Seriously, we need to keep an eye on this property and if it is sold/redeveloped. Destroying the building and making it unsafe for occupation by removing doors and windows is one way to evict an entire building via condemnation.
And these were all lower-income renters.

The weirdest thing about this discourse is that states with shorter school closures have the same amount of learning loss! I keep waiting for all the punditry on this to catch up with basic facts
Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

When a far right pundit on a CNN panel with me ‘joked’ about my beeper going off live on air & then got banned by CNN, Megyn Kelly had him on her show & they both laughed about it.
Yet here is Kelly getting super offended when someone else makes the beeper threat against her. Oh, the hypocrisy.

It cannot get any more direct other than doing the thing itself. Which they are doing, by the way. Who is keeping records of the cars, trucks, furniture, jewelry, electronics, etc of all the people they’ve black bagged and disappeared to their wildcat internment camps? No one. It starts small.

everyone keeps dancing around it but JD Vance keeps trotting out the “immigrants are taking our housing“ because it’s a nativist blood libel he’s engineering alongside eg “they eat our pets” but, more specifically, it is to legitimize the dispossession, en masse, of an entire sub-population.

Technically, it's an aggravated felony sexual assault of a child, with harsher penalties put in place for perpetrators with younger victims.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
