if Housing Twitter wants to talk about bad governance, consider that the counties that don't report *any* eviction data are home to 54% of California's renters (over 9 million people). it's impossible to talk about displacement without basic data:

🇧🇴 🇺🇸 | Civil war-type scenes are emerging from Bolivia.
The government passed a law authorising US-backed President Rodrigo Paz to deploy the military against protesters.
Bolivian police and military forces have launched a joint operation to clear strike blockades in San Julián, Santa Cruz department, as a five-week general strike against neoliberalism continues to grip the country.
The crackdown came with full government backing — multiple ministers arrived for what was intended as a photo opportunity declaring victory over the movement.
Instead, entire communities mobilised, forcing security forces to retreat after more than four hours of sustained resistance on the highway.
The mobilisations, demanding the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz, have left at least ten people dead, 37 injured, and over a hundred facing prosecution, according to the Ombudsman's Office.
Meanwhile, in El Alto — the indigenous city encircling the capital — daily popular assemblies are being held where communities vote on strike strategy and assess the movement's progress. A new form of grass-roots democracy is taking shape on the streets.
This is what Bolivia's highways look like at the moment.
Each town & village blocks their stretch, and the union members in each community take turns at the barricades. This is part of the general strike against neoliberalism. Now entering week 3.
🇧🇴 Former Bolivian President Evo Morales and his supporters have issued a 90-day ultimatum to the government of President Rodrigo Paz, demanding new elections or the resignation of the Paz government while warning of coordinated escalations if their demands are ignored, according to geopolitical analyst Joseph Bouchard.
The pressure campaign comes after Paz, a right-wing leader who took office in November 2025 as Bolivia’s first non-MAS president in two decades, suffered a major setback in April’s regional elections, securing just two of nine governorships despite entering office with momentum. He now faces mounting unrest from Morales loyalists, major miners’ federations, labor unions, and indigenous groups, which have launched an indefinite general strike.
Morales, who governed Bolivia from 2006 to 2019 and was barred from the 2025 election, is currently based in the remote Chapare region, his longtime political stronghold.
Evo Morales: "Three helicopters tried to detain me. Shots were fired in volleys. We barely escaped alive. The CIA piloted a helicopter as part of the operation to detain me. The youth must identify both the internal and external demons -- the internal enemies are the right-wing forces in every country; the external enemies are the agents of empire."
Bolivia's government has ordered the arrest of all the main leaders of the indigenous movements and mineworkers unions.
They're being charged for Terrorism for having organised the general strike against hunger. Strike continues regardless, now in day 7.
El imperio norteamericano no sólo quiere eliminarme fisicamente, quiere invadir Bolivia para apropiarse de sus recursos naturales como el litio. Nosotros tenemos las mayores reservas mundiales de ese metal.
Los mercenarios y piratas extranjeros ya empezaron a actuar en coordinación con el gobierno de Rodrigo Paz y sus aliados derechistas. Como siempre, sus primeros ataques son la mentira y el insulto. Inventan pretextos para invadir con violencia, masacrar al pueblo y asaltar nuestras riquezas.
The Bolivian people—an example to lead—continue protesting, demanding the resignation of Rodrigo Paz.
They also demand that transnational corporations withdraw from Bolivia, urging they won’t allow the privatization of the country’s natural resources.
Our sources within the Bolivian police have confirmed that they've received orders to use live ammunition against the indigenous long march that is arriving today in the capital.
Protesters are aware and heading down regardless, to defend the country and its natural resources.
🚨 The US is sending a 2300-person paramilitary force to kidnap/murder Bolivia’s couped president, Evo Morales
This comes just a few years after Elon Musk threatened to coup whoever he wants, directed toward the indigenous president

BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. https://t.co/0J9rBRtKkA
