Drug trafficking for owning a cannabis business in a state where it’s legal. We know exactly what this is: Some election tampering bullshit.

So basically a police officer committed deed theft. He did a welfare check on a senior, discovered they died then took over his house. This is why deed theft victims I’ve spoken with don’t trust police, judges or attorneys. That cop lived there for FOUR YEARS undetected 😐

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/off…

The rent eats first. Food, medicine, childcare. Everything else comes after. Our new report, which you can read at stateoftenants.org/, documents a housing system pushing millions to the breaking point and the stakes of organizing to change it. Here’s what we found.

People want action. Polling cited in the report found that 76% of U.S. residents support caps on rent increases. Tenants need political leaders willing to confront landlord power, protect our homes and invest in housing we can afford.

Minnesota tenants are organizing for a massive rent strike after ICE raids & lost wages push families to the brink—backed by unions representing 25K+ workers. @RebeccaJBurns_ & @sarahlazare on why what’s building in the Twin Cities matters everywhere. inthesetimes.com/article/ice…
A crowd marches down a residential street in daylight while a protester in the foreground holds a large sign reading “DE-ICE THE STREETS / NO FASCISTS.” Other signs in the crowd include “Stand with Minnesota” and a poster that reads, “The only minority ruining this country are the rich.”
