I see people say things like "will *they* let us have x, y, z" as it relates to the fascists and their enablers and I am here to say THEY WON'T *LET* YOU HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL. You have to band with others to TAKE what you want. That's really it.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Notice how fast the billionaire stepped up to fund the military, but no one is stepping up to fund SNAP? No one will step up to fight for a living wage, healthcare, disability supports or education. They want to keep us down because it benefits them. The billionaires will always stick together.

Gentle reminder that should a general strike happen, it’s crucial to plan and establish robust networks of community care. There will be people, especially within the disability community, who can’t participate. Who have needs that must be met. Let’s make sure we figure out how to include them!

We ready for a general strike yet?

Soft. Americans are soft. Do you think when a unionized group goes on strike, there's no hardship? People strike because it's for the COLLECTIVE good. The end justifies the means. It just takes one person to lead the charge.

@generalstrikeus.bsky.social @gsus-illinois.bsky.social Hope everyone is staying safe. We’ll be letting people know…

No comment, beyond the fact that in 2022 an avg. of 7 children a DAY died from gun violence in the USA. No comment, except that gun violence disproportionately impacts children of color. No comment, but gun deaths are the leading cause of death in children, ahead of car crashes and cancer.

In my state with just a first and last name you can view someone’s home address and entire voting history. THIS IS A GOVERNMENT WEBSITE. So was the candidate bad or do women with a stalker or abusive partner not feel safe registering go vote?

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

The biggest scandal in US public life *ought* to be that we are the richest country in history & yet our infrastructure sucks, our transportation choices suck, our cities suck, our healthcare sucks, our public administration sucks, & in dozens of little ways, our daily lives suck.

If you want capitalism, fascism, state sanctioned violence, etc. to wither away, you have to build collective power, rooted in community, that decreases your reliance on exploitative systems and challenges their supremacy. Learn some ways to do this from the folks at Interrupting Criminalization.

Build mutual aid, dig the well. #GeneralStrike

“Reconstruction was fundamentally about who got to be an American citizen. It was in that period that the Constitution was amended to establish birthright citizenship through the 14th Amendment, which also guaranteed equality before the law regardless of race.” —Henry Louis Gates Jr., TIME, 2019

I spoke about @generalstrikeus.bsky.social at the Workers Over Billionaires Labor Day Rally. I was nervous, but I did it! We must come together during this time. We have the power to shut everything down and make them listen to us. ✊

✨capitalism✨ Good job taking care of yourself!!

Happy Labor Day. Don’t forget the history of the labor movement in the U.S. People coming together against those who wish to exploit us is a part of our shared history. We can do it again.

This Labor Day weekend as we enjoy barbecues and picnics, let's remember the farm workers who labor so hard to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay

Noncooperation is a powerful tool. It’s time we used it. Extend your Labor Day weekend with a one-day sick out on Sept. 2nd. We will build this into a movement, we will get justice. Art by Chi Nwosu

Instead of phoning it in, just call out! Reject extractive labor on Labor Day weekend by extending it. Join the nationwide Sick-Out to resist late-stage capitalism and center community, care, and collective refusal. Info at linktr.ee/generalstrikeus.

Criminalization is the fuel of fascism.

Welcome to the many, many people who have found this campaign in the last week. My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. 2,900 volunteers. $1 million raised. In just over a week. Join us.

I got about 3 hrs of sleep. The insomnia lately is brutal. RFK jr destroying our public health had me up all night. Since I was up, I wanted to respond to questions about why we don't have a general strike organized yet. What do y'all think? What do we need to do/prep/build before we can strike?

I want a politics that widens the circle to include everyone, not one that shrinks the circle by throwing *undesirables* under the bus. I think this is basic. I am interested in a politics that is rooted at the sources of people's suffering. I am interested in a politics that attends to basic needs.

They are all our children. You don’t just fight for your kid, you fight for all of them. They don’t get to make the laws, they don’t get a voice. Comrades with kids fight hard. Comrades without kids do too. Because we know what solidarity is. So, they are all our children. We better act like it.

“But the strategy fails… when societies recognize the game early enough and refuse to play along. When institutions that would normally compete or stay in their lane realize that they rise and fall together. That’s what collective action is. And that’s why it’s so dangerous to autocrats.”

For those asking how the U.S. “got here”… much of the world has always known us this way. From Guatemala to Chile, Haiti to Honduras, our government helped topple democracies and destabilize nations for decades. We can’t undo the past, but we can steer our future out of this pattern of carnage! 🙏🏼

If you aren’t uncomfortable learning our country’s history, you are learning propaganda.

Mexico Pacific wants to extend their destructive LNG project in the Gulf of California, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Their request should be denied in order to protect this biodiverse space.

Joined the union at a new job today. Get excited about your unions!! Whether workplace or tenants unions, they hold great power to collectively organize. I’m a big fan of “yes, and” organizing. YES! I am organizing for a general strike. AND! I am participating in local efforts. AND! In my union!

An article from 2021, highlighting the role of state law enforcement in ICE actions, as well as the lack of due process for immigrants targeted by ICE, by @immigrantjustice.bsky.social To heal, we have to recognize that this HAS been happening. That ICE should’ve been abolished long ago.

I don’t ‘love’ any politician. They EARN respect by having strong morals and standing by what’s right. You know who I love? The owner of a local food truck who remembers my name. My coworkers who got me flowers when I left and were proud that I found a better position. The kids I taught. (1/3)

Yo! Are people beginning to see the need to opt out, unsubscribe and shut down the tyranny? The oligarchs will bend if we refuse to support them with OUR money. It’s past time. Indivisible is calling it “strategic non participation.” Ok. @generalstrikeus.bsky.social says STRIKE! We say shut it down
