Airbnb is such a parasite around here. Small companies are buying houses just to rent them, and what gets marketed as a way to make "a little extra money" for ordinary people is just a major cash grab for the rich. Besides, who can afford to own a house anymore?
Projet Montréal has called out their political rivals Ensemble Montréal for proposing the deregulation of Airbnb, a company whose rapid expansion of short-term rental apartments has been a leading cause of the housing crisis in the city.
Airbnb's assault on Montreal housing has become a municipal election issue
Airbnb — a leading cause of the housing crisis in Montreal — has become a municipal election issue, with the two major parties at odds.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Over 90% of DC residents voted against Trump. Their blatant show of military force is a threat to the freedom of all Americans who oppose them.

The regime wants the people to be afraid of their government—because the regime is afraid of the people.
🚨 Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered National Guard troops roaming the streets of Washington DC to be armed with their service weapons

what donald trump wants more than anything is video of american soldiers gunning down american citizens
This could end up very badly given what we know of Rules on Use of Force (RUF) for Guard in DC. And very different training regimens compared to local police.

Wall Street Journal reporting:

"National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C. are preparing to carry weapons in the coming days."
Exclusive | National Guard Soldiers Prepare to Carry Weapons in Washington, D.C.
The shift comes after defense officials said the soldiers deployed to the capital wouldn’t be armed.

Saying it again:

"We will dedicate the rest of our lives to making sure Big Balls goes to prison for all his crimes, for the people he killed as he broke US law."

There is sufficient public information now to prosecute and imprison the DOGE kids. It is vital we do so
"Will the president consider giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Big Balls?"

So Donald Trump is going to send the national guard to Washington DC today when the people of DC don’t need them, after refusing to deploy them on January 6, when the people of Washington DC did.

Not a huge Derek Thompson fan but he's straightforwardly correct here. Financial institutions own a tiny percentage of US homes and generally rent them out rather than keeping them vacant. Preventing BlackRock from buying housing wouldn't do much to help affordability.

Just because the EU got scammed by the most obvious and con-man in history doesn't mean that Canada has to as well. Call your MPs and demand Canada concede nothing! The US needs Canada more than we need them.

It looks like Harvard is not up to the task of leading the defense of academic freedom and democracy in the United States. It was a big ask, to be sure, and sadly, it appears Harvard is not big enough. History will not look kindly on us.

Almost went to Columbia for law school. You couldn't pay me to go now. In a single year, the board of trustees has, through constant capitulation, turned one of the top schools in into a punchline.

Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.
