[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

We need to draw attention to a new, exploding type of household debt that only recently emerged: it's called rent debt—or "back rent debt," and it didn't really exist before COVID at all. It's getting little attention in housing discourse and media coverage.

We'll explain it.

This isn’t getting nearly enough attention.

Phoenix may have just experienced the most extraordinary heatwave in American history.

The city endured 21 consecutive days of record-breaking high temperatures, shattering the previous record of 14 days set in Burlington, Iowa, during the Dust Bowl Era in 1936.

Today marked the first day since September 24th that Phoenix didn’t hit a new record high. Truly mind-blowing.

If Facebook simply did not come back, that would be a very good thing for humanity.

@profmusgrave I am perpetually infuriated by “it’s too expensive” for an new public infrastructure, particularly public transit. Why is it impossible now but quite possible a century ago??!

A $15 minimum wage passed in Florida with 61% of the vote in 2020. Biden got just 48% of the vote in the same Florida election.
