WTF? No doors on the shared bathrooms? Award for the SRO Landlord that let their tenants get raped for home many years b/c they were to cheap to put doors on shared bathrooms, & they finally put them on? No locked doors on shared bathrooms should be illegal with prison time not fines. #vanre

Execs from some of Canada's largest apt co's were clear: Their job was to make a profit and uphold the interests of their investors. They called it their fiduciary duty. We are not social services, they said. They were being honest, and we should take them at their word. #vanRE #Vanpoli

Was in a meeting room with executives from some of Canada’s largest apartment companies. We were there to discuss what could be done for tenants facing rising rents and evictions in some of their buildings. #HomesForWhom? archive.is/50l0r #vanRE #Vanpoli #ToRE

IMO a significant aspect of the resistance to universal health care in the US is that "it's free". It's not free. The insurance is part of taxes. The risk pool is much larger, there are no for-profit insurers. Costs are lower and the profit-motive to raise premiums is not a thing.

Satanic panic to make you get rid of your Judas Priest cassettes is the cousin of “condemning AI is actually ableist” and the logic is just as tortured.

People on Instagram cheering on Poland wanting a US military base, like the US didn’t ignore an entire god damn destabilising attack on Poland’s grid only a year ago.

The Air Force is holding a major in SOLITARY for calling for Trump's impeachment. He's been there 24 hrs a day for over TWO MONTHS. Maj. Jason Watson stood on the Capitol steps in uniform, holding a sign that read "Impeach. Convict. Remove." What happened to freedom of speech?

For those who aren't paying attention, there isn't much difference between the #BCConservatives & the Alberta #UCP The party is full of racists, anti-immigrants, & MAGA types. BC has a strong economy & low unemployment, thanks to NDP policies.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

“Heartening” is what they should have said.

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

The NY Post is calling this art installation in Tehran, featuring a performer dressed as Trump in a mock jail cell, “sickening.” Surely they jest.
