A politics that convinces us to see our neighbors as threats instead of allies is what actually harms working class white people.

Part of why we are here is that there WERE in fact millions of white people who took to the streets in 2020 after George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and others were killed by the cops. So no it's not the case that white people are just out in the streets now. Fascist white people were ENRAGED by this.

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents.
Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents.
We just did exactly that, in ICE-occupied Minneapolis:

Outside the Whipple building in Minneapolis—
Feds just emerged and unleashed pepper spray on demonstrators for approaching the driveway, sprayed one man directly in the face repeatedly. Pepper balls.
Air is toxic, there were children out here in strollers. Reporters caught unprepared.

It is bitterly cold. There are hardcore Midwesterners out here making their way in with trekking poles.

We are grieving and horrified at the murder of Renee Nicole Good, who was shot by ICE likely protesting the “largest immigration operation ever,” a deployment of 2,000 ICE agents to the Twin Cities.

Yesterday, after killing Renee Good, armed federal agents went to a high school and tackled people, handcuffed workers, and teargassed bystanders. Schools are now closed district-wide because ICE and border patrol have created such a dangerous environment

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

MAGA opposes free and fair elections because they don’t want working people to have the power to throw corrupt billionaire politicians out of office.
NEW: Republican attorney Eric Neff — who boasts a reputation of working with election-conspiracy theorists and who himself spread such theories — is replacing a veteran attorney with ties to Cleta Mitchell as the new acting chief of the voting section at the DOJ.

As tenant organizing levels up, so does its opposition. Great article, and for me it reinforces the idea that conditions may be right in many places to campaign for the statutory right of tenant unions to collectively bargain rents—thereby changing power-relations and the terrain of tenant struggle.
Tenant union members say they’ve faced threats, surveillance and retaliation from their private equity landlord, which has retained a notorious “union avoidance” firm.
