@claycane.bsky.social going to remind everyone reagan privatized #AffordableHousing & every gqp POTUS Nixon thru tru mp have slashed #housing funding, cutting supply, rehab, maintenance of existg PH. Most ppl receivg #voucher subsidies ARE poor WHITEs.

HUD data on demographics. It’s not more current bc gqp stopped requirement of reporting demographics of poverty bc it shows yt ppl use social services the most INCLUDING VOUCHERS. Gqp stopped collection of housing data the same way they prohibit collecting gun health data. Same motivation.

How Reagan Nixon privatized subsidized housing then SLASHED funding of housing. The reason yt middle class built wealth after WW2 is bc Feds subsidized buying of their private homes thru the gi bill but excluded Black ppl.

Feds since the 1970s have actually cut subsidizing housing across the board. HUD doesnt build AH anymore, Reagan moved it to private equity via the LIHTC irs program. Right now HUD administers gqp created vouchers that don’t recirculate. Also, bc gqp slashed budgets, it slashed maintenance subsidies
on EXISTING BUILDINGS BC by definition public housing doesn’t make a profit thru rents. Then you get a declining property bc the vouchers made up the gap. So when u cut maintenance and vouchers you get buildings going into decline

Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right!

Chicago aldermen have traditionally measured success by potholes filled, block party bounce houses delivered, votes counted.

But with President Donald Trump’s deportation blitz in full swing, some are adding once unimaginable duties: getting tear-gassed and organizing legions of volunteers.

A severe typhoon hit Alaska and has destroyed Alaskan Native villages. Homes are floating down the river. FEMA cuts and the use of the National guard to terrorize cities means they are not receiving critical rescue support and aid. And of course the media is NOT reporting on it.

So basically this is Iranian Hostage Crisis 2.0, just with a 9-month delay in the payoff for no particular reason.

Il Pomodoro @dabenner.bsky.social · 1d

This seems like confirmation

Then Mr. Trump won the presidency back, and the Biden administration was determined to get a cease-fire in place by January, before it left office. It drafted a peace plan, much of which was quite similar to the “20 point plan” Mr. Trump recently issued. There was slow progress: More than 130 hostages had been released by the time the January cease-fire took place.

“We handed over a cease-fire that silenced the guns, had hostages coming out and aid going in, along with a day-after plan to make it permanent,” Mr. Blinken said. But when the new administration took over, “the moment was squandered,” he added. “Israel and Hamas went back to war for eight months.”

Israeli officials tell a different story. Mr. Biden was a lame duck, they noted, and disengaged. Mr. Trump was a known entity, less likely to lecture Mr. Netanyahu in private or public. They put their money on a new president, and a new negotiating team
