We're at the point now where real estate agents (you know, apolitical people who are adjacent to the ownership class) are detailing their illegal detention at the hands of ICE.
This is about as centrist as America comes, even the lilly white TikTok real estate agents are not safe.
They also know that ICE is an existential threat to their capitalist endevours.

The largest US real estate listing site has removed on-page climate risk data after industry complaints it was affecting sales.
But burying climate risk information will not change the danger that increasingly frequent and intense disasters pose for millions of people.
No kidding!

But burying climate risk information will not change the danger that increasingly frequent and intense disasters pose for millions of people.
