A humble attempt to weave stories from our organizing experiences with @ccedLA and @hillside_villa into a sort of theorizing about how to actually build abolitionist power—starting from the particular concerns of working class Asian tenants in LA Chinatown
Tenant organizers @promiseli0 and @egglessmooncake write about the power of abolitionist politics in the fight against displacement in LA's Chinatown

70% of faculty at the University of Southern California voted to form a union for better wages and benefits.
Instead of recognizing the union, USC is working overtime to deny their right to a union. That is beyond unacceptable. USC must drop its appeal & bargain in good faith.

We are excited to host our tenant leaders from Hillside Villa’s tenant union in a panel with @LATenantsUnion who will be sharing about how they won their 5 year long rent strike—one of the longest tenant struggles in LA history ✊
Join us this Saturday 2pm at @MidnightBooksLA!

When we fight, we win.
We didn't get eminent domain, but we got a deal that lets us stay in our homes.
The Hillside Villa case represents one of the longest-running rent strikes in recent Los Angeles history, occurring amid a broader housing crisis that resulted in more than 75,000 people experiencing homelessness in LA County last year.

After 7+ years organizing w/ @ccedLA @westsidelatu @UniondVecinos w/ @LATUVyBe , @hillside_villa achieved what many said was impossible: cancellation of nearly 5 years of back rent from a rent strike! HSV will only pay back 9 months spread out over 10 years and rents will remain as they were in 2018.
In the deal for the tenants made btwn Eunisses and Botz, the tenants would have paid ALL back rent over 10 years resulting in an $800 monthly rent increase. In the new deal, they’ll pay about $60 increase.
Tenants, don’t put your trust in any politician or land/lord (they often work together), organize and don’t give up the struggle - act as if your life depended on it bc it does. Eviction = ☠️ .

it is so embarrassing to openly admit you want a Dem in the WH so you can go back to pretending ICE raids aren't happening

translations and linguistic justice is literally a matter of life and death. never forget that
The National Weather Service will no longer provide translations. This change could put the lives of non-English speakers at risk when they miss warnings about disasters and extreme weather.

1) how is this wide-ranging tariff program “strategic” at all?
2) does this outweigh Stellantis firing 900 workers in five plants in the same region because of the tariffs this week?
3) how is GM hiring underpaid temp workers for this increased production a win for labor?

Hong Kong Marxist collective Pioneer’s first post-Handover issue in 1997. It was one of the few political groups agitating against the government’s collaboration with the IMF, be it under British or Chinese sovereignty.

NYPD officers just arrested elderly Asian home care workers, who are protesting their agency forcing them to work 24/7 while stealing their wages.
Instead of paying back their wages, the agency (CPC) is hosting a Gala outside of Wall Street

Jun Li is one of few Hong Kong directors who centers the struggles of trans and homeless people. He called out Germany’s complicity in the genocide of Palestinians and now the Berlin police is after him.
Proud of fellow Hongkongers supporting Palestine—solidarity with Jun Li!
#Berlinale2025 a message in support of Palestine was read by Jun Li.
He was harrassed by Zionist supremacists in the audience.
The original post censored the quote
"From the River to the Sea".
I have added back because speaking up for Freedom + Equality should not be illegal.
