Biden-Harris pushed, by economic & political pressure—in office lobbying by non-profits & esp tenant militancy, rent strikes & eviction defense, during the pandemic—to implement (weak) federal tenant protections marks a new moment for the movement. The autonomous tenant union tendency is going to be all the more crucial as this signals responsiveness to militants that will come with it a development of efforts to coopt.

Just learned of a tragedy—from the Los Angeles Tenants Union: "We are heartbroken and outraged by the news of a tenant in Hollywood who tragically took their own life in the face of losing their home when 2 sheriff officers, a building manager, and a locksmith showed up at their door to forcibly evict them." #tenants #tenantsunion #tenantsmovement #eviction https://latenantsunion.org/en/2022/11/10/we-will-protect-each-other-we-will-defend-our-homes-together/

Hey all! Guess I didn't do my #introduction post when I logged on here with the rest of the #twittermigration, so here it goes—

I'm a poet, writer, and tenants' movement militant (about which I often write), based in Oakland, CA, where I organize with the autonomous tenants union Tenant and Neighborhood Councils (TANC) as well as the North American-wide Autonomous Tenant Union Network (ATUN) #tenants #tenantsmovement #tenantunions. Politically, I'm an anarchist-communist, heavily influenced by the intellectual traditions of Marxism and Black radicalism #anarchism #communism #marxism #blackradicaltradition.

Aside from that stuff, I occasionally post about everyday life and popular culture.
