This is a story about Monarch, the fastest growing landlord in the Midwest.
@sarahsholder and I tracked how Monarch uses evictions to squeeze tenants and spike rents — "popping the clutch," as Monarch's CEO puts it — even when evictions were banned.https://bloom.bg/3MdwuDnShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Ashkenazy Acquisition also owns Hechinger Mall — one of the largest retail centers in the city, about the size of the Union Market wholesale district — but development plans have been reportedly thwarted by a long-term lease held by Ross Dress for Lesshttps://bit.ly/3xwW69p

Amtrak is looking to use eminent domain to seize Union Station, which is owned by the U.S. but operated by Ashkenazy Acquisition, which has leasing rights until 2084 but doesn't seem to want to do much with themhttps://wapo.st/36iHeAd

I kind of like the audacity of bringing back Captain Picard and then not doing anything that anyone wants from the character.

Engineering highway blockades at U.S. ports of entry through excessive inspections is a twist on trucker protests. It's also an escalation, as political elites take up populist tactics designed to hold the economy hostage.https://bloom.bg/3vkT5pP

There's another difference between left and right highway blockades. Black Lives Matter protesters were more intimately connected to streets and freeways as sites of violence: https://bloom.bg/3vkT5pP pic.twitter.com/bY22W4rFUD

There's one major difference between left and right highway blockades: Black Lives Matter protesters were pitting their bodies against cars, not in them, an act of vulnerability borne of urgency.https://bloom.bg/3vkT5pP

BLM highway occupations enraged conservatives. Dozens of GOP-led states introduced laws granting immunity to drivers who strike protesters. Most bills only fizzled after a driver did exactly that in 2017 — killing Heather Heyer in Charlottesville.https://bloom.bg/3uIpcki

Of course highway protests extend beyond the U.S. Recently they've overtaken all of North America. Peruvian truckers just blockaded the Pan-American Highway and other roadways around Lima to protest food and fuel prices: https://bloom.bg/3vkT5pP pic.twitter.com/wpCOGVrd4E

The '70s saw some wild traffic spectacles, like the slow-moving tractorcade that showed up in D.C. to protest ag policies, turning the National Mall into "Tractortown" for several weeks: https://bloom.bg/3vkT5pP pic.twitter.com/m700jInZVY
