“The daily cost of the D.C. troop deployment is more than six times what it would cost to operate affordable housing for D.C.’s entire unhoused population. The government’s priorities could not be more clear," said @hannahomestead.bsky.social of @nationalpriorities.bsky.social

Pentagon plan would create military ‘reaction force’ for civil unrest

According to official sources, highway construction and “urban renewal” in Detroit displaced roughly 43,000 people during the 1950s/60s. Historians estimate the number to be far higher—closer to 100,000. More info: www.segregationbydesign.com/detroit/i75375

Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. We’re calling out the injustice of an economy where Black women earn 66 cents on the dollar compared to white men.
We fight to end the wage gap and make it easier to join a union because women get equal pay with a union contract.

In addition to many other important programs, IU Bloomington is eliminating its Folklore and Ethnomusicology Department, one of the most storied and successful in the country.
So, here it is. Thanks to a new state law that was NEVER DEBATED, Indiana University has committed itself to abolishing majors in African-American/African Diaspora Studies: American Studies; Art History; French; Italian; Religious Studies etc. DOZENS of majors. www.ipm.org/news-section...
Indiana public colleges cut almost 20% of degrees
Public Indiana colleges and universities have eliminated 19 percent of their degree programs to meet requirements added to the state’s budget, according to the Commission for Higher Education.

LA/California friends: Is the Coachella Valley/Salton Sea "greater Los Angeles?" Where are we loosely defining the end point at?
California National Guard troops under federal control were sent to operate in "the greater Los Angeles area." What the actual definition of that area is for Task Force 51 is isn't clear. But apparently it includes the Salton Sea. New from me @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/nationa...
Guardsmen sent to LA are 130 miles east of the city doing drug busts
It’s unclear how many National Guardsmen participated in the operation, but the force totalled roughly 500 people.

PSA: Take a break from the doom scrolling. One of the most important things you can do today is CALL your elected officials and voice your concerns.
Every call matters as staff keep count of how many care about an issue, which gives officials justification to speak up and fight.
