Imagine poor and working class tenants. Now imagine them organizing, across buildings, neighborhoods, in encampments, citywide. Imagine them unionizing. Imagine those unions linking, sharpening each other, a different kind of power. You’re not just imagining, it’s happening 😌

I am Richard Chow, taxi driver. 2021, @ZohranKMamdani supported taxi driver' protest 45 days 24/7, including 15 days hunger strike. He moved his office from Astoria to City Hall side walk. He blocked traffic with us and arrested. We WON Debt Forgiveness. He is our hero.❤️

The debt, deportation, and death bill has passed. Congress further decimates care work to fund violence work. ICE becomes the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency ever known. It hasn’t been sold this way, but it’s a massive public jobs program for fascists.

One of the most brutal days in American history, on the brink of 17M losing Medicaid, 3.2M losing SNAP, massive wealth transfer to billionaires, 20x expansion of ICE. But @NAAhq (landlord lobby) takes a victory lap, calling this cruel bill a "95% win for the housing industry."

🚨🚨🚨17 million projected to lose health insurance, @yabutaleb7 reports

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RENT. IT’S ABOUT FOOD. IT’S ABOUT A LIFE WE CAN AFFORD. This is the winning agenda.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Outside Federal Plaza to demand the immediate release of @bradlander. Shame on ICE—and our disgraced Mayor for his collaboration and silence.

Over the past 15 years, U.S. rents have risen by 67%, outpacing inflation and wages – and experts see no end in sight. “Something’s got to give. The conditions that we exist within today cannot sustain.” — @taraghuveer New CQR explores the issue. tinyurl.com/4d2z9a4d

BREAKING: Mohsen Mahdawi has been released from federal custody. Judge reportedly compared the recent period of migrants and immigrants being detained to the era of McCarthyism and the infamous "Red Scare". @DropSiteNews

Amidst debates about the “abundance agenda” and affordable housing policy, the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator is releasing two new papers charting an agenda for a post-neoliberal housing policy. 1/5

Viscerally sickening. It’s not about “who they come for next” or whatever future paranoia motivates the masses, it’s about the fact that they did take Mahmoud— this case isn’t a harbinger of doom for the rest, but a world of tragedy and destruction in itself.

NEW: I’ve obtained new footage of the abduction of Tufts student Runeysa Ozturk which includes audio of her kidnappers.

Trump’s Economic Agenda Could Push the Housing Crisis Over the Edge “Trump does not have a housing plan, period." "Deportation is not a housing plan." "He is operating purely based on vibes, and the vibes, by the way, are bad." -- @taraghuveer truthout.org/articles/trump…

We have to make this guy mayor of New York

Many online appear to hold the mistaken view that the First Amendment only protects the free speech of American citizens. In fact, it does not say anything about citizenship. It places limits on the government’s ability to regulate speech, period. currentaffairs.org/news/the-most-…

Ann Coulter has a statement on Mahmoud Khalil’s unconstitutional detention before Schumer, Pelosi… Not tweeting to be an asshole, just really hope this changes soon and that we see a full throated and relentless defense of free speech and demand for his freedom
