Trans people are more likely to experience homelessness than others. Which means trans folks are impacted at a higher rate by new federal policies that target people living in precarious housing situations. In this episode, Imara speaks with Dr. Dilara Yarbrough, an Associate Professor of Criminal Justice Studies at San Francisco State University, who helps unpack Trump's recent crackdown on homeless encampments in D.C. and the larger systems at play. Then, Atlanta organizer Jamie Roberts shares how her group works to address the needs of trans people in the South and what has to happen to end homelessness overall.

In this episode of the REB Business Empowerment Showcase, REB deputy editor Emilie Lauer sits down with A Home for All chair and LJ Hooker CEO Christine Mikhael and committee member Natalie Hortz to discuss how the industry is coming together to address the nation's homelessness crisis. Mikhael and Hortz discuss the foundation's rapid progress, raising over $1 million in just two months, and highlight the often-overlooked realities of hidden homelessness, including couch surfing, living in cars, or moving between temporary accommodations. The conversation also delves into domestic and family violence as a key driver of homelessness, and how the foundation is carefully directing resources to make the most difference for women and children in need. The episode closes with a call to action for real estate professionals and beyond, exploring ways to get involved from fundraising and volunteering to immersive awareness events like "A Night Without Home".

Young men are in freefall — and society's paying the price. Scott Galloway is here to explain the data behind the collapse and offer potential solutions.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1250What We Discuss with Scott Galloway:Young men are experiencing an unprecedented decline, with higher rates of suicide, addiction, homelessness, and incarceration than any other demographic. Yet discussing this crisis triggers reflexive pushback, even though addressing it doesn't diminish the legitimate struggles women and minorities continue to face.When boys lose male role models through death, divorce, or abandonment, the outcomes are devastating. They become more likely to be incarcerated than graduate college, unlike girls, who maintain consistent outcomes in single-parent homes. Boys are neurologically and emotionally more fragile than we've been willing to admit.Elite universities have abandoned their mission as public servants and repositioned themselves as luxury brands, creating artificial scarcity that's pulling up the ladders of opportunity. America's ethos should be watering as many acorns as possible, not sorting teenagers into winners and losers at 18.The three drivers of romantic attraction for men are signaling resources, intellect (best communicated through humor), and kindness — and kindness is the most underleveraged. Women instinctively seek mates who'll protect them during vulnerability — being kind to strangers signals good character far more than being nice to her.Put away the scorecard in your relationships. Stop tracking who gave more and instead ask: what kind of friend, partner, or son do I want to be? The happiest people aren't those who are loved most, but those who find others who let them give the most love.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Last year, I wrote that it would be very hard to decrease the number of mentally ill homeless people in San Francisco. Commenters argued that no, it would be easy, just build more jails and mental hospitals. A year later, San Francisco feels safer. Visible homelessness is way down. But there wasn't enough time to build many more jails or mental hospitals. So what happened? Were we all wrong? Probably not. I only did a cursory investigation, and this is all low-confidence, but it looks like: There was a big decrease in tent encampments, because a series of court cases made it easier for cities to clear them. Most of the former campers are still homeless. They just don't have tents. There might have been a small decrease in overall homelessness, probably because of falling rents. Mayor Lurie claims to have a Plan To End Homelessness, but it's probably not responsible for the difference. Every city accuses every other city of shipping homeless people across their borders, but this probably doesn't explain most of what's going on in San Francisco in particular. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/what-happened-to-sf-homelessness

The Matt Kim Podcast: Homeless Machete Giveaway, Trump Endorsements, and Central CastingIn this episode of The Matt Kim Podcast, Matt Kim and his co-host Peter Satton dive into a series of controversial and provocative topics. The discussion begins with the idea that the world is a show and everything, including political figures, is staged — a notion famously declared by Trump. They boast about their track record of being consistently right about various issues. The podcast covers a range of subjects, including an update on Matt's life, observations about American entitlement at resorts, and the behavior at buffets. They then jump into heavier topics, such as the ongoing U.S. involvement in Venezuela, characterized as a regime change mission for oil resources, and criticize the military-industrial complex. They touch on domestic radicalization, false flag events, and whether America is more dangerous than other countries like Mexico. This episode also explores the manipulation of social media platforms by foreign entities, the controversial endorsement by Trump in Miami's mayoral race, and a humorous analysis of Trump Vodka and the potential upcoming Trump Phone. The show wraps up with a talk on homelessness, Japanese internet memes about America's fentanyl crisis, and the idea of arming the homeless with machetes. Enjoy this unpredictable mix of humor, satire, and critical social commentary.Timestamps02:14 Travel Stories and Observations03:03 American Entitlement at Resorts07:41 Cultural Critiques and International Travel11:28 Venezuela Conflict and US Involvement17:08 Radicalization and Domestic Issues24:14 Mass Shootings and Gun Violence in America42:14 Social Media Manipulation and Foreign Influence51:38 Marjorie Taylor Greene's Resignation and Trump's Reaction53:17 Candace Owens and the Conspiracy Theories54:42 The Entertainment Value of Political Figures58:30 Online Gambling and Its Legal Issues01:06:10 Trump's Various Business Ventures01:16:25 The Political Landscape and Trump's Endorsements01:31:10 Homelessness and Controversial Solutions01:36:09 International Perception of America's Drug Crisis====================================Support the show~Join the Free Thinker Army!https://www.patreon.com/c/freemattkim====================================The ONLY VPN that can't spy on you.https://vp.net/mattHang out here~!soj.ooO https://soj.ooo/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4rC0QxBD1eRPKMHIIpL0vA/joinDonate!https://www.mattkimpodcast.com/support/FREE THINKER ARMY DISCORD:https://discord.gg/2juHnR6DPzTELEGRAM EDIT ZONE:https://t.me/+IV-skn-OXyw1MTcxFollow Matt!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattattack009/Twitter: https://twitter.com/FreeMattKimRumble: https://rumble.com/c/FreeMattKimTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@freemattkimFollow Peter on X:Twitter: https://x.com/AgilePeterBusiness Inquiries Please Email mattkimpodcast@protonmail.com

The latest Department of Housing figures show 171 families were residing in emergency accommodation in this region in October, showing a rise of 34% in the last year.

Send us a textHey there, my friends — this week I'm coming to you with something simple… and something human.No outline.No strategy.Just us.I'm sharing a couple of stories —and reflecting on what service really means during this season. Not the big, heroic kind. The small, human, everyday kind. The kind that steadies us emotionally and reminds us who we want to be.We talk about dignity, compassion, emotional grounding, and why even tiny acts of kindness shift the nervous system in powerful ways (yes, the research backs this up). And I share what I'm personally choosing to do this week — something small, but from the heart.If you've ever wondered how service connects to our wellness, our mindset, and our Project Weight Loss path… this is the episode I hope you listen to.Quote of the Week:“Wherever you turn, you can find someone who needs you.” — Albert SchweitzerCitations:Raposa, E.

The “Blanket of Love” That Changed Everything w/Geoffrey Blaylock | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, we dig deep into the wild, emotional, and brutally honest life story of Geoffrey Blaylock, tracing his path from a childhood marked by Tourette's and isolation to the gang-ridden streets where he searched for identity, connection, and escape. Geoffrey opens up about the first moments drugs entered his life, how heroin slowly rewired everything he thought he could control, and the dangerous world he got pulled into—crime, violence, homelessness, and the kind of chaos most people don't survive. He also shares the spiritual encounter that stopped him in his tracks, the breaking point that forced him to confront who he'd become, and the long, uncomfortable rebuild through detox, recovery, self-awareness, and learning to lead others. It's raw, gripping, and vulnerable, offering a rare look into not just addiction, but what it takes to claw your way back from absolute rock bottom.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

The Denver metro area has two mayors named Mike who have made homelessness a top priority. Johnston, the Denver liberal, has pursued a “housing first” strategy as he attempts to end unsheltered homelessness in our city, but recently he's been branching out, including a proposal for $11 million to fund a new street ambassador program. Coffman, the Aurora conservative, just opened a new shelter with a support model that features a twist on his “work first” approach. Denverite's Kyle Harris has reported on both, and he's on today with host Bree Davies to compare and contrast.

Federal funding for permanent housing is about to plummet, Joby Aviation takes flight at the Dubai Air Show, Monterey and Santa Cruz counties trudge slowly toward battery storage regulation, and more in this week's local news roundup.

On this special episode, WHQR's Aaleah McConnell shares the highlights and throughlines of a wide-ranging panel on Wilmington's new anti-camping ordinance and the issue of homelessness.

Tish is solo this week and absolutely thriving because she finally gets to sit down with her Love Island favorite… Chelley! Chelley opens up about growing up in and out of shelters, how her childhood shaped everything about who she is now, and how she somehow stayed so positive through all of it. Then Tish gets straight to the villa tea: the edits, the rankings, the friendships, the unseen chaos, cartwheels, and the toenail incident. She also talks about Ace (Tish's other fave), what was actually real, and how she protected her mental health while the internet made up their own story about her. It's emotional, funny, and so honest. If you loved Chelley before, you're about to be obsessed. And if you were part of America who voted her low… you're about to say sorry.Follow Chelley: @_slimthinFollow Your Hosts: @SorryWereCyrus@TishCyrusPurcell@BrandiCyrusThank you to our incredible sponsors:Dupe.com: Go to Dupe.com today and make your holiday shopping so much easier.

If you haven't heard the first three conversations I recorded with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, go listen to those now!In Part 4 of my conversation with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, we pick up right where we left off: Pushing past the polite version of leadership and getting into the messy, uncomfortable truth.We talk about what really happens behind the scenes when someone climbs the ranks in the military… the jealousy, the backstabbing, the politics, and the weight of responsibility that nobody outside the uniform sees. Max opens up about becoming a general, losing friends in the process, and why firing people (even people he loved) broke his heart.Then we go straight into the topics everyone tiptoes around: Memphis. Chicago. Crime. National Guard deployments. Veterans. Homelessness. The VA system. Unions. Bureaucracy. What's getting better, what's getting worse, and what flat-out pisses us off.If you've been listening to Parts 1–3, you already know: Max doesn't sugarcoat anything, and I'm not here to interrupt him with polite talking points. I'm here to ask the questions most people are too scared to ask, and he answers them with the honesty of someone who's actually lived it.This conversation isn't meant to change your mind, but it is meant to challenge your thinking. Take what resonates, question what doesn't, and let's get into it.- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

Dr James Loxton on how modern democracies can crumble as tyrannical leaders take hold, but also how freedom and democracy can rise again, from the Americas to Europe and into Asia.James grew up in stable Canada, where he spent his summers herding sheep in the middle of forest plantations.As a teenager, he hatched a plan to escape his "rough as guts" bush town and the life of a shepherd, moving to India on his own to finish high school.At an international school in Maharashtra, James' classmates taught him about the world outside of democratic Canada, and he became fascinated by military dictatorships and guerilla insurgencies. Later on, years of living in Latin America showed him firsthand how dictators operated, how they are feared and hated, but also revered and loved by some of the people they control.Now James, and many other political scientists, have their eyes turned to America, watching closely to see how the world's most powerful democracy is changing right before our eyes.Authoritarianism: A Very Short Introduction is published by Oxford University Press.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores Donald Trump, Putin, USA, regime, dictators, ICE, Clinton, Epstein, politics, democracy, Chilean presidential election, Russia, China, Taiwan, Philippines, government, globalisation, Latin American politics, Whitlam, dismissal, divisive politics, left versus right, parliamentary versus presidential forms of government, united kingdom, British colonies, Javier Milei, Venezuela, Argentina, Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, Maduro, elitism, drain the swamp, populism, power for the people, tariffs, Peru, Cuba, straw man, Stalin, Hitler, competitive authoritarianism, substance abuse, addiction, alcoholism, alcoholic mothers, homelessness, losing a mother.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.
