Time for a General Strike!
Don’t fund the spending bill. We need 3.5% of the population to refuse their labor until demands are met. A strike will stall the economy.
Use your PTO if you have to. Nice weather now for a General Strike! Sign up now! This is one of our few options…

When even our brave soldiers aren’t being paid enough to feed their families, like what are we doing?

My hope is this shutdown sheds light on the dire need for this assistance (shame the corps with large swaths of their payroll being eligible for this assistance) and fix the income gap already!

U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. …

"It has really become a prison."

DOJ's Jana Brady steps up next but says she'll largely "rest on our brief that we filed."

She wants any TRO to not "interfere with the executive branch."

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads.

Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 4d

In a major victory, a court ruled the Trump administration must use emergency funds to provide food stamps to Americans.

No one should choose between paying bills and buying groceries.

We'll continue our lawsuit to fight for our families and the services they deserve.

"The Sanders/Mamdani style of democratic socialism is, whatever its merits, at least compatible with America’s tradition of liberal democracy. The Trump style of national socialism is not."

Donald Trump Is a Commie

Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Multiple senior Trump officials are moving onto military bases.

That’s not normal behavior. So ask yourself, is it really about their safety, or is the stage being set for something bigger?
