A handy list of companies supporting Project 2025.

HUD funds frozen! Our unhoused neighbors are in danger. Our housed neighbors with Rapid Rehousing and Permanent Supportive Housing vouchers are in danger. Our homelessness service systems are at risk. People will die without these funds. #hud #alt-gov #homelessness #poverty #altgov #socialwork

It has been over 5 weeks now

“It funds work that makes no sense like giving CT scans to homeless people” The research was to address the fact that unhoused people have a mortality rate for lung cancer that’s more than 2x that of housed people. CT is the gold standard for lung cancer screening. Doesn’t make sense to him, though

This is extortion of an ally: “The terms of the new proposal … call for Ukraine to relinquish half of its revenues from natural resources, including minerals, gas and oil, as well as earnings from ports and other infrastructure.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

“Community and economic development projects, disaster recovery efforts, and housing development across the country will be delayed and could come to a grinding halt”

Making housing more affordable by.... Destroying HUD?

REYES!!

From @naehomelessness.bsky.social today: "Today marks four weeks since HUD announced nearly $3.6 billion in Continuum of Care (CoC) program awards for nearly 7,000 projects across the country. Yet, it still has not taken steps to distribute this critical funding" /1

The department will cut employees in the offices that enforce civil rights laws, compile data about the housing market, and pay to rebuild communities after disasters. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...

Russia’s military used a drone with a high-explosive warhead to hit the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine overnight, damaging the protective shelter that prevents radiation leaks, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said.

Under President Biden, a 30-day eviction notice rule was made permanent. A new bill would erase it and landlords would be allowed to give tenants in federally-subsidized housing three days’ notice or less before evicting them. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/r...

Medicaid work requirements could strip healthcare from low-income women, who already shoulder a disproportionate amount of family caregiving responsibilities, often while managing their own chronic health conditions.

The Trump Administration wants to undo generations of progress in addressing racial discrimination against Black people. No matter what, we will always fight for a version of “We the People” that includes everyone.

BREAKING: There has been yet another plane crash, now in Arizona, Trump has imposed massive tariffs on aluminum and steel, and Trump suffers a big loss in court today. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Confirmation bias is one of the banned terms. I would laugh, but I can't.

🚨 JD Vance is now laying the groundwork to undo the separation of powers. This is extremely dangerous.

Your texts aren't secure. Consider changing all SMS based 2FA (anything that texts you a code when you sign in) to an authentication app and moving conversations with sensitive and private information to an encrypted service. I like signal and simplex more than whatsapp www.cisa.gov/resources-to...

This guy has a nice clean run down in the mornings and evenings. Good transcripts too if you're like me and prefer visual information. Helps me stay informed without doom scrolling and being blasted with misinformation and other people's fears (which are valid, but leads me to emotional exhaustion)

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

Affordable housing is a buzzword, and it doesn't always mean accessible. Affordability is area dependent. For example, Boulder County's median family income (MFI) is $148,000. 80% of MFI is six figures. Support affordable housing development that's really affordable!

In troublesome times, always remember that the Internet is full of people who won't fact check and will post AI summaries and articles full of anecdotes as the "sauce."

The distinction between vigilance and catastrophization is a delicate and difficult one, but absolutely crucial. Or at least that's what I try to tell myself after a lil spiral 🌪️
