Remember when right-wingers lost their shit over eat the bugs and we need people to eat less meat and no one needs to eat meat every day for the sake of the environment? Turns out their problem with it was the veneer of trying to do something good instead of a punishment
Tenants just launched the first rent strike in Montana in 50 years.
Residents at Bozeman mobile home parks are withholding $50,000 dollars in protest of a major rent hike.
It's a crucial fight for the last vestige of affordable housing.
Are you sick and tired of dealing with soaring rent and crumbling buildings? Do you want to level the playing field between landlords and tenants?
Then it’s time to join a tenant union.

Oops got logged out of here for a while, felt sun on my face... and then logged back in.

@nkulw@ettingermentum Imperial boomerang side effect; reformed stormtroopers. If he wins, I bet it starts a larger trend of bearded, tattooed, veteran left candidates.
@JoshuaBailey184 That's fair. But I think you might be being too hard on yourself.
Well, as a fall back, maybe start dragging DSA members to the range until it sticks with some of them? IMO, we gotta start jamming good peeps into city/neighborhood level politics and hope some of them make it.
THE UNION STEPS UP WHEN THE GOVERNMENT WON’T
The government is back open, but our people are still hurting. We will continue WE FEED US through the end of the month to make sure our union members are as stable as possible on the other side of this catastrophe.
@Rebels_Raiders Not a faucet, a grill.
You want to cool things off in your immediate area? Throw some dogs on the grill and beers in the cooler. Invite your neighborhood. Most of us don't know our neighbors' names. Change that, that's actual boomer wisdom.
@Rebels_Raiders@MichaelMammoth You can look at how it was done in the past. Circa WW2, the US threw tons of public dollars at building housing, because your population needs housing to win an existential war.
The boomers reaped that oversupply. We had to deal with the drought of building post 2008.
@YPTActual Naw, much as I dislike his modern followers, Yeshua Ben Yusuf was a proletarian organizer rebelling against a European Empire. My man J.C. would rock an AK.
For @yesmagazine I wrote about the role of community self-defense on the left, it's history and its relationship to mutual aid and solidarity. I talked with folks from @SocialistRA, @YPTActual and others, as well as @ejeris and other insightful folks.
