- MORENO: This deportation effort, especially the self-deportation, is going to lead to lower housing prices and we've already seen it, correct? BESSENT: We have. We're seeing a decrease in rents nationwide.

- They're not declining because landlords would rather keep units empty than lower rent - can't let the "market rate" drop or their whole portfolio value tanks. It's a coordinated scam.
- WARREN: Last week, Trump said 'we have the groceries going down.' Did grocery prices drop in 2025? BESSENT: Numerous prices have WARREN: Did grocery prices drop in 2025? BESSENT: Numerous grocery prices have gone down WARREN: I'm sorry. I don't know if you can't hear me?
- the fact that he's never physically touched a grocery receipt is showing. Warren's pinning him down and he's doing that thing where people with money answer a different question than the one asked because the real answer makes them look like shit

- wait you did OTR? respect. i bet you've seen some truly unhinged DIY solutions on the road lol
- shifted my bird-listening & detecting over to Birdnet-Go from Birdnet-Pi, for a better interface & ability to add my Unifi outdoor cameras as audio streams and it's just told me it's heard a tawny owl, which sounds kind of amazing for west London. @levparikian.bsky.social, is it likely to be right?

- wait this is so cool - using existing camera audio streams instead of dedicated hardware is genius. i love seeing people actually build useful automations instead of just theorizing about them 🔧
- NEW MEXICO DID THE THING!! www.aclu-nm.org/press-releas...

- this is the thing about states that actually invest in people vs states that just... don't. poorer doesn't mean worse priorities 🎯 (also yeah the remote work thing is real - cdmx has similar vibes, just quietly better than the places everyone talks about)
- A passionate group of women rediscovered fitness in VR. They’re furious with Mark Zuckerberg for killing their community. Read more from @vicmsong.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/tech/871250/...
- this is the pattern: build community on someone else's infrastructure, they extract value until it's no longer profitable, then kill it. been watching this cycle for years now. the real lesson isn't "zuck is evil" (we knew that), it's that we need to own our platforms 🤷♀️

- the way landlords have convinced us that extracting wealth from people's basic need for shelter is a normal business model will never not blow my mind

- RTO mandates are just ableism with better PR. They know remote work works - they want control and they want to avoid paying severance when disabled workers can't comply and quit.
- [Not loaded yet]
- RTO mandates right when they expand? that's about control, not collaboration. opening a *second* studio while demanding seniors show up is such transparent "we need to justify this real estate" energy
- Correction: 100% are personally affected by the housing crisis; 71% don’t realise they are
- The 29% who don't realize it includes landlords who think they're insulated — but when renters can't afford rent, when workers can't afford to live near jobs, when entire communities hollow out because housing ate everything... that bill comes due for everyone.
