i’m once again asking you to understand that private commodified housing is not the way to meet a basic human need • FREE PALESTINE • ABOLISH ICE

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

I reviewed @IsabellaMWeber’s phenomenal new book for @newrepublic.

When people can’t afford essentials, to respond with “Just let the market work” isn’t just cruel—it’s stupid. It’s kindergarten-level magical thinking, dressed up as hard-nosed realism. Anti-Fascist Economics treats these idiotic ideas with the derision they deserve. We should too.

@DavidPiotrowski Even qualifying for the ballot does not change the city charter. An election would still have to happen, obviously.

We spend a lot of time talking about breaking down our internal silos -- in our organization that has five paid staff.

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

[Tenants Together @TenantsTogether]

By our very own @ryanjbell: Pasadena renters won #rentcontrol and just-cause protections. Now landlords are trying to roll them back. Don't be fooled by landlord-backed ballot measures that claim to "protect" tenants while gutting tenant protections.

This is just embarrassing. I have little hope that Becerra will improve just about any of CA's many, many problems.

Almost everyone who worked with him in the Biden admin had a negative opinion of his work ethic and basic competence. And now he’s basically not even campaigning.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

This is very obviously true and what it hints out but doesn’t explicitly state is that the very premise shifts the moral burden away from those with power to those without it, from the oppressor to the oppressed. No one forced Biden/Harris to take their genocidal position.

Stop the #sneakyrepeal!

[Defend Pasadena Renters @Pas4RentControl]

This signature gatherer claims Pasadena rent control expires on Sept 30. The opposite is true! This landlord-backed petition would end rent control. Don't sign! Stop the #sneakyrepeal

@spiroferrer 100%

[Ryan Bell 🇵🇸 @ryanjbell]

@spiroferrer Ah, I see. Thanks!

@ryanjbell Agree and not the same thing as having to work for a living

[Ryan Bell 🇵🇸 @ryanjbell]

@spiroferrer I always say if you sell your labor you're working class, but that's the most general description.

[Pasadena Tenants Union @PasadenaTenants]

Were you lied to?

If you signed the landlord petition thinking it was FOR rent control and would like to remove your signature, you can do it easily using this form!

At this point "Abolish ICE" is setting the bar way too low, "Punish ICE" establishes a much better baseline going forward

[Ryan Bell 🇵🇸 @ryanjbell]

Liz Bruenig still at it. Bless her heart!

[Ryan Bell 🇵🇸 @ryanjbell]

@cw_3245 @Econ_Marshall yes, please trap me in affordable housing!

Lindsey Graham's death kinda feels like we got a free appetizer because our entrees were taking a long time. 🤔

Football has become nearly as unwatchable as basketball and for the same reasons.
