Keep your eye on this. A decade ago, Debt Collective launched a student debt strike. Mainstream media scoffed and laughed. Then billions got canceled. We’re repeating that playbook with back rent debt: strike, shift moral culpability, target bad actors, change consumer protection law for the better.

New: We're sparking a coordinated form of economic resistance that has never been done in the housing space.

We're organizing a debt-strike.

Rental debtors around the country will refuse to pay their back-rent debt to a giant corporate landlord.

And we're going to win.

We don't know what's going to happen so might as well fight for better. That's really my basic political orientation.

Thank you darling! My humble offering to the (mostly) loud and excitable music of my youth - www.nts.live

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

“People around the planet, in all kinds of configurations, in the face of many different kinds of challenges, are being historical protagonists, which is to say they are not only the victims of history. And that’s what matters to me more than anything.” @rwgilmoregirls.bsky.social

the thing to understand is that for many people the violence of order maintenance is simply not seen as violence in the first place

More than 50,000 Palestinians have been left homeless in less than a week due to “large-scale destruction” caused by Israeli attacks across Gaza City, according to Gaza’s Civil Defence.

Official answer tomorrow, and it will certainly be appealed.
