I am delighted to finally see this volume that I, @lucaspoy.bsky.social , and fourteen other authors have been working on for a few years (without any external funding, it should be added), as a printed book. This is likely the first international anthology on the history of tenant organising.

The Israeli military killed 46 Palestinian children overnight.
That's 10 more than the total number of Israeli children killed on 7th October.
Yet there was more outrage over the fictional beheadings of Israeli babies than these 46 kids.
That's easy: because there's no outrage
