“It’s a huge win, and it wouldn’t have happened if not for tenant unions beating the drum for the past several years demanding that every dollar of federal financing and subsidies be conditioned on tenant protections,” said @taraghuveer, via @FranQuigley. commondreams.org/opinion/biden-…
Without a plan on the rent, we don’t have a plan on inflation. The rent is too damn high, and there are still shots the Biden admin needs to call. The most important and urgent: rent regs in all units financed with federally-backed loans. They can do this, and they should.

“Kansas City voters delivered a powerful blow against billionaire sports franchise owners, rejecting a 40-year stadium tax in a decisive vote for community interests and democratic values over corporate greed.” kansascitydefender.com/politics/kansa…
This is what Michael Savwoir, 1 of the union leaders for KC Tenants, told @fox4kc: “Two billion dollars in taxpayers money, man, could do a hell of a lot to develop our community. The billionaires don’t finance my follies. Why should I finance theirs?"
KC TENANTS AND JACKSON COUNTY VOTERS SHUT DOWN THE STADIUM SALES TAX. The largest transfer of public funds to private enterprises in our region’s history, $2 billion over 40 years. The people took on the billionaires. The people won. Nothing is inevitable if we organize.
Thorough piece by @mdent05 for @washingtonpost on the stadium sales tax. Tells the story of our leader Denise Brown, lifelong Royals fan, voting NO tomorrow. "For opponents, the vote is about more than the stadiums. It’s about who Kansas City is for." washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/04…
The billionaire owners of the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals want residents to vote for a 40-year sales tax, in order to pay for $2 billion in stadium upgrades. So @KCTenants dropped a banner at last night's game, urging a NO vote on the wealth transfer to the mega-rich.

BILLIONAIRE BALLPARK? THAT AIN’T RIGHT. NOW: KC TENANTS ACTION AT ROYALS OPENING DAY. VOTE NO ON APRIL 2
Organizers with @DecarcerateKC just passed Kansas City’s first pre-arrest diversion program. Beautiful work that will change many lives, and our city, for the better ❤️🔥

I’m resigning from the board of Columbia Global Reports (a nonprofit publishing imprint from Columbia University) in solidarity with @Columbia students, staff, and faculty, as well as the present academic boycott of the institution
excited and honored to join the board of my first publisher, Columbia Global Reports. it's no exaggeration to say that CGR changed my life, and if you're curious about writing a novella-length work of reported nonfiction, get in touch anytime!
Our team spent long hours reporting on and around Columbia’s campus on Thursday & Friday. I want to clear some stuff up. I didn’t see a single instance of violence or aggression on the lawn or at the student encampment. The student-led protest was peaceful and often very quiet…
Thread: I don’t get outraged easily, but @Columbia’s decision to call NYPD to arrest 108 protestors was unconscionable. It raises troubling questions about the university's leadership and even more important moral questions: How should we deal with dissent and disagreement?
Fantastic news about my 7-hour layover in Chicago: I have found a secret bedroom in o'hare
Today's time line cleanse - raas from the encampment. Dandiyas for solidarity!
This is what a fighting labor movement looks like.
A reminder that homelessness is a sign of a failed state, not failed people.
NEW: Rents are up 20% since 2020. And a housing cartel's algorithm could be to blame. RealPage, a software company, allegedly works with landlords to drive up rents across the country. This is an illegal price-fixing conspiracy. And it's forcing Americans into homelessness.
Our long national nightmare is over

To tackle housing affordability, US needs both: —Big increases in housing supply for the middle class —Large expansions in public affordable housing subsidies for people with low incomes I delve into the dual nature of housing supply needs @urbaninstitute urban.org/urban-wire/no-…
yes, that marginalized group that has never had representation or sway in politics at any level in this country, property owners
trying to post less now that the vote is over for now, because I'd like my mentions to go back to how they were before, w/out all the randos But man, all the people flailing & blaming the tenants group is hilarious mfer didn't realize he's invented THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE lol

Anyway if they want a stadium they have the resources to build it. They don't necessarily need the tax money. KC Current was primarily private funding. Which now that I think about it was unfair women's sports once again had to take care of business. Basically do it themselves.
@MannyAbarcaIV Just a reminder: You work for the people, not for the teams. Your constituents told you, decisively, what they thought of this deal. Instead of reflecting on that, this is your response? Irresponsible, at best.
@brandon_kcmo @MannyAbarcaIV Seeing how central he was to the ballot question and how resoundingly his voters told him he was wrong, you'd think he'd be the one meeting with the no voters in his district to understand his mistakes. You know, if he was genuinely interested in representing his people.
@MannyAbarcaIV Are the teams meeting with NO voters to better understand them? Or are they meeting with folks in KS looking to fleece their voters instead of ours? If these meetings are only people in KS, why should we care? Do you have any answers or is this just PR after last night’s L?
A KC Tenants organizer I spoke with when results were final likened this to David and Goliath
Quick bit of math: Looks like the Yes Committee spent $53 per vote. The combined No Committee and KC Tenants spent about $1.50 per vote.
