Life in LA rn: Wake up and clock in for your ICE Watch shift. Clock out and deliver groceries to your neighbors. Buy as much as you can from any street vendor you see. Recharge and strategize with your comrades. End the night loud as hell outside a hotel where ICE sleeps.

Thanks to its tenant unions, Los Angeles County could be on the verge of enacting an eviction moratorium to hit back against Donald Trump’s "mass deportation" raids.

The bigger danger in this moment isn’t cooptation or something but pro-revolutionaries not realizing that they’re at the head of a current movement that has moral and political support. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such widespread support for militancy in my lifetime.

@BrentCebul and I argue for @phenomenalworld that we’ve tried the #abundance incentive-based approach to housing crises before. But lack of oversight produced fraud, profiteering, and inflated rents -- and the Trump family fortune. https://t.co/ujtH9nISBi

No sleep for ICE! The community showed up loud outside the Hampton Inn in Downer’s Grove, a Chicago suburb. After several Department of Homeland Security vehicles were identified in the property’s parking lot, protesters demanded the federal agents be kicked out of the hotel as

“Today, the highest court in the country ruled that the White House and masked federal agents can racially profile Angelenos with no due process, snatch them off the street with no evidence or warrant, and take them away with no explanation. This decision will lead to more

This is truly a disastrous decision - one that, should this country continues to exist over the coming decade, will be condemned by history alongside many of this evil institution's shameful decisions. It fixes a target on everyone who looks like me for good.

You are a fundamentally evil, morally and intellectually bankrupt ghoul. Please never write anything again to save yourself being a footnote in a future history of this moment as a coward who opened the political ground for monstrousness.
We should also explore other ideas like taxing immigrants more (higher tax bracket called "Save Social Security"?) and there should both be more awareness and more restrictions on the federal benefits immigrants can access to alleviate concerns from US born citizens.

everything got twice as expensive over a period of two years and I went from living comfortably to living paycheck to paycheck while working more than ever. I didn’t even do anything!!! It sends me into genuine despair!!!

Oh look, YIMBYs standing with landlords AGAIN to undermine tenant protections. It's almost like they're just plainly on the same side
one last thing: “Abundance” is being used in CA against just-cause eviction protections for tenants returning to wildfire-ravaged communities. no, not rent control. just *telling someone why they’re being evicted.* if that’s not mindless deregulation, I don’t know what is 🤷🏽♀️

What to expect in Chicago most likely: 1) big flashy kickoff raids, likely prodding for national guard activation; 2) ICE handling targeted and indiscriminate roving snatches in small mobile teams; 3) large CBP forces doing raids on big targets like Home Depots.

How many people are going to become homeless because @CityAttorneyLA Hydee Feldstein Soto has a personal grudge against the Legal Aid Foundation?
The LA City Attorney is blocking a critical legal program for thousands of renters facing eviction. The program (LAFLA) has defended 4,700+ tenants and delivered $11 million in rent relief. Tenants need help, not bureaucratic delay. https://t.co/T4WI9Ld7hc

LA bus driver who vowed to shut doors on ICE speaks out after “retaliatory” firing. LA Metro said the bus operator wasn’t authorized to give an interview. The driver said he was exercising his right to free speech by giving an interview on his day off. https://t.co/xs085IvJb1

Skid Row resident Adrienne Villa was the person who died in LASD custody. She was arrested by LAPD on 6/12 @ 7am + by CHP on 6/13 @ 5am. She was facing charges for alleged assault/battery on a cop. Both arrests may have happened during Karen Bass' curfew. We need answers!
