After 40 years of struggle, Brazil’s Landless Workers’ Movement is now at nearly two million members and taking center stage in the fight for democracy and equality. It’s done that by flying the most unlikely militant banner of all: organic food.

The Trump admin has been clear that its mass deportation agenda relies not just on detentions but on making life so impossible for immigrants that they choose to self-deport. @LACountyBOS's inaction has worked hand in glove with ICE to bring that strategy to life.

A speaker from the Rent Brigade shared the story of Magda, a street vendor who felt she had no choice but to self-deport after receiving six eviction notices, leaving behind a daughter who cannot receive adequate medical care in Guatemala. She may never see her in person again.

Tenants from LATU - Somos Los Callejones, @carwasherxs, @CPColectivo, and Rent Brigade spoke about closed businesses, decreased foot traffic, and the ever-present fear of not only ICE but of eviction.

600 ICE agents were supposed to be deployed to Canal Street. Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered instead. Quick summary by me:
ICE still FROZEN at Centre St & Howard in lower Manhattan right now as calls continue circulating for people to join. NYPD arriving with barricades.

Our new editorial dives into the history of the El Gran Paro Estadounidense of 2006, the Day Without an Immigrant strikes. As calls for a general strike mount, and as the deportation regime escalates, what can this history teach us about what might be done? 🧵🧵

After DHS agents descended upon a Home Depot in Los Angeles in June, @LATenantsUnion spent the summer experimenting. @tracyrosenthal_ reports on how organizers built a long-term protective presence for Issue No. 8. https://t.co/09UCKTZwn6

Today LA City Council voted to strengthen the LA rent stabilization law, so that increases will be 1-4% depending on inflation instead of the current rule, 3-8%. This will affect hundreds of thousands of households. Congrats & thank you to everyone who fought so hard to win this!
NEW: After years of debate, L.A. is moving to lower the rent hikes allowed in most apartments. The city council just voted to cap increases at 4% moving forward, down from the current maximum of 10%. Get the full details in my @LAist story:

We have a stunning story from @thomasbirm in @thenation. It's about how one of Israel's biggest companies, with deep ties to the IDF and illegal settlements, is taking over huge swathes of American real estate—with tenants paying the price. A MUST-read!
