Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point. When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

He says inflation has “stopped.” He says his policies will cut drug prices by “400, 500, even 600 percent.” He says he has brought down the price of food and gas. He says that wages are up and manufacturing jobs are back. Trouble is, none of that is true.
