#TwinCities Unions Planning ‘Largest US #RentStrike in 100+ Years’ as #ICEOccupation Drives #EvictionCrisis

“Tenants in #Minnesota are in a crisis,” said #Minneapolis City Council Member #AishaChughtai. “The federal invasion forced many of our neighbors to stay home and devastated our #LocalEconomy.”

Stephen Prager, Feb 17, 2026

"Tenant and labor unions in Minneapolis and St. Paul have announced plans to carry out what they said would be the 'largest rent strike in the United States in the last 100 years.'

"Beginning on #March1, if Democratic Minnesota Gov. #TimWalz does not meet their urgent demands for an #EvictionMoratorium and #RentRelief, a coalition of nearly 26,000 workers has pledged to withhold rent, which they said could create a massive economic disruption.

"The plans were announced on Tuesday by the tenants union #TwinCitiesTenants, which is joined by five labor unions: Service Employees International Union (#SEIU) Local 26, SEIU Healthcare Minnesota/Iowa, UNITE HERE Local 17, the Amalgamated Transit Union (#ATU) 1005, and Communication Workers of America (#CWA) 7250.

"They argued that a freeze on rents is desperately needed after 'nearly three months of federal occupation' under President Donald #Trump’s '#OperationMetroSurge,' which sent nearly 3,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) and other immigration agents to the area, resulting in multiple fatal shootings and a wave of #CivilRights violations, including explicit #RacialProfiling."

Nein, es existiert keine Schnittstelle, die mit Menschen und Communities entwickelt wurde, um Kids & ihren Eltern Souveränität und Datensparsamkeit zu garantieren - und die verhindert, dass sich Internet-Nutzer:innen überall ausweisen müssen.

Wir haben einen Gold-Standard für derartige Anwendugnsentwicklungen und der heißt #CWA, Corona Warn App.

Statt diesem Standard sehen wir imo, wie Lobby-Gruppen und die Monopolplattformen um die Herrschaft über unsere Daten feilschen

@anneroth

Die EU-Kommission täte gut daran, sich mit den Communities abzustimmen, wie eine solche Schnittstelle Bürger- und Datenschutz-freundlich zu implementieren ist.

Btw.: So einen Entwicklungsprozess hatten wir schon mal: bei der Corona Warn App, #CWA.

Am Beispiel ePatientenakte, #ePA, in Deutschland kann man auch gut nachvollziehen, was passiert, wenn die politische Ebene - ob aus Borniertheit, Seilschaften-Sumpf oder aus Profit/Macht-Kalkül - die Bürgerinnen und Bürger nicht beteiligt.

Black Dog & Cat Syndrome Awareness Month is recognized every February which reminds us of the furry friends who are often left behind in animal shelters solely based on the color of their coat.

University of Utah healthcare and campus workers launch campaign to improve conditions

Salt Lake City, UT — On Saturday, February 7, over 100 campus and hospital workers at the University of Utah rallied to launch their “U for Who?” campaign. Workers are fighting to win parking stipends for all employees, safer staffing ratios for teachers and healthcare workers with compensation, respect for the university’s own meet-and-confer policy, and a sanctuary campus from immigration enforcement.

Setting aside the deliberately provocative lead-in, I'd like to talk about something about how unions work that I think a lot of leftists could learn from.

When you see a worker in trouble you have solidarity with them _first_. It doesn't matter if it has never happened to you personally, or if you don't know the specifics, you can figure out a time when you were degraded, or hurt, or treated without regard for your humanity by management. You can empathize and show up regardless because we are all victims under the capitalist system.

It's not about who this person is, what they might have done previously, whether the policy affects someone you know personally, or anything like that. You show up for them because they are a _fellow worker_.

It also goes back to: find ways to connect it back to how we are treated as workers. Every time.
