Policy History; Current Trouble. Cambridge, MA
We learned that navigating the Section 8 #Housing Choice Voucher process is riddled with information gaps.
So, we reported a crowdsourced (and deeply-vetted) guide on how to get through the system, and also made it available in Spanish: https://propub.li/4eYODSE
@atrupar It's the Propaganda!

I love it, too. It's a fairly recent building, but we do have some lovely Richardson architecture here. Much good inspiration.

Makes me even more pleased that the Tester campaign is one I recently donated to.
It is not postal mailing that matters -- it is GOTV work, by actual people, in person & via phone & rides to polls. Harris GOTV reportedly is superior to R Gotv esp in swing states.

Thank you, Jimmy Carter. Made it past 100 to vote for Harris!

Who wants to put their time and energy into getting Democratic voters to the polls? I signed up with RideShare2Vote - you travel on your own dime and drive folks to vote.
Transportation should never be a barrier to voting. But somewhere around 15% of eligible voters nationwide do not get to vote because of various transportation problems. RideShare2Vote has been working to get people to the polls since 2019.
You can sign up (they train you) or donate.

When retired Gen. Mark Milley described Trump as a "fascist," he helped spark an unexpected public conversation.
His assessment has been endorsed in recent days by
- Liz Cheney
- Hillary Clinton
- at least one other retired general https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/clinton-cheney-endorsing-fascist-label-trump-rcna175472

I didn't know. Probably most don't know. But, I also didn't know of "Brave". I will not use it now that I do. Thanks.
Thank you, Lilly Ledbetter. https://www.npr.org/2024/10/15/nx-s1-5152584/activist-who-inspired-fair-pay-act-lilly-ledbetter-dies-at-86

Yup, I'm wondering, too. The video shows no useful info.

THIS is what “pro life” looks like:
“A decade after the Flint, Michigan, water crisis raised alarms about the continuing dangers of lead in tap water, Joe #Biden is setting a 10-year deadline for cities across the nation to replace their lead pipes, finalizing an aggressive approach aimed at ensuring that drinking water is safe for all Americans” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/08/biden-lead-pipes-drinking-water

I wonder how many "swing voters" know who Orban is...

Saw a beautiful vintage Mercedes sports car a couple of blocks away. Plate: "OHLORD".
I wondered how many would get it and how old they were.
Someone shared with me a really innovative site for presenting info on #Project2025. You choose what "I care about" from a drop-down list, click "Show me," and then the website describes how P25 will impact that area -- including PAGE NUMBERS from the actual document. Y'all know what to do.
@StillIRise1963 @capnthommo
No such thing. Exactly.
