Judge Halts Trump Admin’s Attempt to Withhold HUD Funds From Cambridge

Once More The Battle Ends up in the Court over Trump Administrative Overreach.

The ruling comes after Cambridge joined more than 30 other towns, cities, and counties in a lawsuit against U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner. The lawsuit argues that adoption of certain policies “in exchange for Continuum of Care funds is an abuse of executive power and violates the Constitution and federal laws,” according to a city statement.

Now imagine if Mastodon didn’t exist and this was happening.…

Aren’t we lucky that some guy in Germany decided to spend his own time, money, and effort to build it?

Hopefully we’ll get lucky again…

Or, you know, maybe we can finally consider supporting tech that’s in the common good from the common purse. And fund organisations and long-term development, not just ad-hoc academic “projects” that get abandoned the moment the money is gone.
