Thanks CAAAV for inviting me to the Chinatown Tenants Union Summer Celebration today. It was great to join tenant leaders, workers, seniors, and especially young people who fought hard for the rent freeze.

A group of Detroit tenants is challenging the way evictions are handled in court, which they hope will improve housing conditions.
But landlords warn this approach could destabilize the city’s already fragile rental market.
They might both be right. The latest by @amondry.bsky.social:

Landlord, Michael E Heijer accidentally CCed the entire Seattle city council, asking fellow landlords to testify against rental junk fee banning. Said renters who testified in favor of banning junk fees were the “unemployed left trying to stick it to the man.”

Hi. On today's episode, @kavehmd.bsky.social joins the show to talk about Abdul El-Sayed's victory in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, the GOP's inability to handle Muslim-sounding names, and RFJ Jr's virtually fact-free appearance on CNN.

New Hampshire has passed a no-fault eviction law, making it easier for landlords to evict tenants and harder for those tenants to defend themselves in court.
