People experiencing lack of housing are “average” people They are not some mutant strain of human being They are just people… who experienced one thing too many and couldn’t bounce back

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

Ohio continues to be #1 in public corruption.

If you know these content creators please ask them to stop harassing the community. People facing ethnic cleansing don’t want to be “content.”

I keep seeing posts going "when ICE comes to MY city, we'll be out in the streets even harder" and man, I get that sentiment but I need everyone to understand that the work in Minneapolis is partly confrontational but MORE IMPORTANTLY aaallll the stuff organized in the background to help neighbors

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.

“Real World” Ramaswamy. BTW, the same guy who calls Ohioans lazy is the guy who just took a private jet flight from Columbus to Cleveland. #fridaynightflights

Mamdani concentrated on things he could do as Mayor of NYC. He proposed solutions to address housing affordability and grocery deserts rather than posting messaging about the price of eggs. Schumer has a different job, and he's not even suggesting anything concrete to address affordability.

In Ohio, 75 out of 88 counties are mental health shortage areas, according to new study ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/13/i...

Jan. 17, 1926: Benito Mussolini says anti-Fascist members will no longer be permitted to attend Parliament sessions unless they renounce their “absurd” and “die-hard” opposition to his rule. A day earlier members of his party had assaulted the opponents and chased them out.

It’s not too late to get your flu shot!

This isn't housing policy per se, but in a city where infant care averages $26k a year, universal child care would function as a massive, de facto housing subsidy—freeing up roughly $2,100 a month for rent. More politicians need to grasp this: when it comes to "affordability," it's all connected.

this system is fucking atrocious, it's actually a bunch of interconnected systems of power and it took 600 years for these people to get this entrenched and powerful and that's with constant opposition in one form or another it's a generational struggle you just need to stay plugged in and work

Five years ago.

Federal judge temporarily blocks HUD permanent housing cuts for homeless

Bipartisan lawmakers from Ohio and Iowa have introduced legislation to the U.S. House of Representatives aimed at increasing housing access and affordability for college students ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/12/18/o...

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

I feel awful for our expert civil servants who faithfully served our country only to be fired by unqualified, uncaring, irresponsible men who couldn't even make it one year doing government work. Looking at you Elon and Bongino.

Gender-affirming care for youth is just simple medical care. It isn’t political, it’s not radical. It is small-c conservative care that is what is recommended by doctors to protect the health and lives of kids and teenagers. Please protect trans kids.

Always remember.

Injustice makes the rules and courage breaks them.

Ummm . . . . Migrants are building houses here—not buying them. You know who is buying them and running prices up? Billionaires. Institutional Investors. Hedge Funds.

NEWS: Trump's HUD has WITHDRAWN - at least for now - its controversial plan to overhaul the Continuum of Care program, per court filing and new website notice. Agency had previously announced significant cuts to long-term housing support, prompting lawsuits. 1/2

I don’t understand why so many Democrats seem convinced that they can win over Republican voters. Those voters like Republicans and vote for them because they like their wretched policies. They do not want the diet version

It’s going to be a Derfcember to Remember! (Yes I have listened to this ep three times since Wednesday.)

Homelessness in the U.S. is far more pervasive than the official figures suggest: roughly four million people are without housing right now. Many are part of the low-wage labor force, powering the very economy that has abandoned them. I spoke with PBS News about this devastating reality (Part 1):

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

From the Washington Attorney General's Office: "The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is illegally upending supports for tens of thousands of Americans experiencing housing insecurity or homelessness..." www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-re...

NEW: We're suing the Trump Administration yet again to protect affordable housing. I just filed a lawsuit to challenge the Trump Administration’s decision to unlawfully cut over $100 million used to provide access to housing for our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

ICYMI: I spoke with CBS Sunday Morning about my book, There Is No Place for Us, alongside the families whose desperate efforts to secure housing the book follows—people working nonstop and still being pushed into homelessness.

Times are definitely difficult but I do hope some of you take at least a few hours to enjoy something over the weekend. It's really important in order to stay in the struggle.

A wonderful chance for me to meet Dr. Amy Acton, a physician with great ideas and a great story who is running for governor of Ohio. Please watch the video! @amyactonoh.bsky.social snyder.substack.com/p/conversati...

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.

@eric-hauter.bsky.social why did this make me think of you?

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

True story

Many employees of the Whitehouse are making the risky calculation ... that you have a political career beyond the moment where you are covering up for a pedophile or at bare minimum the best friend of a pedophile ... I want you to understand... you don't come back from this

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

i find myself being extra brutally honest about who we are as a country to counter the cloying hagiography about how we're better than this. 1/2

Today @ 1pm ET: Permanent Supportive Housing can be an effective way to reduce homelessness, but providers often lack the real-time data needed to track vacancies and quickly move people into units. A new study outlines strategies to get people into homes faster. mailchi.mp/harvard/perm...
