Our housing affordability crisis could be fixed very easily if mayors and premiers finally monitored the rent-to-income ratios in their jurisdictions — ensuring that rents aren’t rising faster than wages. And when they are, rein in landlord greed. Housing is a need. It’s time to treat it like one.

WE must not allow #Dems to be upholders of an intolerable status quo. We Must Move so much further left and into the land of sanity. We must tax the billionaire class out of existence.

Can't stress enough a huge part of this is the result of living in a society that doesn't take trolling seriously Oh the bullies aren't really bad guys, they're just kidding, oh they're doing it for the lulz, boys will be boys! Just ignore them! Don't be so sensitive!

Look its the "hero" booker who talked for hours ... to accomplish getting a book deal. Its the conspiracy theorist, its the same one who just got tackled by feds. Its the one one who said his job is to force isreal to be supported by "the left" its the "be civil" block. They will not fight.

The protests sweeping France, Indonesia, Chile, Serbia and beyond aren't just Gen Z tantrums or anti-neoliberal flare-ups. They're revolts of the powerless – signs of a slow democratic revolution against elites who govern without consent. #auspol #democracy #protest

If it weren’t for Salon taking my meandering, bad op-eds back in the day, I never would have found investigative journalism. This sucks. Another media fixture dies.
