#socialhousing is a hot topic of debate amongst progressives, with multiple state and local governments passing, working on or considering legislation.
The issue is, there is a disconnect between the stated aims and technical forms being pursued.

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. thehill.com/homenews/educati…

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.
EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW

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.
ALT LA GAVE MORE MONEY TO COPS WHILE CUTTING FIRE BUDGETS. NOW IT’S BURNING. “The consistent defunding of other city programs in order to give the LAPD billions a year has consequences,” said a local activist.
ALT What is currently happening and unfolding is what we have been warning about,” said Ricci Sergienko, a lawyer and organizer with People’s City Council LA. “The consistent defunding of other city programs in order to give the LAPD billions a year has consequences, and these elected officials do actually have blood on their hands. The city is unprepared to handle this fire, and Los Angeles shouldn’t be in that position.”

Whose intention?
