Give me an assessment of the situation.

Your first job is risk evaluation. Determine immediately your personal and physical safety requirements. If that is a concern, then pack up your needed items, computer, activism supplies, etc., and stay with a member in the area for a few days.

Then, see what the result will be in regards to work, landlords, etc. They will have likely already made up their minds, or will do so soon. Mostly regardless of your own statements. So I would not be too concerned with persuasion.

Once you can determine the damage, plan a solution. Need a new job, place to stay, anything like that, we can and will supply you with the needed counsel and support to make all of that so. You will arrive on the other end of this trial a stronger and more unassailable man.
