Wow. Please read this. I spent ten years of my life working on and through what became Race for Profit and so to see it here, in the paper of record, is quite moving. And it’s a good book that tells an important history that can help us make sense of our current housing moment.

An important preservation effort that will keep Stonehouse Square in Northeast affordable for residents (both now and long into the future!).

From my beautiful friend and comrade Gary Younge...his last column for The Guardian. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Yes, we should all care about these rent subsidies so people can stay stably housed.

An important read:

The quote ringing over & over in my mind in 2020 is that good will is not public policy. Good landlords aren’t the same as rights under the law. Good cops aren’t the same as actual experienced safety everywhere. Good biz aren’t universal guarantees against wage theft/virus spread

I took a detour from hot takes to consider how the words of the Combahee River Collective resonate today. Their anti-capitalism, solidarity & internationalism are still everything we need to understand and organize in this moment. newyorker.com/news/our-colum…

If you want peace, work for justice. Start with what you can control. You. People's response to this moment will vary based on experience & position. We all have a role to play, though. How can YOUR walk foster a spirit of justice? Of courage? Fortitude?

I still see “his or her” in various communications. His or her? Is this the 14th century?! Should we all wear codpieces and put leeches on our eyeballs?! Use “they/their/them”!

Excited about this big announcement — congrats to my MN DEED colleague marc majors!!

There is desperate desire to build a mov’t for abortion rights. What are the powerfully resourced orgs doing to help facilitate this? Instead of simply pouring millions into an election months away, invest in organizing & building to stop SCOTUS right now.

Love this—what a great opportunity! 🎨

Indeed, having none of it.

i'm just a transportation communications director... standing in front of 5.7M people in a state that gets a lot of snow... begging you every winter to understand that "pretreating" is not a magic solution to stop roads from getting icy

When my daughter turns on the TV, she’ll see an Indigenous woman playing professional basketball right here in Minnesota.   Representation matters. I’m so excited Alissa Pili is joining the Minnesota Lynx. Welcome to Minnesota, Alissa!
