MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

I keep thinking about Executive Order 9066 - Japanese (and Okinawan) Interment. The *hundreds of millions* - likely several billion in 2026 dollars - in property that was seized by the government, stolen by neighbors, damaged, looted, taken over, stolen from Japanese Americans & immigrants.
This is only a small aspect of the horror, but I doubt that the $190 on the commissary account plus whatever possessions they managed to bring into Dilley were all this family owned. What is happening to the money and possessions of deported immigrants?

So they drove a 2 mo old baby to the brink of death and then deported him as quickly as possible so Kristi Noem & DHS doesn’t get blowback if the child’s health worsens. Reminds me of what North Korea did to Otto Waimbier under Trump 1.0.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.
Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.
This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

still feel like I should get to sue the FCC for tricking me into watching this very "it happened" interview where no one even said anything shocking
~3M views in 18hrs. I’m sure there are some people who would’ve only watched it on the broadcast (they don’t use YT), but given that this show averages about ~2.6M viewers/show, I’d say the story itself was great marketing for the interview. “Congratulations, you played yourself”

Oh, I have been waiting for this piece! You throw a stone at a presidential campaign, and it has a staffer who cut their teeth on Jesse Jackson's campaign, particularly Black women.
Spent today talking to just a few of the Black women who credit Jesse Jackson with their start in national politics. By inviting them in, he ensured they would help shape democracy for years to come. My latest on the coalition he built as part of his towering legacy: 19thnews.org/2026/02/jess...
‘He gave me my wings’: Jesse Jackson opened doors for Black women in politics
Jackson, who died Tuesday, worked to diversify the electorate and brought Black women into Democratic politics who ascended to positions of power.
