dispatch from the south Bronx, where I heard from a few of the people who took part in the takeovers of Lincoln Hospital by the Young Lords and their allies. they're still fighting for their people, who have some of the highest drug overdose rates in the city

ICE’s actions harm every one of us. Its presence spreads fear, keeps working people from showing up to their jobs or running daily errands, and drives down wages for all Americans.
And that is why we cannot ignore it and refuse to look away. #ICEout

“The labor movement has had language for this for a long time: an injury to one is an injury to all. The Industrial Workers of the World slogan was never just a moral appeal. It was also a diagnosis of how employers and the state undermine working-class power.”

Tenants across buildings owned by Pinnacle Group are testing whether collective power can force new arrangements with landlords and the city government under a new pro-tenant mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

I sat in on a Union of Pinnacle Tenants town hall this weekend where @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @ceaweaver.bsky.social, and some 300 tenants talked organizing after a judge rejected their efforts to pause the sale of 93 Pinnacle Group apartment buildings to Summit Properties, another mega-landlord

"ICE is not simply a border agency that occasionally intrudes into the economy. It is a labor-market institution: an apparatus that disciplines workers, structures whole industries, and makes organizing riskier."

"You are permitted, in narrow ways, to fight your boss. You are not supposed to fight the state.
When workers violate that demarcation—when they treat deportability, detention, or raids as union business—it is a recognition that the world beyond their workplace structures the jobsite itself."
Another great piece from @alexnpress.bsky.social

“The right to complain — to be visible, to put your name to something — is one of the basic building blocks of worker power.” @alexnpress.bsky.social

“The labor movement has had language for this for a long time: an injury to one is an injury to all.”
This Area Labor Federation President says Abolish ICE!
“When the state creates a category of workers whose continued presence is conditional, it hands every employer an extra lever of power over their workforce. Even bosses who never touch that lever benefit from its existence.”
"Economists have measured what happens when immigration enforcement expands. It reduces employment for likely undocumented workers — no surprise there — but it also lowers employment and wages for US-born workers." jacobin.com/2026/01/minn...
I went out to the LaGuardia taxi lot last night to talk to cab drivers, delivery workers, the new mayor, and his nominee for the Taxi and Limousine Commission about how they plan to make life easier for the city’s taxi drivers.

"What’s the worst smell in a slaughterhouse? How do you and your coworkers pass the time at Taco Bell? What do you learn about the world working at Sephora? What are the weirdest things customers do? What does the assembly line in your factory sound like??"
love this
i’m so, so, so, so, so very. very. tired. of every aspect of our existence being used solely for “maximizing shareholder value” or being stripped for parts by an incredibly concentrated group of people
Dismal numbers in LA. I’d say the majority of people I know who worked in the industry full-time have left in the past couple of years.
