What an absolute shame. When I tell you the over-policing of Black bodies has always been over the top. Calling the cops on this little Black child because he’s too good. The league director should have been arrested for filing a false report. youtube.com/shorts/e4wFx...

Fair housing organizations handle 75% of the nation's fair housing complaints. Pulling funding from these groups hurts the people and communities they serve. prospect.org/2026/09/02/t...

HUD is limiting the rights of people with disabilities to challenge inaccessible housing. A new order could leave residents with no avenue to seek enforcement when inaccessible conditions were built into their homes. NFHA is pushing back: nationalfairhousing.org/nfha-strongl...
Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov for supporting fair housing groups who work in our communities to support people facing housing insecurity, discrimination, & redlining. These groups help ⬆️ the supply of fair, safe, and affordable housing in the communities where they serve.
Glad to see a federal judge stop the Trump admin's illegal attempts to weaken anti-discrimination guardrails in housing. Fair housing groups are essential to ensuring housing remains accessible to all. HUD must promptly comply with this ruling & end these baseless attacks.

NEW: A Florida grand jury finds the DeSantis Administration misappropriated $10 million in taxpayer funds when it diverted the money to the Casey DeSantis’-related nonprofit, Hope Florida Foundation. I track the money flow in this outrageous corruption and grift! youtu.be/JDOh1GUZrfs?...
We marched for jobs, housing, the freedom to vote, economic justice, and democracy! We’re pressing forward to ensure this nation lives up to its promises and ideals. Glad to join @attorneybencrump.bsky.social @sen-marcmorial.bsky.social @lulacorg.bsky.social & other leaders in this fight!
Today, NFHA stood with partners from across the country at the March on Washington: Defend the Vote. We marched for democracy, fair housing, economic justice, and civil rights. We’re proud to stand together and keep this work moving forward. #MarchOnWashington2026
What an absolute angel who lived here among us.
This is who Dolly Parton was. ❤️ “My dad couldn’t read and write, so I wanted to do something to make him feel part of something special.” So she did. Dolly turned her love for her dad into the Imagination Library, putting more than 330 MILLION books into the hands of children.

What does it say about a nation that vilifies a man who stepped to stop brutality against a woman and who was unnecessarily (and to my mind illegally) murdered by law enforcement? What does it say about a nation that will not hold people who abuse their power accountable?
"I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents
Special Purpose Credit Programs have opened up homeownership opportunities for thousands of people. Congress established them under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The Trump Administration wants to remove them and that will only make homeownership less affordable and accessible for too many.
Seven federal regulators are rolling back support for Special Purpose Credit Programs that help expand fair access to credit and homeownership. NFHA strongly condemns this attack on fair lending protections. Read our statement: nationalfairhousing.org/nfha-stateme... #FairHousingIsTheLaw
Indiana gives sales & use tax exemptions on energy costs for qualified data centers for up to 25 years where the investment is less than $750M. If the investment is more than $750 million, the tax exemption can go up to 50 years. Meanwhile, Gary has no power. iedc.in.gov/indiana-adva...
Just saw The Color of Cola, directed by Stanley Nelson & Jacqueline Olive. An amazing docu about the 1st Black execs & leaders hired by Pepsi, their successes, & the challenges they faced. The directors R joined by Sheereen Miller-Russell after a screening @mvaaff.bsky.social for a talk. See it!
Than you @booker.senate.gov for leading a group of 32 Senators in standing up for fair housing. This is the kind of leadership we need in Congress. Demanding the production of documents behind this Administration's decisions & holding them accountable is the way to defend our democracy.
32 U.S. Senators are calling on HUD to protect funding for local fair housing organizations. These organizations handle more than 74% of housing discrimination complaints nationwide. NFHA commends lawmakers for standing up for fair housing. Read more: nationalfairhousing.org/nfha-commend...

Big UP to @warren.senate.gov for standing with us against the Trump Administration's efforts to defund the frontline groups providing direct services to survivors of discrimination!
Over 1K employees of frontier AI companies signed a statement calling on the U.S. to support an international effort to create a failswitch, a process for shutting down AI systems that cause undue harm, & to pace AI development to protect humanity. We'd all better listen. www.pacingthefrontier.com
If this administration gets its way, nonprofit fair housing enforcement organizations, that process 75% of the nation’s fair hsg complaints, will be defunded with many shutting their doors. We’re suing to protect these groups & ensure they receive the funds Congress appropriated to support them.
NFHA and the Massachusetts Fair Housing Center have filed a lawsuit challenging HUD's latest attempt to dismantle the primary federal funding program supporting local fair housing organizations. Learn more about what’s at stake: nationalfairhousing.org/lawsuit-to-h...
