Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected. Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.

WURD, the Black-owned Pennsylvania radio station that landed the first interview with President Joe Biden after the presidential debate, said on Sunday it had parted ways with the host who interviewed him. The station said the host, Andrea Lawful-Sanders, had arranged the interview “without knowledge, consultation or collaboration with WURD management,” and violated the station’s independence by taking questions from the White House. The station also subtly called out the White House for the practice, arguing it contributes to a historical cycle of marginalizing Black voices. “This practice of de-legitimizing Black voices continues today,” the station said. “WURD Radio is not a mouthpiece for the Biden or any other Administration. Internally, we will commit to reviewing our policies, procedures, and practices to reinforce WURD’s independence and trust with our listeners. But mainstream media should do its own introspection to explore how they have lost the trust of so many Americans, Black Americans chief among them.”Read it at WURDRead more at The Daily Beast.
