Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I know that some here will disagree, but when then Nobel committee gave Obama a peace prize, it cheapened the honor. Obama, like Machado, had done nothing to warrent such an accolade. All he did was win an election after W was president. Why on earth would that deserve a peace prize?

The US is engineering a depression and working overtime to quash internal dissent. Renee Good won't be the last as the Republican party is prepared to commit atrocities to silence criticism, even if that means turning the concentration camps already in place into death camps.

I believe this is Greenland's new battle flag

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

How does this all end? If nobody is going to hold Trump accountable for breaking the law and brazenly overthrowing the leader of Venezuela, how and when will he be held accountable? This has the makings of the beginning of WWIII.

Does anyone know if a protest is being organised in Auckland against the US invasion of Venezuela? #nzpol

I wish this was available in Nelson.

Every political party says they want more good paying jobs, but what causes a business to hire? Increased demand.

In 1991, the National party passed the Employment Contracts Act, dealing a death blow to the awards system, which guaranteed penalty rates for night and weekend work, overtime pay, better pay rises (relative to cost of living), etc. Australia kept theirs. While wages have kept increasing in both...

(1/3) UPDATE: Woolworths Customer Care centre workers have been LOCKED OUT by the company until Saturday night as retaliation for their 3-hour strike action this morning. We need your help!

I'm going to Vegas to place my bet on Katniss from West Virginia in Trump's new Patriot Games.

We have awarded Richmond Pak‘nSave with the Grinch of the Year Award! And are calling on the community to boycott them this December. Please support other local alternatives: - Woolworths Richmond (144 Salisbury Road, Richmond) - Connings Food Market (151 McShane Road, Appleby) Merry Grinchmas!

The Grinch of the Year award 2025, delivered! Un-gratulations to Pak'nSave Richmond, who have raised prices over and above inflation while offering an effective pay cut for their workers. We call on the public to boycott this store in December and support other Supermarkets in the area.

@stormof69.bsky.social any relation?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

If you've got Democratic senators, call on them to publicly call for Senator Schumer to resign as minority leader. He's not fit for the moment.

Kid: Guess what tomorrow is! Guy Fawkes. Me: What did he fawke?

Kid: Dad, do you like the laws of physics? Me (somewhat dejectedly and looking off into the distance): Well, I've lived them this far...

It's shameful that the government is ignoring the people. Sign this petition today! #nzpol

This is seriously screwed up. When people are arrested for posting memes, the constitution is in crisis.

Parenting is kind of strange. When they're a baby, you're so excited and can't wait to hear what their voice sounds like, but when they get older, you can't wait to hear what their voice doesn't sound like. Like, GTF to sleep!

Richmond Pak N Save owners are making bank on the back of poor pay and conditions. They ought to be ashamed.

Things in the USA are out of control.

I was out leafleting the neighborhood near this store and came upon a Jehova's Witness who told me they were neutral. I had to tell her that neutrality in the face of oppression is siding with the oppressor. She didn't like that very much.

ICE agents should understand that Indiana Jones would shoot their ass.

This is good 🤓

At the #Women'sDayofAction in Whakatu/Nelson earlier today there was this chump with a huge Israeli flag, so I took my giant Workers First Union flag and blocked him out of all the photos while telling him that genocide is not a Jewish value. He had to go higher up the church steps to get away. 😅

Netanyahu & his cabinet of war criminals are planning for "voluntary" migration of Palestinians from Gaza. Having starved them and bombed their homes, schools and hospitals, how can it be voluntary? This is ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime. NO MORE US MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

The perfect eulogy for Charlie Kirk.

Ever since the RGB died, the supreme court has been absolutely ruthless.

The Employment Relations Amendment Bill: A catastrophe for workers. #nzpol

While political violence is abhorrent, I'm neither terribly surprised by Kirk's killing, nor terribly upset. He was a horrid human being with awful views. He should not be praised and lionized for his work of sewing division and hatred. If his killer is never caught, I'll sleep just fine.

Is this how WWIII begins? With drones? Yeah, probably. Ffs.

Pak'nSave Richmond members have launched a petition seeking fair wage increases and fair treatment. Sign now and show your support for these workers: www.together.org.nz/support_rich... Richmond is just *one* example of the failings of the Foodstuffs (Pak'nSave + New World parent company) model.

#BREAKING: We are calling on the Prime Minister to show leadership by removing Brooke van Velden as Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety, following her recent comments that politicise the Employment Relations Authority and breach the Cabinet Manual. 1/6

The trifecta of exploitation, not only are they exploiting workers, they're ripping off customers and suppliers too. All while intimidating, threatening and bullying workers to scare them away from joining their union.

We all use and depend on the public health system. I support nurses striking to address issues with under staffing and unsafe levels of care

I hope someone with @nzlabour.nzcow.com, @nzgreens.nzcow.com, @tepaatimaori.bsky.social is keeping a list of this gpvernment's own goals. 1. Reversing Smokefree Aotearoa 2. Treaty Principles Bill 3. Regulatory Standards Bill 4. Banning retailers instead of banks from paywave charging fees 5. Etc.

I love LA Tow Truck Drivers; they are following ICE vehicles and if they see them park illegally as they often do, they do what they do best 😂👏💕

The most prosperous time in American history (economically) was the post war era, stretching from the mid 40s until the late 70s. In this 🧵, I'll explore why. The highest top marginal tax rate in this period was 92% in the '52 and '53 on income over $400k. This is about $4.8 M in today's money.

Ok, so the Cubs won the World Series in 2016, which must've opened this timeline and the only way out is for the Cubs to win the World Series again. #GoCubs

Happy fourth of July to everyone except the MAGA cultists who would scrap the constitution for a dictatorship.

By giving employers the right to deduct income for participation in partial strike action, the government has just made full withdrawal of labour much more likely.

1/4 Did you know that a strike does not always mean walking off the job? Partial strikes can be better for workers and the public, as well as for employers. A full ‘withdrawal of labour’ is usually the last resort.

I guess we’ll have to rely on the wealthy few to take to the streets for a fairer future, coz now the majority can’t afford to protest or strike…fascist fuckers. JOIN YOUR UNION NOW #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #Aotearoa #NZ #JoinYourUnionNZ #Unionise #PayEquity #WorkersRights #ToitūTeTiriti
