#socialhousing is a hot topic of debate amongst progressives, with multiple state and local governments passing, working on or considering legislation.

President Claudia Sheinbaum has just sent a bill to Congress banning GMO corn, declaring maize a cornerstone of Mexican national identity, and enshrining agroecological practices as mandatory.
No GMO poison. No glyphosate. This is food sovereignty and environmental justice in practice.
According to CPS officials, ICE agents were turned away from Hamline Elementary Schools. This is the power of a union contract that fights for everyone. In 2019 we won sanctuary provisions for our schools & we will work together to protect our students and communities.

This is such irresponsible disinformation @thehill: "In total, the Biden administration has now spent $183.6 billion to forgive student loans."
There is no ***spending*** involved in cancelling a debt. Like it literally involves $0 of spending. https://t.co/rTj2Lcp1e1
In poor and working-class neighborhoods, tenants will be hit with harassment, frivolous 3-day notices, and baseless evictions. THEN the landlords will price-gouge, and the former tenants will become homeless.

What’s currently happening in Los Angeles is exactly what we have been warning about.
The consistent defunding of other city programs in order to give the LAPD billions a year has consequences.
Whose intention?
The real estate finance class wins at least twice over.
From taking over control of the props w signif state subsidy in tact albeit reworked, to jacking up priv market rents unendingly knowing that people have no where else to go.
I just published a new Luigi Mangione document the press is withholding, an NYPD intel report warning of “disdain for corporate greed" and the "online reactions to the shooting" risking "extremists" imitating Mangione

@Shane135792@FecStop13647 Section 8 is not public housing. And these “guarantees” have not manifested elsewhere.
What’s your stake in this? Why go against what residents themselves are saying?
