#1🧵 — #Homelessness in America is at an all-time high. This overview explains the economic systemic root causes, who is affected, & the solutions to end it. #youth #veterans #housing #EndHomelessnessendhomelessness.org/overview/ #2🧵 — 📌 The Reality of #Homelessness
“Homelessness is one of America’s most visible yet least understood challenges. It affects people from all walks of life who struggle due to economic hardship, lack of affordable #housing, or other systemic barriers. The reality is that most people are forced into homelessness by circumstances beyond their control. The solutions lie in systemic changes, not quick fixes.”

📌 Who Experiences Homelessness?
“Anyone can experience homelessness. And while every person faces unique challenges, all people experiencing homelessness are impacted by systemic issues like the lack of affordable housing & inadequate incomes.” #AffordableHousing #EndHomelessness

These are highlights from a July 2025 report from the Government Accounting Office (#GAO) about timely #military discharge upgrade decisions.

MILITARY DISCHARGE: Actions Needed to Help Ensure Consistent & Timely Upgrade Decisions
📌GAO Found Service members separated from the military without an honorable discharge can apply to a post-separation review board for a possible discharge upgrade due to a potential error or injustice in the process.

📌In 2014 & 2017, the Department of #Defense (DOD) directed these boards to give “liberal consideration” to applications from veterans with a qualifying mental health condition, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or an experience of sexual #harassment or sexual assault connected to their service.

📌 DODs’ post-separation review boards have implemented liberal consideration &, from January 2018 through March 2024, applied it to more than 21,000 discharge upgrade cases. The rates of discharge upgrades granted ranged from 18 to 49% among the boards. gao.gov/assets/gao-25-… #veterans #PTSD #MST #MilitarySexualTrauma #BadPaper In July 2025, the Government Accounting Office (#GAO) published a 95-page report about timely #military discharge upgrade decisions. It included 9️⃣ recommendations. Here’s the link.👇

#1🧵I received a copy of #RichardAllen's probable cause affidavit (PCA) from a government employee a few months ago. It was only 7 pages. While it had the missing page 8, but it was inexplicably missing a page in the middle. The pages aren't numbered like the redacted version that was released to the public. But the language is the same. I cannot explain these discrepancies.

I've spent months trying to track down the complete PCA & find out why page 8 was missing. I don't know if it was purposely withheld or if it was withheld by mistake. I haven't been able to get answers from Carroll County or Allen County. I'm going to post the copy I received & the redacted copy released by the so you can compare them.

These are my takeaways:
#1 The PCA was signed by then-Carroll County Sheriff's Deputy Tony Liggett & dated Oct. 27, 2022.
#2 "Investigators believe Richard M. Allen committed this kidnapping which resulted in the killing of Victim 1 and Victim 2."
#3 Tony Liggett's name was redacted from page 7 of the original PCA.

Carroll County Prosector Nick McLeland & Indiana State Police Lieutenant Jerry Holeman will appear on a panel at #CrimeCon2025 called From Tragedy to Justice: Inside the Delphi Investigation and Prosecution.

"In 2017, the tragic murders of Abby Williams and Liberty German shook the small community of Delphi, Indiana, and captured national attention. From the earliest days of the investigation, the Indiana State Police and the Carroll County Prosecutor’s Office vowed to deliver justice."

"In 2022, an arrest brought new hope, and two years later, a conviction and 130-year prison sentence closed one of the most closely watched cases in recent history. Lead investigator Lt. Jerry Holeman and Carroll County Prosecutor Nick McLeland take you inside the case, from the relentless search for a suspect to the strategy and evidence that secured a guilty verdict." crimecon2025.sched.com/event/27Wb3/fr… #CrimeCon #Delphi #DelphiMurders #DelphiTrial #RichardAllen #RichardAllenTrial

Note the last paragraph in Carroll County Prosector Nick McLeland's #CrimeCon2025 bio says the following:

"On January 1st, 2018, Nicholas, with the help of law enforcement, began diving into the investigation to find the killers of Abigail Williams and Liberty German. In October 2022, Richard Allen was arrested and prosecuted for the murder of Abby and Libby. Throughout the next 2 years, Nicholas, with the help of Stacey Diener and Jim Luttrul, fought off shady defense, tactics, intentional evidentiary leaks by the defense, including leaks of the crime scene photos and an all out effort by the defense to have this trial in the public media."

"Throughout that adversity, on November 11th, 2024, Nicholas, with the help of Stacey Diener and Jim Luttrul, successfully prosecuted and convicted Richard Allen for the murders of Abby and Libby. On December 20th, 2024, through the tireless efforts of Nicholas, Stacey and Jim, Richard Allen was sentenced to 130 years in the Indiana Department of Corrections for his crimes." crimecon2025.sched.com/speaker/nick_m… #CrimeCon #Delphi #DelphiMurders #DelphiTrial #RichardAllen #RichardAllenTrial

@CrimeCon announced they will have a #Delphi panel at this year’s event. The email announcement says: “Few cases have touched the true crime community as deeply as the loss of Abby Williams and Libby German. This year, we are honored to welcome back their loved ones—Becky Patty, Tara German, Josh Lank, and Anna Williams—as they return to the CrimeCon stage to share their journey, their heartbreak, and their unshakable fight for justice.

They’ll be joined by Lieutenant Jerry Holeman, one of the original investigators on the case, and longtime friend and journalist Susan Hendricks, who will moderate the conversation.

This powerful session will explore how the families continue to fight for truth, remembrance, and justice—while carrying forward the legacies of Abby and Libby.” #CrimeCon #CrimeCon2025 @CrimeCon This is a list of #CrimeCon2025 speakers. #CrimeCon

@cledocmenters selected me for their 1st #Parma City Council assignment. @signalcleveland published my notes. “Proposed bill & state cuts could be ‘almost like Armageddon,’ Parma state lawmaker says.” CC: @BrennanforOhio & @ParmaMayor signalcleveland.org/ohio-cuts-woul… It was the most challenging meeting I’ve ever covered because 1 #Parma City Council meeting was actually 8 separate meetings.

1#🧵 — “#Marines continue to make female #infantry officers, with little fanfare” — story by @MarineTimes reporter @HopeSeck
I’m copying & pasting Hope Hodge Seck’s story in this thread🧵. #USMC #MarineCorps #WomenMarines #military #MilitaryWomen #trailblazersmarinecorpstimes.com/news/your-mari… 2#🧵“Marine 1st Lt. Marina Hierl made national headlines in 2017 when she became the first woman to graduate the Marine Corps’ Infantry Officer Course in Quantico, Virginia, earning the 0302 Infantry Officer military occupational specialty in the process.

Not only was Hierl the first woman in an MOS that had been restricted to men just 2 years earlier; she had also made it through the grueling 13 weeks of IOC, a feat of physicality and endurance that many previously thought was beyond the capability of women.

But since then, even without the press releases and news profiles, women have continued to graduate from IOC in small, but consistent, numbers.

According to data from the last 4 years provided to Marine Corps Times, women are now making it through the course with a success rate of better than 50%, though the number of volunteers opting to attend IOC remains low. The course attrition and redesignation rate for male officers, meanwhile, has at times been as high as 25%.” #USMC #MarineCorps #WomenMarines #military #MilitaryWomen #trailblazers

LEGISLATION CALLS FOR IMPROVED MENTAL HEALTH CARE, OUTREACH FOR WOMEN #VETERANS #suicide #SuicidePrevention #WomenVets #WomenVeterans #healthcare #MentalHealth via @DAVHQdav.org/learn-more/new… The legislation introduced by #Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee (@SVACDems) Chairman @SenatorTester calls for the following:
•A study on the effectiveness of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) #suicideprevention & #mentalhealth outreach programs for women #veterans
•A modification of VA’s algorithm used to predict high-risk for #suicide among veterans to incorporate risk factors weighted for #womenveterans, such as #military sexual #trauma @senate
•A review & report on reintegration & readjustment services for veterans & family members in group retreat settings

“It comes on the heels of @DAVHQ’s special report, Women Veterans: The Journey to Mental Wellness, & includes provisions based on several of #DAV’s recommendations.”

“Data released by VA last year showed there was a nearly 25% increase in suicide among women veterans between 2020 & 2021. Women Veterans: The Journey to Mental #Wellness is one of most comprehensive assessments of the unique factors contributing to the staggering rates of suicide among women veterans & how the system charged with their mental #healthcare can & must do better.” #MST #MilitarySexualTrauma
