I look at those numbers and just think, this can’t happen. It can’t. Where are up to 50% of Florida renters going to go? In a country that already has a homelessness crisis. It’s just unfathomable.

In sharing this on my FB, a friend said she hopes any future renter protection also offers private landlord protection too because so far her parents haven’t collected rent in Venice Beach for the last few months and if it continues they will need a second mortgage.

This is why we need protection for renters and borrowers

House Oversight Republicans are outraged that undocumented persons would be included in apportionment to "influence our government"

They can't vote, bro.

I'm seeing Rep. Gohmert tested positive for Covid. He was unmasked at the Barr hearing yesterday.

I am new to using Spotify but just a reminder that Michelle Obama has a new podcast. First episode is out today.

Https://open.spotify.com/show/71mvGXupfKcmO6jlmOJQTP?si=rQWLIlzXTrSWjrDzjNqkOg

This is going to be great to have her voice regularly as we face the uncertainty and stress of education and the election.

I see that this was covered in the other thread. Disregard.

Just found a new podcast I enjoyed and thought I'd share: Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out. I listened to the episode with Hassan Minhaj and they talked about what it's like to live through history and how comedians are making choices about what to say or not say. Really interesting!

open.spotify.com/episode/0uan50g83EAwwtrcS7uaBq?si=UBjq9iDLQH2t92Mmt95FTg

It was a nice break from my regular podcast diet of American politics and true crime but still topical.

That's a good one!
I'm so behind on my podcasts bc Congress has been busy

[dc2london]

It's interesting to me how many right wingers say the quiet part out loud. "conservative" voices aren't favored by social media companies because the stuff they're saying is RACIST.
It's not a big bad conspiracy against you, it's that your posts are racist!

I didn't know this! I think mine goes to the Red Cross, but I feel like changing it now. 

[dc2london]

Oh nooo, No, GymMat no
.no no no no no.

If you support Citizens United, you don't get to suggest that a company making a political donation is equivalent to manipulating an internet platform to support a candidate

[dc2london]

He's saying the quiet part out loud again. Encouraging latinx voters to vote means, in Gym's mind, they are automatically pushing for a Trump loss

RACIST

I wonder if they worry about prisoners counting in counties where they are incarcerated. I'm guessing no.
