cutting housing affordability fucks all of us except the oligarch class. mass displacement puts immense pressure on every other social system most of us rely on. if we didn't live in a police state, these sorts of cruel proposals would naturally be met with v****** resistance.

Andrew Cuomo, in addition to being a serial sexual harasser, knowingly sent people with Covid into old folks homes, leading to a massive rate of infection and death for the elderly.

Look I believe there is no act of resistance too small, but the story obfuscates that fact that Elon’s brown shirts still were provided unimpeded access to HUD data, which they are clearly sharing with predatory equity firms. www.wired.com/story/doge-h...

We need to face the reality that “mass deportation” is cover for “mass internment”. Their plan is not to export their labor, but to extract it.
New research @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows that mass deportations would likely worsen the housing shortage by decimating the labor force.
Immigrants make up >23% of the construction workforce & more in FL, TX. About half are estimated to be undocumented immigrants. www.urban.org/urban-wire/m...

It’s not a court—it’s an eviction mill.
A Harris County court had 800 eviction cases in one day. Is a solution possible?
So many eviction cases were scheduled for one day that tenants and landlords spilled out of the courthouse lobby into the subfreezing parking lot.

President Biden confirms the pardon for Hunter:
"…Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter ... In trying to break Hunter, they've tried to break me – and there's no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough."
