Every eviction is an act of violence. Whether it’s an eviction from a home, a tent, a camp. Every eviction is an act of violence. Whether it’s a pandemic, it’s summer, or it’s winter. Every eviction is an act of violence.

Kansas City Homeless Union made history today, winning at least 111 deeply affordable homes for people currently experiencing homelessness, good jobs, 500 hotel rooms to facilitate a transition to permanent housing, and a guaranteed seat at the table for future negotiations.

In two weeks, police in Chicago, Honolulu, and Minneapolis have shot and killed: Adam Toledo, 13 Travon Chadwell, 18 Anthony Alvarez, 22 Iremamber Sykap, 16 Daunte Wright, 20 All Black and brown boys. Killed by a police state that is irredeemable, let alone capable of reform.

When Philando Castile was murdered by police at a traffic stop in 2016, Minnesota invested $12 million in police training. Where was that training when they killed Daunte Wright just 10 miles from where Derek Chauvin sits on trial for murdering George Floyd?

We need to release our stockpile of unused AstraZeneca vaccines now. In India alone, almost 350,000 COVID-19 cases were reported today. When people in India and elsewhere desperately need help, we can't let vaccines sit in a warehouse, we need to get them where they'll save lives

Some of you aren’t getting it—It is our money, our bombs. We leveled the press buildings. We destroyed the homes. We are murdering Palestinian children.

I remember how media outlets used to pit Naomi Osaka against Serena Williams as the more "respectable" of the two. Now she's reminding y'all again that you can't control her either.

HOT TENANT SUMMER IS UNDERWAY. We have a canvass tomorrow (Saturday June 5). We will be knocking another 1000 doors. Meet at Trinity United (620 E Armour Blvd) at 11am sharp. We will provide breakfast, coffee, and a quick training. Will you join us?

Read the whole thread for the breakdown and analysis but this point is key. We’re talking about generational trauma not temporary inconvenience!

Excited to be a part of this conversation tomorrow about how restaurants build and sustain community

Why is the Mayor trying to end public and City Council engagement in process for incentivizing development?

Why is there now a fence around City Hall? And restricted access to the Mayor’s floor? Why have some of the boards and commissions cut off public comment? What’s with all the attacks on democratic process?

This Saturday's hottest event will be the KC Tenants Power candidate forum: 2-5 PM at the Mohart Center. 14 confirmed candidates, repping at-large and in-district council races, plus the Mayor. A little civics education, good ole fashioned political discourse, and much more!
