Tenants Launch US’s First Ever Rent Debt Strike Against Corporate Landlord

Remember Debt Collective, the group that helped start the student debtors movement? They've announced the "EQR Nine," who are refusing to pay back rent to the nation's fifth largest landlord.

"Anarchists run Portland" seems to suggest a lack of understanding of what anarchy actually means.

The Bezos-mandated right turn at WaPo is on full display. On October 7, what's left of the editorial board praises Israel, no mention of Gaza civilians above the fold.

There's also a nice profile of a grinning conversion "therapist" who says being queer is just like having an eating disorder.

Trump’s ICE Has Started Targeting Activists, Not Just Immigrants

As Trump sucks up more of our data, ICE added online activists to its target list, demanding Meta hand over personal info attached to Instagram accounts for StopIce.net and more.

My report includes tips on how to protect yourself!

Actual quote from Secretary of War (grrrr) Pete Hegseth, addressing the top US military brass during the unprecedented meeting today:

"No more beardos. The era of rampant and ridiculous shaving profiles is done.”

On top of everything else, the Trump admin is pushing to open the last remaining truly wild wilderness up for logging and development.

Ag Sec Brooke Rollins gave the public little time to comment on the proposal -- and 99% are opposed. Will the forests be saved by the admin's sheer incompetence?

Sen. Jack Reed has said that the Pentagon has provided Congress with “no evidence” to back its claims on the legitimacy of the boat strike that killed 11 people who experts say were civilians. “They have offered no positive identification that iits crew were members of Tren de Aragua.”

“ICE has been reported outside of schools, at bus stops, and in neighborhoods where children are walking to and from class. For immigrant students, simply walking into school can feel like stepping into danger.”

Sending love to everyone who's doing what they can, where they can, across Chicago right now. I love y'all. ❤

RFK Jr. Faces Widespread Calls to Resign in Wake of Heated Senate Hearing

Experts say RFK Jr. does not seem to understand his job. Democrats see him as a weakness in Trump’s cabinet — and a clear and present danger to public health. Key Republicans are losing patience too.

RFK Jr sounded exactly like Darth Vader breathing into the microphone during the entire Senate Finance Committee hearing this morning. I'll have an in-depth report tomorrow...

chorus creators are really being defensive (kinda like they just got caught with their hands in a dark money cookie jar)

Last Friday, a catastrophic explosion erupted at a major lubricant manufacturing facility in a predominantly Black town near Baton Rouge. Oily droplets spattered from the smoky sky as far as 20 miles away, coating rooftops, cars, and lawns in a slick, shimmering film that glistened like tar.

These Billionaires Have Already Spent $19 Million in a Bid to Defeat Zohran Mamdani

Billionaires and the companies they own (think AirBnb and Doordash) are spending big on the NYC mayoral race. My latest is a collaboration with LittleSis @mapthepower.bsky.social check it out!

Judge Blocks Kristi Noem From Deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda — for Now

Critics say Trump is putting Abrego Garcia “through literal hell” and that efforts to deport him amount to a power grab that puts everyone at risk of being disappeared by the state.

True. Also works at eviction court!

I was visiting Braddock PA outside of Pittsburgh when reporting this story about the US Steel coke plant that exploded in nearby Clairton -- and the pollution monitoring demanded by residents that Trump nixed.

I could see how benzene can settle in the river valley!

the republican party's model for response to a natural disaster is katrina www.texastribune.org/2025/07/31/t...

The company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline were the fossil fuel industry’s top contributors to a super PAC supporting President Donald Trump during the first half of 2025, making a combined $25 million in contributions to that PAC alone.

There's some really good analysis on NATO buried in there, from anarchists in Ukraine. This is from right before the invasion, it's part of what informing me at the time.

I hope you both completed my reading assignment from Twitter. Here's another one: crimethinc.com/2022/02/15/w...
