There are a lot of good lists out there. This is from someone who I trust to know who is who on the ground and how to best get resources where they need to go.

Renee Good’s wife Becca: “We had whistles. They had guns… the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.” Full statement: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani, y’all.

"That's the thing about uncertainty—anything can happen, but anything CAN happen." —Jumaane Williams, in his inaugural speech just now.

Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

Today, Andrew Anastasi and @benchansfield.bsky.social discuss the wave of landlord-perpetrated arson during the 1970s, how residents organized to stop it, and what this tells us about the ongoing interplay between property and racial capitalism.

Props to @haelinchoi.bsky.social and the team from @handsoffnyc.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social and the 1000+ people (incl. Rosa & me) who turned out yesterday for training/organizing events in Brooklyn & the Bronx to protect our neighbors and get Trump’s ICE out of NYC.

i’m at the brooklyn training. amazing energy.

1/ Housing problems like inadequate heating, water damage, and pest infestations don't only affect your health. These issues also make the housing crisis worse. We're putting housing quality under the lens in our new series, Fit to Live in: Fixing Our Housing Stock. bit.ly/UTLhabitabil... 🧵

i hate that i have to post this (and will likely delete after today), but please don't @ me with your spotify stats. i appreciate the support & know it comes from a good place, but i really would like you to find another streaming service.

So grateful to everyone in NYC who mobilized to stop the ICE raid of Canal St. The violence being committed against immigrants is heart-wrenching, but the shows of solidarity we have seen around the country give me so much hope.

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union. They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration. More updates TK.

Pope Leo XIV understands technology and its relationship to art better any executive or AI-pilled techbro running the conference circuit.

listen to this king. a team with low morale is ineffective. relatedly, a team with high morale is effective. also relatedly: we are going to win

In March, 2022, the people living in Lakeside Park Estates mobile-home park, in Hollywood, Florida, learned that they were being evicted. A new short film follows three women as they navigate the subsequent months of uncertainty and upheaval. Watch here. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/eD_3OU

I'm so proud of my people today. ICE tried to pull a quick early morning in-&-out raid in a quiet industrial part of Saint Paul. Instead they were met by hundreds of protesters, including the mayor and the local council member, whistles shrieking, braving the tear gas, forcing ICE to leave early.

Well, that was something. Showed up for deportation defense training in Borough Park, trainers arrived, said there was “evolving situation” in Bensonhurst, were we up for heading there, we said Hell yeah, went and met folks on the ground, ICE ended up driving out of the hood with no one detained 🔥✊

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

“On Saturday, community groups passed out another 10,000 whistles as part of a day of action put on by Hands Off NYC, a coalition that includes dozens of unions, community groups, churches and political groups, hosting a day of action and events across the city.” @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

Huge congrats @brian-goldstone.bsky.social on getting the platform to share the insights of workers pushed into homelessness. I'm already planning to show a recording to my students!

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

More than 5,000 rent-stabilized units connected to the Pinnacle Group are going up for auction in 2026. Residents are warning would-be buyers not to overlook the years of disrepair that made those units unlivable. Read their story: bit.ly/47EBZYw #HousingJustice #RentStrike

“There’s also so many tragic stories of people’s breadwinning family members who have been abducted. They don’t deserve to be evicted right now; it is unsafe for them. They deserve to stay in their homes.” chicagoreader.com/news/ice-eviction-moratorium-pritzker-johnson/

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

The regime despises poor people, yes. And importantly it does not fear poor people as a political force. It's important to take both of these together to understand what they are doing with SNAP. They do not believe that they will incur lasting political costs for their current actions.

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to permit the government to starve Americans.

“I don’t know what else we have to do. I’ve complained. I called the cops. I called them to do the repairs, many of which I’ve done on my own, with my own money.” Via: @nextcity.org & @shelterforce.bsky.social nextcity.org/urbanist-new... #housing+ #urbanism #urbanism+

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

NYMag blew up its story about ICE's increased presence at 26 Federal Plaza, and pasted it on a wall a few blocks away on Broadway

By the way, in the footage after Sandwich Guy said he was trying to draw the officers away from where they were, he declared, “I succeeded.”

This thread about the sandwich guy trial is amazing.

SANDWICH GUY AVOIDS TOASTER

Fascinating to watch MSM frame Mamdani’s win as some random event by repeatedly saying that NYC is not like most of America. Like…of course not, it’s one of our biggest, most populous cultural and economic centers. That’s why we are all watching.

Zohran opens his victory speech: "As Eugene Debs once said, I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity." Unapologetic. Unafraid.

Huge win.

I don't think people outside of NYC fully see how incredibly RACIST Cuomo's campaign has been. It rivals any of the most racist campaigns of the 20th century. Just racism all the way down.

Not just Kavanaugh stops. Kavanaugh ransacking of apartments. open.substack.com/pub/migranti...

The other thing about this is how little space it leaves for genuine belief. Do you think undocumented people deserve dignity, tracking can harm students, affirmative action redresses inequity, the death penalty is wrong, EVs help mitigate climate change? Fuck you. Drop your beliefs.

I found this a really illuminating thread on what demonstrations do and why they matter.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

The US government is disappearing people, lying to judges and the press.

✊New Yorkers take to the streets around 26 Federal Plaza to protest ICE’s violent raids, arrests & detentions of immigrant communities. We will not back down while our neighbors are being cruelly targeted by this administration.

Trump's Nazi ICE Gestapo came to New York City and had no fucking idea what they were doing. These Nazis are the same low-life losers who attacked the US Capitol on Jan 6. 😳👇

The day after the Chinatown raid, New York AG Tish James launches an online portal for the public to submit photos and videos of ICE activity. "We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law," she writes. Portal ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

Today ICE arrested New Yorkers in a shameful raid on Canal Street. I joined my colleagues outside of Federal Plaza to call for Mayor Adams to STAND UP for New York immigrants and REMOVE ICE from NYC. We are a sanctuary city and we will protect our neighbors. #ICEOutofNY

More video of the tank on Lafayette a short while ago outside 26 Federal Plaza, and federal agents making arrests of counter protesters.
