top retweets:
yes there's a CDC eviction moratorium in this country right now but i just met a houston couple who filed a CDC form, got $7k in rent relief, their landlord received it but decided to *return it* and evict them anyway, then CPS took their baby away because they were unhoused

Still no answer to this question: Who paid off Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees plus his $200,000 credit card debt plus his $1.2 million mortgage, and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat?

"Supreme Court votes 6-3 to strike down CDC eviction moratorium" in the middle of a still-raging pandemic.

Expand the Supreme Court and make these cruel, conscienceless six a permanent minority.

In our history, the Supreme Court has had as few as 5 & as many as 10 justices. 9 is NOT a magic # or constitutional requirement. The Republicans reduced the # to 8 for a year by unconstitutionally depriving Garland of the required advice & consent hearing. #AddJusticesNOW

Reminder: This does NOT impact California renters. The state’s eviction moratorium remains in effect. https://t.co/DbtZbeaL4V

When you tell someone facing eviction that they should “just get a job,” remember that a full time, minimum wage worker can afford rent in ZERO states in America.

ZERO.
We can’t let 11 million households be evicted in the midst of a pandemic. Congress must act. Now.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court lifts the federal eviction moratorium. In an unsigned 8-page opinion (with the three liberals dissenting), SCOTUS sides with a group of landlords who argued that the CDC lacked the authority to bar evictions during the pandemic.https://t.co/LNrCxd7f9X https://t.co/NecnZ90zgf
