  19. @RAHU

    Meet outside the State Library of Victoria on Saturday 30 May 2026 at 11 am and march to the #AthertonGardens #publichousing towers in Fitzroy & fight to save the towers, people's homes, and the communities in and around them.
    After the rally will be a community festival at the towers.

    Over 10,000 residents are set to be displaced, and 6,660 homes are set to be demolished, during an ever-worsening #housingcrisis.

    Change is not coming from the Government, Out of 227 sitting federal MPs and senators, only twelve declared no property ownership.

    one-bedroom “affordable housing” properties at $350 per week, is equal or higher than the rate of #Jobseeker itself, which begs the question — affordable for whom? Tying rent not to the tenant’s income but to the brutal private property rental market

  29. A quotation from Henry Commager

    What is the new loyalty? It is, above all, conformity. It is the uncritical and unquestioning acceptance of America as it is — the political institutions, the social relationships, the economic practices. It rejects inquiry into the race question or socialized medicine, or public housing, or into the wisdom or validity of our foreign policy. It regards as particularly heinous any challenge to what is called “the system of private enterprise,” identifying that system with Americanism. It abandons evolution, repudiates the once popular concept of progress, and regards America as a finished product, perfect and complete.

  34. The significance of this story is not only the immigration angle, but the mechanism: housing eligibility itself. HUD’s proposed rule would require verification of citizenship or eligible status for all residents in covered assisted housing, which could fundamentally change how mixed-status households are treated.
