I was already sort of expecting this decision re: WV v. EPA, because they were indicating that they were going the major questions route, and with the other big cases this term where that's been part of their decision (OSHA's vaccine mandate and the CDC eviction moratorium) it's not gone in favor of the government.

Sorry to be a disgusting shitlib centrist on main again, but this underlines how important it is to vote (at all levels) because unless the government department in question is explicitly authorized or delegated an authority, the indication from SCOTUS is that they're going to side with petitioners and claimants who challenge the government.

“It is clear from discussions in the Confédération Générale du Travail Unitaire (CGTU) political bureau and the Comintern that the communists were the catalyst for the development of the movement of the unemployed in the Parisian region. A concerted effort on their part explains the pattern of geographical expansion in January and February. Just as the political impetus shaped expansion of the movement, however, so it contributed to decline as the party and CGTU expended their meagre resources, especially the energies of their activists, on the electoral campaign of May 1932 instead. The unemployed responded to communist advances and the presence of communist councils meant a very different orientation and conditions for particular CdCs (Comité des Chômeurs).

A municipality like Saint-Denis or Ivry could put resources at the disposal of the unemployed. The existence of communist officials and staff strengthened the work of the mass organization of the party, a factor of particular significance given the variations in the level of unemployment. Furthermore, communist councils made great efforts to be seen to be alleviating the lot of the unemployed, providing a range of services for them. The propaganda of the unemployed movement repeated the virtues of municipal communism on many occasions and used these councils to condemn the shortcomings of non-communist municipalities.

Because, with the exception of the Nord, there were only a few communist-held councils outside the Parisian region, the councils of the capital’s ‘red belt’ were held up as examples throughout the land. In Ivry, that bastion of industrial working-class communism, alongside cheap housing and children’s holiday camps, the council funded measures targeting the unemployed and their families: free milk and school meals, health checks, warm winter clothes, a soup kitchen, subsidized rents, and a moratorium on evictions of the unemployed for rent arrears. In Saint-Denis, Jacques Doriot paid particular attention to mass meetings of unemployed residents, speaking regularly during 1931 and 1932 to crowds of up to 850. Indeed, the presence of communists in the mairies assisted the early development of the movement.

Early demonstrations and mass meetings of the unemployed took place in the communist-held towns of Saint-Denis, Villejuif, Vitry and Bobigny. Under pressure from the Comintern, the communist leadership sought to launch the unemployed movement from Paris. This meant starting from the PCF’s Parisian strongholds.

In non-communist parts of the region, the CdCs adopted a hostile posture towards their municipal councils. This antagonism was a fundamental aspect of the first phase of the unemployment movement and much more characteristic of its press. In communist areas, by contrast, denunciation was directed towards the departmental conseil général or the national government. The standard mode of operation of the CdCs – the elaboration of a list of demands, followed by delegations to the mairies, supported by protests – only really made sense in non-communist areas. Shrill condemnation of socialist, neo-socialist and, worse still, Parti d’Unité Prolétarienne (Party of Workers’ Unity – PUP, hence pupiste) councils contrasted sharply with comments on communist councils. Thus in Pantin, the CdC was one wing of a concerted communist campaign against the neo-socialist Auray, which eventually bore fruit when communists took office in 1938.

The local committees adopted a range of approaches from militant demonstrations – sometimes clashing with the police – to self-help efforts, like children’s parties or soup kitchens. Some unemployed committees combined both. The CdC of the 11th arrondissement organized a children’s Christmas party, and stormed and occupied the mairie in the same month. The CdC of the 15th arrondissement pooled the skills of the unemployed in co-operative fashion by offering lectures, hairdressing and shoe repairs, besides scuffling with police outside the mairie. The committee of the 18th organized their own soup kitchen and mobilized against evictions. In Choisy-le-Roi they demonstrated, and sold meat and vegetables to the unemployed along co-operative lines. Whilst the communists decried bourgeois charity and urged the formation of self-defence groups to confront the police, they did not openly condemn self-help or advice on benefits and representation for the unemployed.

...

Even when this process was executed perfectly, it was not a recipe for sustained activity for, unlike the workplace, a constant turnover of personnel and lack of routine characterized unemployment. Frustration, or success, for a list of locally generated demands would return the group to its starting-point and this accounts for the short life span of many of the local groups after their initial appearance. The majority of committees submitted only one or two reports to Le Cri des Chômeurs, and two fifths of them entered no more than one. Only ten out of ninety-seven committees sustained enough activity over the year to have four or five reports in the ten issues of the paper that exist. There was a clear connection between the rise and fall of unemployment and the vitality of the committees. The greatest number of committee reports coincided with the unemployment peak of March 1932. The reports declined thereafter with the falling numbers of jobless...

...

Apart from exerting pressure on the municipal authorities, the local unemployed committees reported two major campaigns: over evictions and working hours. Le Cri recounted dozens of episodes successfully preventing evictions in the Paris region. In March 1932 three evictions were thwarted in the 11th arrondissement; in the 18th, after a landlord had been beaten and evicted a tenant, 200 unemployed forced the landlord to take the evictee back; in Cachan, 500 tried to prevent the eviction of an unemployed woman who lived with her children and a sick mother; and the evictions of unemployed foreigners were halted in Juvisy and Houilles. Le Cri showed a photograph of a group from Chaville who had prevented the sale of furniture seized by his landlord to pay for an unemployed man’s rent arrears. Despite the attempts of twenty police officers and several arrests, the Comité des Chômeurs and the tenants’ association succeeded in stopping the sale. On their demonstration they had chanted ‘Bread and work! Down with the vultures and ceilings on rent rises of 15 per cent!’

Committees protested against the poverty associated with widespread short-time working. They called for special relief measures and demonstrated at plants where the practice produced meagre wages. The CdC at Choisy-le-Roi, for instance, campaigned for recruits in a factory paying 3 francs 50 centimes to 4 francs per hour for a twenty-four-hour week. By the same token, the committees protested against excessive overtime as this kept others out of a job. Amongst other (often less successful) examples, in January 1932, two hundred attended a protest at the Lally factory at Asnières and succeeded in ending overtime working. The varied composition and short life span of the unemployed group could be transcended. This relied on finding other focal points of struggle and sufficient anger over local housing or workplace issues to elicit a response from the unemployed.”

Reading the peoples cdcs external review of the cdc and feeling the urge to eat cinder blocks

Cdc is staffed by such fucking ghoul bastards. Its infuriating. The end to the eviction moratorium is especially enraging. Gears of capitalism chewing peoples body up and throwing them to the fucking wolves when they get long covid at their fucking jobs that wont enforce masking or improve ventilation. And then these homeless people get thrown in prison and end up doing labor for these companies anyway to pay for phone calls or soap or toilet paper.

Normal society we live in. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on earth.

The divisions between President Joe Biden and congressional lawmakers almost brought 3.6 million Americans out of their houses, but the last-minute heroics by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) put a new eviction ban in place to divert the housing crisis. As the lawmakers went into shock with the presidential inaction, the Democratic House of Representative Maxine Waters said, “We thought that the White House was in charge.” (Rep. Maxine Wates) The White House had little authority to offer any such extension on the eviction ban, as the Supreme Court ruling against the eviction ban put everyone in the dead-end tunnel. As millions of Americans saw homelessness coming, the expiration of the eviction ban was a threat not only on humanitarian grounds but also to stop COVID spread as the delta variant continues prompting chaos into the country. Last Minute CDC Heroics Saved People from Eviction After the presidential and legislative tussle, the CDC has provided a 60-day moratorium to residential areas with a high rate of COVID-19 spread. The new orders are vulnerable to be attacked by the Supreme Court soon, as both the CDC and judiciary come to a crossroads on the eviction crisis. The order would save almost 90% of the potentially vulnerable people from eviction. The president tried to implement a ban from the White House but could not do so due to legal complications in the matter. The new 60-day moratorium will provide renters with additional time as the Court proceedings might buy some time for Democrats. The administration’s actions of providing $21.6 billion as emergency rental aid to the renters to help prevent the eviction coupled with this step are expected to save people until the end of the current wave of the pandemic. The processing of the $46.5 billion of collective aid approved by Congress for the emergency assistance of renters has been terribly slow, with most of the states struggling to spend even a single cent as of now out of the donations. During the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, activists and policy experts took to the streets to fight for tenant rights and relief. As a result, the federal government announced an eviction ban and billions in rental assistance. Congress signed an eviction moratorium in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act in March 2020. The act was limited in scope; therefore, the Trump Administration imposed a nationwide moratorium with help from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC suggests that almost 6.9 million Americans were behind on their rents, owing a collective amount of $20 billion to landlords. Republicans Politicizing the Matter, Once Again The Biden Administration is facing backlash from the judiciary and Republicans after the CDC extended the eviction ban for 60 days. As Democrats walked the path of humanitarianism once again, Republicans are politicizing the matter, as Pennsylvania Republican Sean Parnell called the extension unconstitutional. Republicans are equating the matter with the abundance of jobs issue, believing that these incentives can stop people from going to work. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended the step, saying that the moratorium is not targeted nationwide, henceforth having legal justification. Landlords in Action to End the Ban to Get their Pockets Filled The pressure group badly influenced by this decision of the CDC are the landlords and realtors. One such influential group has challenged the measure in the DC federal court, asking them to overturn the “unlawful” protection. The Alabama Association of Realtors and other landlord groups said in their emergency filing that the new ban was imposed by the government to shift the blame on to the courts for ending the moratorium, labeling that the protection is inspired by “nakedly political reason.” Final Thoughts It is only a

matter of time before the court can overturn the moratorium completely, putting the vulnerable people on the verge of eviction. All Democrats need to do is to hasten the pace of vaccinations so that once it happens, it must not be an instrument of multiplying the virus among the masses. As the number of homeless people will increase significantly with the expiration of the eviction ban, social unrest is also bound to explode exponentially. The federal government can also push for vaccination drives for the people on the verge of eviction once the bans lifts. This way, these people may not end up being the carriers of the contagious disease that has brought the world to its knees.

Landlord Lease Negotiations and COVID Evictions

If you’re facing an eviction, you may be wondering how to proceed. There are many ways to deal with this problem, including mediation, arbitration, or repayment plans. Some landlords will even work with tenants to negotiate an agreement to leave without obtaining an eviction judgment. Your best bet may be to seek the assistance of an experienced landlord lease negotiation lawyer.

Students at the Wake Forest University School of Law collaborated with other organizations to develop a multilingual information video series aimed at helping tenants in low-income neighborhoods. These videos were aired by local community groups and social media, maximizing the impact of the ERA campaign. Law students at the school’s Camden campus also established a Housing Justice Clinic, a pro bono program aimed at increasing eviction defense. The clinic also connected tenants with rental assistance programs. In addition, students also created a housing law manual for providers.

If you’re a landlord who wants to end the tenancy of a tenant, you should understand the law regarding evictions. If you’re facing an eviction in COVID, you must give proper notice to the tenant. It’s important not to ignore the notice. It’s not unusual for landlords to commence an eviction case a day after the lease expires.

It’s also important to consider new state law when it comes to evictions. In addition, some local governments have implemented additional eviction rules. If the landlord and tenant are able to work out an agreement through negotiations, it’s much easier to avoid a costly court battle. Whether the landlord and tenant are able to come to an agreement, the landlord and tenant should communicate with each other in a straightforward and open manner. While landlord-tenant lawyer letters are common, direct telephone conversations may be more effective.

There is no need for you to panic, as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has implemented a moratorium to delay evictions in COVID-19 affected areas. However, landlords should register with the Department of Housing within five days of receiving a notice from a tenant about the effects of COVID-19. The moratorium ends in 2021, and there’s no need to take unnecessary risks.

Are Richland County Property Courts Following The Law?

Since the lift of the CDC Moratorium on August 26th, 2021, Civil Courts such as Master-In-Equity and Magistrate Courts have been overwhelmed with eviction cases. Most recently a Master-In-Equity Judge was removed due to inappropriate handling of cases. With these courts being overwhelmed one has to ask: Are they following the Law? , or are they merely closing out cases to bring their dockets…

How the Supreme Court's conservatives influenced the ruling against the CDC mask requirement

How the Supreme Court’s conservatives influenced the ruling against the CDC mask requirement

Conservative justices have been ruling against Covid-19 measures since the start of the pandemic, including in January as the majority invalidated a vaccine requirement for large companies and, last summer, when it struck down a moratorium on evictions. No high court rulings have involved a federal mask requirement, as Monday’s case did, but they have echoed similar distrust for governmental…

a snapshot of the violence of U.S. housing policy at this moment of the pandemic (early sep. 2021)

"Blackstone to Buy $7.3 Billion of AIG Housing, Insurance Assets"

"California promised 100% rent forgiveness for struggling tenants. Most are still waiting"

U.S. economy transfers massive amount of wealth from poor to rich, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic

6,200,000 people are behind on rent and at risk of eviction

State programs fail to stop evictions or cancel rent and are ineffective at distributing aid

The Supreme Court rules the CDC eviction moratorium unconstitutional

Private funds are buying homes en masse, including Affordable Housing

COVID-19 cases rise as evictions rise.

Every level of U.S. government, in collaboration with the private housing market, is set to kill off its poorest people to enforce its system of private housing

these points are only a handful out of the current state of housing. I can't stress how catastrophic it is and will grow to be. No amount of

By Struggle-La Lucha

Six judges on the U.S. Supreme Court have overturned the federal ban on evictions. The Aug. 26 ruling threatens to throw 11 million families — with 30 million people — into the street.

The Alabama Association of Realtors that petitioned the court to overturn the eviction ban represents the same bigots who fought fair housing laws in the 1960s.

A moratorium on evictions and foreclosures was enacted by Congress in 2020 during the worst capitalist economic crisis since the Great Depression. Over 30 million people were made jobless while the coronavirus was killing hundreds of thousands of people.

Millions are still jobless and can’t pay the rent or mortgage. Yet Congress let the absolutely necessary ban on evictions lapse.

It was only because of mass outrage — and a 5-day sit-in led by Representative Cori Bush — that forced the Biden Administration to act. The Centers for Disease Control issued a ban on evictions citing the new surge of COVID-19 cases and deaths.

The CDC gathers information about diseases and then releases guidance about those diseases to the country. The CDC does not make laws in this country. It’s not allowed to. Under the U.S. Constitution, making laws is the exclusive role of Congress. You vote for your senators and congressmen and they decide what the rules are. That’s known as representative democracy. It’s been our system for nearly 250 years. But apparently, it is now over. . . .

Where did Rochelle Walensky get the power to do this, to suspend private property rights in America? The answer is, she simply asserted the power. Walensky claimed she had the authority, and no one stopped her from exercising it. This morning she signed an official-looking order declaring that her opinion is now the law, and so it is the law. But wait, you say. That doesn’t seem very American. Shouldn’t somebody vote on this? If we’re going to continue to pretend this is a democracy, and you hear that on television constantly, then shouldn’t our elected lawmakers make the laws? Nope. And they’re not going to. Nancy Pelosi has refused to call a vote on the matter, and she runs the Congress, she decides. Most Republicans haven’t said a word. That means that an unelected college professor you hadn’t heard of six months ago is now in charge of your country.

If you’re wondering how all of this can possibly be legal, rest assured that it’s not — it’s not even arguably legal. We know for a fact that it’s not. The Supreme Court just ruled on the question, specifically. The court found that the CDC does not have the right to institute a nationwide eviction moratorium. Period. Only Congress can do that. Now, the court didn’t make us guess on their view on this, the court put that in writing, in the clearest possible language. There's no debate about that. The Biden Administration just ignored what the court said.

So note. The cdc eviction moratorium is useless if you've got conservative judges in your area to let landlords push a challenge through.

This is why we've got to fucking take courts back on all levels. I was told delays I had to take to avoid covid exposure meant I hadn't made "best efforts" and the moratorium didn't apply to me. (I had a two day delay getting a check for my landlord because I had to wait to be able to get a new mask so I could go to the store. I was told I should have....gone to the store to get a mask. Yeah.)

The judge also basically told me I was lying about having an autoimmune disease and didn't give any chance to prove it. Pretty sure she figured out me and my "roommate" were a gay couple and was being particularly unpleasant about that too. So that's great.

So yeah. Even with the cdc thing Republicans are finding ways to get people tossed out in the middle of the pandemic.

(Fun facts about the judge. Rich conservative white woman who lists her work with local Republican groups as "community volunteering". Yeah....Wonder why she treats poor people like vermin? No idea. /s)

Who Kicks Out Paid Hotel Guests During Christmas *Pandemic 2020? [Richmond Inn & Suites Trudi Veals SMC Hotels Delton Smith Wyndham Hotels Trademark Collection] Executive Order Aside, Hotels, Landlords Resort to Self-Help Eviction [50 Days: TIME TO MAKE THE LAWSUITS]

"Revenge of the Janitor and Maid" a hospitality story

There stood Mike at my door, nervously at first, then slowly inflating amidst his ungoverned posse comitatus (always hallways, and this time full of shams), in his best “break your kneecaps” performance -- and also mercurially like Dickens, who’d decided to throw Tiny Tim a three-hour-bone-window -- before Tim or ME, could use said window for my own auto-defenestration.

Get-shit-and-leave, was the command, bellicose from recollected cop shows, or neighborhood escapades -- this shit was keeping him from some TV.

However unwieldy Mike the Janitor’s authoritarian impersonation (no doubt, the inequity of his having witnessed it from the big-end of the telescope), the authority he lacked, he now wielded, previously hacked, in a very ‘special circumstances’ supplementary determination only by Hizhonor’s erudite discretion -- ‘special’ being synonymous HERE with this NO WRIT, NO ORDER, NO COURT EVICTION, NO WARNING, NO CAUSE, NO COURT OPEN, NO LEGAL WAY TO EVICT DURING A PRESIDENTIAL EVICTION MORATORIUM WHICH SOMEHOW THE COP HAD NO CLUE OR CARE ABOUT eviction, displacement, seizing, COMMANDEERING, of and from this PAID IN FULL IN ADVANCE, NEVER LATE, RESIDENTIAL STATUS 10-MONTH TENANCY DWELLING property or person dwelling in said property, or affecting process, AND ALL WITHOUT authority, also LOOTED, by falsely commandeering such authority to the benefit of the unlawful action; and by way of utilizing an official party, under whose dominion the correct application of legal court-ordered process might be deemed lawful and credible, and under whose false pretenses in commission of said action, and during “Emergency Act" to the constitution had been recognized, in which these actions considered hazardous or forbidden if carried out, and unlawful (under CDC State of Emergency, Eviction Moratorium), enacted in order to help combat the spread of COVID-19 from enforced homelessness, due to the close quarters of shelters, of which evictions would multiply ...

But, no matter, this action had been autonomously carried out on Christmas, no manager on duty, and, as if all of this were not incredible enough ...

I was illegally evicted BY THEIR JANITOR -- but slyly under the direction of the 25-year General Manager of this formerly “Best Western” Richmond Inn & Suites -- from desuetude, which is their business, by venerable 80-year, until O. Harrison Smith’s recent passing, now, straight from middle-aged Cotillion wedlock, a dyed-in-the-ivy, co-blueblood member of Shreveport’s elite Socialite daughters and sons, whose nuptials, as antediluvian as a Tennessee Williams Play, this was their troth, plopped down in ever-so-sartorial, Old Folks at Home, Stephen Foster-loving, Matin Luther King, Jr., eschewing sooo Southern it made this southerner sick, Social Section of Shreveport's newspaper, this betrothal, bought and paid for, 100 times over (Harrison is one of the most notably generous givers to that dowager lovingly scraping by called the Met Opera), by Daddy Harrison Smith, devoted benefactor, artsy type cat - which I like, and seemingly, stand-up, self-made -- as opposed to his one, of four, disappointing scion, snag-toothed unmarriageable, Frat / Yuppie / Country Club Shreveporter -- President, only posthumously upon assuming by inheritance, overseer of family biz, SMC Hotels Group, Shreveport, which his esteemed daddy ran until his death, when he called in late, until last year.

Harrison Smith.

AND also, very recently elected benign President / Figurehead (unofficial) President of the more pretense and booze than Hotels and Rules -- (re)movers and (palsy) shakers' Good Ol’ Boy Lodge, called Louisiana Hotels and Lodging Association (whose updated site needs Deltoid’s first order of business -- promotion from Director to President), which lists him as:

Delton Smith

Richmond Suites Hotel

Baton Rouge, LA

purportedly, participatory, as part of the guild called American Hotels and Lodging Association AHLA -- but try finding LHLA online, besides its own vanity website ...

... (cont. from above)

and a duped member of the BRPD, whose color he also shared, with the other maid in the posse, and whose ignorance or willful indifference to this blatantly racist, unlawful, wanton travesty, it was occurring on his invoked authority, therefor by the authority of his Police Department.

{me) a paid in full, 10-month resident hotel guest of Richmond Inn & Suites, Baton Rouge, LA, Energy St., 70808 Corporate Blvd. Business Community,

committing felony ‘False Report to Law Enforcement in Commission of a Crime,’ utilizing BRPD backup to do it, instead of arresting him for it -- Mike’s cop stood by and nodded as Mike, more incentivized in his seemingly deranged authority grab, uttered: Vacate. three hours from now, he haughtily declared -- out of my 'home!' -- or we'll fuckin do it for you," he haughtily proclaimed -- out of my 'home,' -- or we'll do it for you.

With last-minute scrambling for transportation from my mother, whose health he recklessly compromised (this sub-managerial, self-professed Marshall representing SMC Hotel Group -- and ultimately Wyndham Hotel's ownership) obtained for GM Trudi Veals, my eviction: a happy ending to her story acquired. smchotels.com
