🚨ALL OUT THIS WEDNESDAY🚨
Government is ramming a rent hike bill through the Dáil that will throw renters to the wolves. This bill opens the door to brutal “market rent resets” that will drive up rents by up to 40%. An outright attack on working-class people already drowning in extortionate rents.

The new BIA will operate in 3-year cycles with artists being eligible for every 3 out of 6 years. However, those who were on the Pilot who meet the eligibility criteria for the new scheme may apply for the BIA in 2026.

Those who were on the Pilot who meet the eligibility criteria may apply for the 2026 BIA, which would mean 6 years consecutive payments.

Jasmine Crockett knows what's up
Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

The US food system is highly dependent on the exploitation of immigrant labor from farms to processing plants - the trump administration is ratcheting up unjust policies that have been developed through decades. These workers are showing amazing courage under terrible circumstances.

If anyone’s wondering where the decent journalists are, a lot of them are now on Substack. That’s where the brave, decent, writers have migrated to - because most of our media outlets are complicit with politicians.

Labour government has been nasty reactionary and authoritarian with a litany of fuck ups but Starmer’s worst crime was to kill hope and unfortunately for him people have rightly sought it elsewhere.
