TL;DR; Selling off land in places without jobs doesn’t create useful housing for people. What it does do is turn what had been public space into private space for the wealthy.

    Hey, we started making some changes as part of this term.

    Trump does more in six months than Biden managed in four years, despite having thinner Congressional margins and far less popular support.

    Again, this goes back to DeJoy. It goes back to ICE administration. It goes to Biden’s intervention to kneecap labor during the COVID era strike wave. It goes to Merrick Garland sitting on his hands for four fucking years while Republicans continued to commit crime after crime.

    Biden didn’t make progressive changes. He squandered his time in office, refused to impede Project 2025, and sent hundreds of billions of dollars into the pockets of Republican mega-donors that ultimately wrecked his VP’s chances at an electoral win.

    For what? So he could keep funding a genocide in Gaza?

    Republicans: Great, now we can deregulate more!

    Why did Jared Polis veto the anti-price gouging renter bill?

      Trump is also completely ignoring the law, to the point of trying to suspend habeus corpus.
