We just built a NEW tech tool that *any current or former tenant* in the entire country can use for free — it will generate a legal letter for you that reports to collections agencies, credit bureaus and regulatory agencies. Go to reportmylandlord.org to fight back.

The fact that utilities are ecstatic about the new load growth tells you everything you need to know

NEW INVESTIGATION California predicts data centers will consume as much power as adding another LA to grid by 2030 A utility anticipates additional emissions equal to 21 gas plants Some environmentalists see reducing gas power as “a lot less likely” due to AI capitalandmain.com/the-insatiab...

Tomorrow activists are launching a novel rent debt strike against one of the largest corporate landlords in the country. I report on their strategy and national goals

In a world riven by inequality and devastated by climate + ecological crisis, what would it take for "green industrial policy" to empower the working class in Global North + South, and be truly green? New @cplusc.bsky.social report by me and Isabel Estevez (1/3) t.co/78sQQe4d1g

This is a wild story. Bass tries to insert last-minute state bill to significantly weaken the *LA voter-approved* Measure ULA, then withdraws it less than 48 hrs later. Real estate & co (Howard Jarvis, CBRT) are pissed about ULA and doing whatever they can to stop it

TODAY!!! Come hear @alybatt.bsky.social talk about her brilliant new book!

Labor's answer to automation: less hours, more pay. Undated UAW poster from the 1950s. 📸 @reutherlibrary.bsky.social

It's not just that data centers are driving up bills -- we are underestimating the impact of Big Tech's growing ownership of power plants and share of the wholesale electricity market

The climate crisis is a catastrophe we cannot afford to ignore, means-test, or isolate as an ​“add-on” to other problems. Workers and tenants across the country understand that, and are advancing green economic populism at home and at work. So fun to get to dig into it w/ @batul.bsky.social.

AI is the new microwave.

Literally

In CA's CEQA wars budget deal there was a last minute addition of an exemption for 'advanced manufacturing.' A few weeks later, California Forever announces they are going to build "largest site for advanced manufacturing in North America." Hmmm... 🤔 seems like something for @gilduran.com

Wrote about the connection between mass deportations and evictions in this week's newsletter. ICE raids and deportations are causing families to fall behind on rent. And landlords are using the threat to force out tenants.

“This climate populism message is one that we really need to lean into,” the Arizona Democrat said at the Bloomberg Green Seattle conference on Tuesday. Story @bloomberg.com with gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Evictions and deportations are both about forcibly removing people from their home. Landlord in Oakland (Darrick Chavis) threatens both.

"Renters want air conditioning, need it to stay safe, and believe it should be treated as a right—not a luxury." Extreme heat kills. Timely new report from SAJE on a renter's right to cooling in the face of climate-driven heat events www.saje.net/renters-righ...

A green social housing agenda could drive innovative manufacturing for all of the green home technologies we'll need for healthy + decarbonized homes. Not just a dream - real examples from NYCHA & Vienna. Great piece by @aldasky.bsky.social, @ruthygourevitch.bsky.social, and @cplusc.bsky.social

Susanne Schindler has done it again! A concise, clarifying read. bit.ly/460Hhgq

Hello bluesky 👋 If anyone’s out there, give me your best follows for assorted interests in organizing strategy, the climate left, social housing, and technofascism. And/or maybe some uppers like tree facts, the mysteries of space, animals being nice etc etc
