The Southern Poverty Law Center has faced intense criticism from #conservatives, who have accused it of unfairly maligning right-wing organizations as #extremist groups because of their viewpoints [you know the viewpoints of — #WhiteSupremacy #MaleSupremacy #heterosexism #WhiteChristianNationalism etc]. The #SPLC regularly condemns #Trump’s rhetoric & policies around #VotingRights, #immigration & other issues.

Friend in Bray was looking to move back into the home she was renting in 2022 for €2,100/month.

The landlord quotes her €3,000/month.

I’m shocked: how can he do that when there’s a 2% yearly cap on price increases? So the most he should be able to charge is €2,273.10.

Can you guess the answer?

Did you say because Irish people elected a majority conservative/neoliberal government?

(Apparently the government just removed the 2% cap for new tenancies.¹ Landlords can now charge “market rates”. In other words, whatever the fuck they like.)²

Happy shoot yourself in the foot day to anyone who voted for Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael. Many happy returns.
