This is a bad decision, but governments generally have the right to inspect rental housing, and landlords are running businesses, ferhevensake!

Thank you so much for this honor! All thanks to the wonderful organizers in Philly who let me document these struggles and approach to educational justice in the city!
Tongue is in fact on the menu at Perly's!
You're in luck!
it's an imperative, literally.
How is "anti-ICE" more specific than "defund the police"?Defund the police is literally an imperative.
The only way you can think AI does lit reviews better is if you’re not interested in making an intellectual argument or building theory … which uh, is pretty key to the advancement of knowledge
ICE plans to spend $38 billion to buy warehouses for immigrant detention. But cities are fighting back, arguing doing so violates zoning (& human decency).
In new research @urbaninstitute.bsky.social w/ UNC Law's Rick Su, we investigate just how much power the federal govt has to overrule locals.

Today @ngraetz.bsky.social presented a CURA research brief in the MN Senate on the effects of Metro Surge on rent debt. We estimate that total excess rent debt across MN since the beginning of the surge to be between $27-$52 million (1/2)

I looked up their buildings in public records. The Bonanno family is making $3m/yr after expenses and before taxes and debt servicing.
cry me a river lol
We don't have to accept such tradeoffs. We could have had a just transition instead of organized abandonment.
From an urban studies perspective, this misses a lot. National wage gains can coexist with regional economic collapse — that’s well established in the trade literature. The real question is whether we treat the permanent hollowing-out of entire metros as an acceptable adjustment cost.
Statement- January 30, 2026 The transaction to sell our industrial building in Ashland, Virginia will not be proceeding.
Breaking - Jim Pattison Developments say the sale of their warehouse for use as a proposed ICE facility will not be proceeding
Fuck the NY Times, who is always proud and eager to do the fascists' dirty work for them.
I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:
"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."
We were stopped 3.5 miles from the County building in traffic lining up to get in.
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
LOL. I think the 10 year olds are coordinating. Ours received a smartwatch for her 10th birthday and even though it locks during school hours, she refuses to take it to school because "it's a distraction".
If she doesn't like it, she could end it any time by passing the John Lewis Act.
I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1
The feds have filed 31 criminal cases — not counting immigration-related offenses — stemming from Operation Midway Blitz.
Zero convictions so far.
Charges have been dropped in 14 cases already.
And they’re having trouble keeping this case intact chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
you should read your own survey again.
A good dissertation would be for someone to go back to the Lexow Committee (1894) to the Wickersham Commission (1929) all the way through to Obama's 21st Century Police Taskforce and simply write down the "reforms" of policing offered over time. THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AT THE ROOT.
Why are you all so useless?
Vichy News
WaPo says to take it seriously, but not as a real newspaper. Fucking Vichy-ass paper
Hell, they are the exact same from the Kerner Commission report, 1968.
NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.
