Federal Investigators Were Preparing Two Texas Housing Discrimination Cases — Until Trump Took Over The government spent years probing allegations that a Dallas HOA created rules to kick poor Black people out and that Texas discriminated against minority residents in Houston after Hurricane Harvey, ...

Federal investigators spent years on two major housing discrimination cases in Texas, finding what they believed were stark civil rights violations.

Then the Trump Admin assumed office and quietly took steps that officials think will likely kill both cases.

Today @natfairhouse.bsky.social & @warren.senate.gov are facilitating a Senate Briefing highlighting the harmful impacts of Trump’s attacks on fair housing. Last week, DOGE & HUD cancelled ~ 80 Fair Housing Act enforcement & education grants/contracts halting work to address housing discrimination.

This is absolutely horrifying. These are the organizations on the front lines advocating for people who have experienced housing discrimination and doing affirmative work to end discrimination in housing. Without them, more families and people with disabilities will be on the streets.

Trump's administration cancels funding of local orgs on the frontlines protecting fair housing rights of all, including people w/disabilities, people of color and faith, families w/ children, seniors, victims of domestic violence, & LGBTQ+. It won't make housing cheaper.

Ongoing Coup | Attorney General Kris Mayes
Ongoing Coup | Attorney General Kris Mayes Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

What Donald Trump is allowing Elon Musk and his DOGE team to do is not an audit. It is a coup. This an incredibly dangerous moment—and it is all the more dangerous if people don’t understand what is happening.

If folks are boycotting Target, then boycotting a game for 1 day should be a no-brainer, and may have more impact?

How Wall Street Priced You Out of a Home | Robert Reich
How Wall Street Priced You Out of a Home | Robert Reich Rent is skyrocketing and home buying is out of reach for millions. One big reason why? Wall Street. Let me explain.

The Senate has confirmed Trump's HUD nominee Scott Turner, who has advocated for increasing the private equity industry's role in the housing market.

These corporate landlords are one of the biggest reasons why you can't afford a home.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

"Decision went back to states" is overturning Roe. Exactly what I said. He has repeatedly taken credit for overturning Roe. There is video of him. And he appointed the 3 justices specifically because they would.

He explicitly nominated those 3 because they would overturn Roe. And he takes credit for doing that now. That's why it is his fault.

A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to Texas Emergency Rooms It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened. Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.” She’s one of at least two Te...

According to ProPublica, she wasn't an inpatient. To win medical malpractice claim in TX against an emergency room, family would have to prove "wilfull and wanton negligence" which is more difficult to prove, particularly, when TX law criminalizes most abortions.

You are kidding, right? Who do you think appointed and then confirmed 3 justices to the Supreme Court that overturned Roe? President Biden doesn't control Supreme Court decisions, and if he did, they would all be violating their oath to the Constitution.

Potato distributors allegedly used a pricing app to collude and raise prices nearly 50% over 2 years.

This is the EXACT practice that Biden & the Khan FTC have attacked, but voters just threw them out because... the price of food is too high

In conversation with a cis-man about abortion bans last week, he actually referenced the government's alleged interest in increasing the birth rate. That man claims to care about me.

This is the selfish, dehumanizing mindset of people who would trade human rights for the chance at money.

The Awful Truth Trump’s Cabinet Picks Make Clear This is a feminist backlash.

In Trumpworld, if everyone is a sexual predator, then no one’s misdeeds matters. MAGA Republicans seem to be having their own #MeToo moment, except here, a growing cohort of men is essentially saying: Oh, another man accused of sexual predation? #MeToo — and so what?
