Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:20 GMT

The Los Gatos Anti-Racism Coalition is launching a rental assistance program to provide emergency support to neighbors across the Bay Area who are at risk of eviction.Coalition founder Jeff Suzuki said the housing crisis has made the area even less socioeconomically and racially diverse, and has made some residents more at risk for homelessness.“When we started this program, we asked the question: If we had $1 to spend right now, where would it be the most effective in preventing additional cases of homelessness?” Suzuki said. “These are people who are living check to check where an unexpected increase in their expenditures might actually put them out on the street. And that’s the reality of a lot of people who become homeless.”A study from University of California San Francisco that surveyed homeless people across the state found that 70% of those surveyed believed a monthly payment of $300-$500 would have prevented their homelessness.Taking that idea, the coalition aims to i...

ANÁLISIS | 36 horas extrañas y caóticas en Rusia parecen el principio del fin para Putin

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:20 GMT

(CNN) — Al proyectar desesperadamente que todo sigue como antes, el Kremlin no hace sino subrayar lo mucho que cambió.Fueron 36 horas que permitieron vislumbrar el final del gobierno del presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin. Casi todas las acciones eran improbables, en el mejor de los casos, hace una semana; muchas eran inconcebibles, hace 17 meses.Un partidario leal critica la premisa de la invasión, luego afirma que un ataque aéreo tuvo como objetivo a sus propios soldados, antes de tomar una importante ciudad militar sin enfrentamientos, dijo Prigozhin, y luego avanza a unos cientos de kilómetros de Moscú. Pero, de repente, da marcha atrás para evitar el derramamiento de sangre, ya que el Kremlin afirma que Alexander Lukashenko, el presidente de Belarús, a quien Putin parece tratar con desprecio, medió en un dramático indulto, en el que el insurrecto que tiene sus fuerzas destinadas a Moscú, opta ahora por el exilio en Minsk.Incluso cuando el polvo se asienta, sigue teniendo...

With Russia revolt over, mercenaries' future and direction of Ukraine war remain uncertain

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:20 GMT

Russian government troops withdrew from the streets of Moscow on Sunday and the rebellious mercenary soldiers who had occupied other cities were gone, but the short-lived revolt has weakened President Vladimir Putin just as his forces are facing a fierce counteroffensive in Ukraine.The aborted march on the capital by Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner troops, some of the most effective fighters in Ukraine, also left their fate uncertain.Under terms of the agreement that ended the crisis, Prigozhin will go into exile in Belarus but will not face prosecution. Neither Putin nor Prigozhin has been heard from since the deal, brokered by Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko, was announced Saturday night. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken described the weekend’s events as “extraordinary,” recalling that 16 months ago Putin appeared poised to seize the capital of Ukraine and now he has had to defend Moscow from forces led by his onetime protege.“I think we’ve seen more cracks emerg...

Greene says it's 'unfortunate' Boebert 'leaked' House floor spat to press

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:20 GMT

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Sunday accused Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) of leaking their tense argument in the House chamber to the press, calling it "unfortunate" that she did so. “I find it unfortunate that Lauren Boebert leaked that conversation that we had to the press. But once she leaked it out, I had to confirm that that's, in fact, what I said,” Greene said in an interview on Fox News’s “MediaBuzz” with Howard Kurtz.The Daily Beast first reported the argument between the two conservative lawmakers, citing two sources that saw the exchange and a third who was familiar with the matter. Greene confirmed the story later to reporters in which she called Boebert a “little bitch” after the Colorado lawmaker sought to force a vote on her impeachment resolution against President Biden. Since the sources in The Daily Beast story are unnamed, there is no evidence that Boebert "leaked" the story. When reached for comment by the publication, neither lawmaker de...
