Hawai’i residents know the significance of this

So, I presume we can opt out of curriculum that teaches our children that genocidal, slave-owning, rapists were “heroes”?

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just gave South Carolina lawmakers the green light to block Medicaid patients from using Planned Parenthood. More than one million people are now at risk of losing access to trusted care at Planned Parenthood. This is an attack on basic health care.

First they came for abortion. 
Now it’s birth control, cancer screenings, prenatal care. The Supreme Court just ruled states can block Medicaid patients from getting care at Planned Parenthood. (1/2)

Aloha Kākou, we are looking to strengthen our lāhui moving forward, please reach out here or on instagram, discord about getting more involved! We started our Awa Akamai Teach-N-Talks and can’t wait to see how we can continue to grow and evolve moving forward. Mahalos, GS Hawaii organizers ❤️‍🔥

We are grateful and inspired by everyone who came out and supported the resistance against tyranny today!

Thank you for finally posting this. I heard about this recently but needed to see an actual report. It makes sense. Not the first time I heard about the lawsuit but it’s finally confirmed. I think they’re going after New York. Please share this! m.economictimes.com/news/interna...

Proud of you, Maui. California, we stand with you. No Human Is Illegal On Stolen Land. If you want individual photos, they’re on Facebook. BlueSky limits photos. @indivisible.org @50501hi.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @gshawaii.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisiblehawaii.bsky.social

Each of us has so much more power than we think to support our local communities and get ready for a General Strike! Get in touch to learn more!

It’s happening! Here is our Hawaii schedule for June 14, 2024. NO KINGS. DAY OF DEFIANCE! See you all at the Queen K mall on Maui. But until then, let’s keep resisting and keep up the good trouble. @50501movement.bsky.social @50501hi.bsky.social @indivisiblehawaii.bsky.social @gshawaii.bsky.social

Don’t join GSUS thinking that’s the end of it. Our organizing requires you to be in your COMMUNITIES. Regional chapters provide support and solidarity, but they only work with YOU. A national movement succeeds at the local level. Listen to this video, then listen again. He knows what’s up.

Don’t forget to follow your local GSUS chapter for information specific to your state. Big welcome to our newest chapter on bluesky, @genstrikenh.bsky.social !

Calling all 📣 Oil workers 📣 Miners 📣 Longshoremen 📣 Commercial fishermen 📣 Service industry personnel We’re stronger together! It’s time to stand up and demand a course correction in our state and in our country. Together we can make a difference!

So far, folks have come to an initial consensus on these demands: ✔️ Repeal Citizens United. ✔️ Tax the billionaires. ✔️ Protect Social Security. ✔️ Due process for all. ✔️ Universal healthcare. This may change as more input comes in. Share yours now! ⬇️ pol.is/2hzna7ntca

There's so much to grieve and fear right now. Nevertheless, WE RESIST. Find out how we're helping to prepare, organize, and educate our communities to strike for change: Generalstrikeus.com linktr.ee/gsusresources

If you think about a General Strike and the first thing that comes to mind is, "That feels impossible", we get it. You're not alone. But there are tangible ways each one of us can start preparing, and it goes beyond a strike card. We are all organizers and leaders in this movement.

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

Tomorrow as you are participating in May Day events, remember to support the Southern Workers Assembly rideshare and delivery drivers as they go on strike. They call for all community members and allies to pledge to boycott transportation and delivery gig corporations in solidarity. Spread the word!

Hawaii schedule for the May 1st Protest. Be safe everyone. Please share pics or videos if you’re comfortable.

How long will you spend debating your executioner over the quality of the rope? Either way the noose fits snug around your neck. Do not beg for civility. Demand justice.

The oligarchs and their lackeys are burning books. And there are those who think this is not the time for action. History will remember, who among you warmed their hands on the fire, and who among you burned their hands reaching into the flames.

At least 12 civilians are reported killed and 90 injured following Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv. These were among the deadliest strikes on the Ukrainian capital since July 2024.

So excited to welcome the North Carolina chapter to BlueSky!! 💙✊️ Check to see if your state chapter has a social media page as well – if not, it may he up to you to step up and answer the call! @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month. It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

A Lancet preprint estimates that if US funding is cut and not replaced, from 2025-2040 there will be 15.2 mil add'l AIDS deaths, 2.2 mil add'l TB deaths, 7.9 mil add'l child deaths from other causes, and 40-55 mil add'l unplanned pregnancies. @altusaid.altgov.info papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Tesla pays $323 million a year in taxes to China for its auto plant there. But it pays $0 for its plants in California and Texas.

Tesla stock is now down 47.22% since the last day on the stock market under Biden before Donald Trump took office. Tesla is going to be announcing its earnings tomorrow. 🍿

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

3) Report the number of strike commitments you’ve collected to your chapter facilitator. You will be the contact person keeping your group up to date on the movement. If every person who has signed their strike card so far got 31 people to commit, we would hit our 11 million goal.

2) Print out this sheet to get sign ups from your friends, neighbors, family, and community. More details can be found in this document: tinyurl.com/InPersonStri...

1) Get in contact with your regional chapter. Some have set up emails, but if they only have a Discord you can join the main GSUS server and join your state channel. Many have separate servers just for local organizing, as well as Signal chats. tinyurl.com/FindYourChap...

We understand the uncertainty right now of online organizing, mostly the strike card. So we have some actionable steps you can take to mediate that and get us closer to a strike. #USpolitics #GeneralStrike

Trump can’t arbitrarily or unilaterally declare anyone a “criminal.” Only the courts can Not to nullify the racism and nationalism of US courts but if we accept that Trump decides, we accept that any one of us can be declared a “criminal” and disappeared. Don’t ignore this @nsharma101.bsky.social

Ableism teaches us to abandon each other. Racism will disable you. Transphobia will disable you. Long COVID will disable you. Genocide will disable you. Climate change will disable you. Do not obey when told to abandon the vulnerable. Resistance & communities must be rooted in disability justice.

CALL TO ACTION 📣📣 Stir up some good trouble by submitting tips to HHS! They're looking for whistleblowers to report helping trans kids or to report SS fraud. Use real emails and phone numbers but not your own! CW for grossly transphobic language on the official government web page 😫
