Private equity corporate landlords are contributing to the housing affordability crisis & making things worse for first time homebuyers, manufactured housing residents & renters. We can reverse these trends if legislators are willing to take on PE & fight for legislation that reigns in its abuses.

Did you know that in all but 3 states, insurers can use your credit score to determine what you pay for homeowners insurance? Your insurance commissioner or state legislature can stop this predatory industry behavior–in fact, it’s their job.

In 1985, a senior Reagan official declared: "We're getting out of the housing business. Period." The result? Millions of people forced into housing precarity and homelessness. Now, history is repeating: the Trump administration plans to gut HUD, pouring gasoline on an already catastrophic crisis.

It bears repeating and repeating ad nauseum: if a political party withholds the effort to earn votes and you use their inevitable loss as an excuse to scold strangers on the internet instead of holding that party accountable: You are a performative, sloganeering and politically incompetent rube.

A lot is really discouraging about the rise of fascism in the US. I feel particularly distressed at how difficult and unlikely a popular front between liberals and the left is, largely as a result of the horrible turn of liberalism this last year. 1/19 🧵

Cerberus, a private equity firm, buys a chain of hospitals, sells the land on which they sit, and charges them rent. The hospitals struggle and start cutting corners. Patients' care worsens, death rates climb. And Cerberus makes $790 million in profit.

In the next four years, tenant unions will deepen their organizing. They'll win safer homes, fairer leases, and local regulatory policies, all of which can build the blueprint for national change. Great to write some on this and more w/ @taraghuveer.bsky.social in @theprospect.bsky.social

Look for the Tenant Union

Those caught in the crossfire of corporate landlords and financial engineering need a regulatory agenda to protect them.

Clearly, Gaza alone does not explain Trump's sweeping victory. But the evidence shows that Harris’ failure to break with Biden’s policy came with a political cost—one that was higher than many had expected. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Harris’s Gaza Policy Was a Disaster on Every Level

Palestine may not have swung the election one way or another. But Democrats unquestionably paid a high price for their refusal to hold Israel accountable.

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all? I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Fc...
