MAUI RESIDENTS NOW FACE EVICTION AS BIDEN CHECKS FAIL TO COVER CATASTROPHIC LOSSES – After receiving their $700 checks from President Biden, the residents of Maui still face mounting debt and expenses that cannot be met. As a consequence, renters on the island now face eviction as landlords seek to remove residents from their homes (the ones still standing).
During an emergency meeting with the Maui County Council, one resident told the council, “We’ve been receiving call after call of people who are being asked to be evicted by their landlords, people who are being displaced during a time of emergency when their house was like the only house standing in their neighborhood, simply because the owner of the house realized that their investment is no longer a sound investment.” GO DEEPER

CALIFORNIANS TAKE NEWSOME TO THE BALLOT OVER TRANS-FASCIST POLICIES – California parents have filed a ballot initiative that would destroy Governor Gavin Newsome’s desire to give children the “right” to decide what to do with their own bodies even against their parents’ wills.
