War breaks out in Ethiopia. Tigrayan forces attack federal government positions on two fronts & capture the region's airports. Tragically, shuttle diplomacy efforts by the international community have failed. Ethiopia is on the brink of being plunged back into all out civil war. It's a disaster.

Many cities have frozen rents in rent-stabilized apartments, but so far only Kingston, located in New York's mid-Hudson Valley, has passed a measure to actually REDUCE rents, by 15%. The fight continues, with outstanding tenant-organizing work being done by HudsonValleyTenantsUnion.org.

This story is a great reminder that winning tenant protections is just part of the fight. Renters need the lasting organization, legal support & enforcement power to ensure those rights truly come into effect. 🔗 inthesetimes.com/article/kingston-rent-tenants-landlords-organizing-housing-dispatch

Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

Hi @mayor.nyc.gov, I made a new friend tonight at W 43 and 6th. His name is Matt, he's got a very sweet gray and white pittie, and has taken all the right steps to get into transitional housing. He just needs some help. Whatever you can do to speed things up, I'm sure he would appreciate Thank you!

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

Just finished THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS, an absolutely brilliant book about the daily sadism of Jim Crow and the transformative nature of the Great Migration, which continues to impact all of our lives today. Could not recommend enough for those who love nonfiction.

Flu shot today!

This story is a great example of when @prisonculture.bsky.social speaks on picking something to focus on, organize around it, and keep at it! You don’t have to do it all, but what you do, could make all the difference.

this is fantastic and I learned something new

Allowing the most powerful segment of society to opt out of public services inevitably makes public services worse. This is why the existence of private schools inevitably makes public schools worse. A simple fact that seems hard for many to admit. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/private-sc...

Private Schools Are Bad for Society

The starting point for any honest discussion.

The shape I've been in lately has me thinking a lot about Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha's writings on how folks welcome the *idea* of access and inclusivity for disabled people, and then expect people not to be so disabled that it actually disrupts anything.
