Hooking every squat in the building to an insulated cable that hotwired it off the utility pole down the block.

I at all don't understand that sentence. Can you please explain?


Just finished hooking every squat in the building to an insulated cable that hotwired it off the utility pole down the block.

Now the other squatters want to make me the mayor of the place.

"hooking" means connecting (an electrical cable). A "squat" is property (in this case probably an apartment) that is occupied without the owner's consent. Does it make sense now?
