walkouts at HBCUs and other Southern campuses to mass rallies in Atlanta and New York.

Former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul has accused Donald Trump of raping her at New York’s Plaza Hotel in November 1993.
Keul alleges Trump grabbed her from behind, ripped off her dress and raped her, leaving bruises all over her body. She described the alleged attack to the House Judiciary Committee as “brutal.”
She also alleges Trump pressured her to stay silent by promising to help her obtain a US visa and gain admission to NYU. She claims Jeffrey Epstein made similar promises and invited her to Mar-a-Lago.

Mayor Bass is now calling for an "outside the city, independent audit" of LADWP utility rates, which have been pretty high recently....
... and this comes a week after her challenger in the mayor’s race, Council member Nithya Raman, called for an audit. squawkbox.la/i/221367461/nit…

Our free buses mean an elderly woman living in her destroyed home near the yellow-line in Beit Lahia can still reach a doctor's appointment 45 minutes away. Please help here: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…
They mean families can remain steadfast on their land without being completely cut off from medical care, food, and other essential services.
For Palestinians living in isolated and devastated areas of Gaza, transportation is more than getting from one place to another. It is the difference between accessing care and going without it.
Here, an elderly woman describes the difficulties of finding transportation so close to the yellow line. The Sameer Project's free buses help ensure that remaining on your land does not mean being abandoned without access to basic necessities.
Steadfastness requires support. Help us keep our buses running and our communities connected. Give to our General Fund: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…

NYC Parks threatened to call the NYPD on elders, moms with kids, neighbors with pets, during BXMA’s free food distro.

This has been obvious for a long time. Lol.
Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist?
"I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people."
She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish police, prisons and the Senate.

Concerned residents packed the Utah County Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday after it unanimously approved a widely unpopular data center ordinance without allowing public comment.
Police quickly moved on concerned residents – including swarming one young woman, dragging her out of the room, and slamming her onto the ground. The woman was left with a concussion and a bruised and swollen jaw. She spent the night in the ER after being released from jail.
An emergency rally was called for Wednesday in response to the brutality. Community members are demanding the termination, arrest, and prosecution of the offending officer – identified as Phil Crawford.
