Following the continued race to the dark side, in Grants Pass v. Johnson, the @USSupremeCourt just voted for Jim Crow, Black Codes, Apartheid, Sundown Towns, and structural violence instead of the Human Right to Housing and Services. #TheyNotLikeUs #Resistance

Did a little project on the housing conditions of grad students. There are 14,300 of us at UCLA, and were only 952 affordable units for rent within 10 miles of campus in 2021 census data. The whole county only had 3,163 units for rent we could afford that year.
