Seems really bad itep.org/dc-autonomy-...

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

apropos of nothing at all and also forever relevant

Hope! My long lost friend!

There’s no greater satisfaction than knowing it was your tug on the yellow cord on a dc bus that activated the “stop requested” announcement @wmata.com

“Usually, we can say, ‘Knowing your rights is power.’ Now, we say, ‘Know your rights, but also know that just because you have rights doesn’t mean they won’t be violated.’ @shelterforce.bsky.social shelterforce.org/2025/09/05/f...

Really feel like the NYC mayor’s race shows that there is no such thing as a progressive establishment, and there is, in fact, an anti-progressive establishment that runs all the way from Murdoch to Clinton

Worth a read. Turns out democracy can die in any lighting situation.

So did we just move on from signal gate? Seems ill-advised.

the fragile male ego is literally going to be the death of us

Signal-gate and the Social Security scandal show how tyranny works: the regime can do no wrong, and the people have no rights. They claim it wasn't classified info in the chat, but Goldberg can be prosecuted. DOGE doesn't want to disclose their workers names, but wants your social security info.

everyone hug your group chats a little tighter tonight

Sweeping property tax cuts are not an affordable housing solution! Kamolika Das at @itep.org points to tax policies that could have an impact on housing affordability, including vacancy taxes, land value taxes, and property tax circuit breakers. itep.org/housing-affo...

Why is deleting page breaks always one of the most technically complicated tasks I've ever undertaken?

A helpful reminder today and everyday.

Any reccs for good (funny) accounts that mock (mercilessly) JD Vance for being exactly who he is (a complete and utter loser)? As always, asking for a friend!

Has anyone seen a democratic congressperson? Asking for a friend who is a bit concerned about the unauthorized and unconstitutional takeover of federal data systems and other sensitive information by an incel billionaire who has no security clearance and was not appointed by anyone. lmk!

in fact, i think it'd behoove us all to be a little crankier.

Great piece on decreased eviction filings in NYC since pre-pandemic by @jpgarnham.bsky.social showing “the importance of proactively addressing tenant’s challenges, keeping long term policies in place, and adapting over time to cover gaps” evictionlab.org/in-the-most-...

The most powerful person in the world would like credit for giving debt relief to 85k people who faced fraud at the hands of their school and another 6k who were eligible for loan forgiveness after a decade of public service 🙃 thehill.com/homenews/edu...

It’s widely accepted *that* less expensive housing markets see less homelessness, but this important piece shows *why*: family & friends have more space to spare worksinprogress.co/issue/why-ho...

It's not enough that cities criminalize and vilify unhoused people. They also confiscate what little they have. Most never see their belongings again. These sweeps aren’t compassionate—they’re cruel theater. an important new investigation by @propublica.org: www.propublica.org/article/home...

Worth reading the full thread (and the paper), but found this finding particularly alarming (PE=private equity)

Slow horses is 🤌🏽!
