Walnut Capital going hard on pressing charges in support of genocide. But then again, why *wouldn't* one of the leading COVID evictors be into the mas death and displacement of Palestinians? pghindependent.com/post/pittsburg…

Evictions have devastating effects on households & communities. Yet nationally, only 3% of tenants in eviction cases have an atty, compared to 83% of landlords, which exacerbates imbalances of power. Join us in calling for a Right to Counsel in PGH! bit.ly/RTCnow

Filling in places the unhoused sleep at with rocks is nasty work. I’ve heard of hostile architecture, but hostile landscaping is a new one. #Pittsburgh

@ProHousingPgh you fucking scabs

It's becoming increasingly obvious that city policies are blocking much needed homes and have become a barrier to affordability. When will our leaders take note? post-gazette.com/opinion/editor…
