In a follow-up to his and Brenna Bhandar's "Slumlord Empire," Alberto Toscano writes on the genocidal plans for the "redevelopment" of Gaza in the wake of ethnic cleansing. Trump, Curtis Yarvin, Blair, and other elites are scheming for accumulation and dispossession.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.
Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Trump destroys our source of information about jobs. This is beyond irresponsible.
He hates facts. He rejects truth. He doesn't want the public to know what's really happening.

There's no place for institutional finance in rental markets. It's a predatory extraction machine that robs the poor and middle.
But one thing I'd add: we should stop calling these people "investors". They don't "invest". They buy up and milk existing assets. 🧵

AOC: Trump has insisted that this bill does not cut Medicaid. He has also said he doesn’t think I’m a smart person. It doesn’t take a smart person to know when you are being lied to. President Trump, you are either being lied to, or you are lying to the American people.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 109 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
