"For many Black families, the loss of property stripped by deceit, violence or using eminent domain — and often sold below market prices — was relegated to bittersweet memories and cautionary tales."

force people to become homeless, make every form of homelessness a crime so they have a sizable criminal record, kill them, justify their murder because of their criminal record, wash, rinse, and repeat.

“Their ingenious business model is rooted in finding far-flung heirs, leveraging family animosities and pushing or sweet-talking longtime Brooklyn residents into deals.” — @georgejoseph94 deep dive into deed theft in Brooklyn’s gentrifying areas thecity.nyc/2023/4/17/236852…

Tennessee is attempting to use eminent domain to take land that has been in Black families for generations so Ford can build electric vehicles. The families just want a fair deal.

It took her all of that time to come up with this nonsense. Also, nothing radical about thinking our institutions are built around discrimination. It's literally in the historic record. What.

Policing in NYC, like policing around the country, is mostly arresting people for things that shouldn't be crimes at all -- jumping the subway turnstile, drug possession & sale, petit theft/stealing to survive, trespass, mental health issues, poverty, houselessness.

Editorial by @hshellae: The threat of eviction is most severe for extremely low income renters, Black and Latinx households, and single mothers. What's next for health and housing policy?
Read here: bit.ly/3AjyhjJ
ALT An excerpt from the text reads: “Federal and state moratoria, albeit incomplete, are working. New eviction filings remain higher in states without a moratorium; therefore, extending the federal order until vaccination efforts have reached the majority of the population can be effective. In addition, improving data collection on evictions, building collaborative partnerships, and strengthening tenant protections nationally can help bridge gaps for renters long term."
