While striking remains a risky proposition for most federal employees, there are still meaningful ways to engage in collective action and solidarity. This is evidenced by the @fedworkersunited.bsky.social, an alliance of unionists from across the government.

The Answer to Trump’s Anti-Worker Shutdown Is Solidarity and Labor Militancy

The GOP’s assault on federal employees amid the government shutdown is far more extreme than Reagan’s PATCO union busting. The labor movement needs a more effective response this time.

I know not everyone is who they thought they would be under a fascist, authoritarian regime. That's okay. But it's time to do more than react and post about it. It's time to get organized—including mapping or creating lines of support and defense in your community.

#NoKings is NEXT WEEKEND! If you don't have your plans yet, your should get doing that soon. Find a local protest near you, and make sure you're properly prepared for it. Because ICE and who knows what other agencies are using spyware, make sure to secure your phone so they can't access data on it.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The court wins we're seeing in Chicago this week are great news, but also make me worry about what Trump might do in response (disregarding the courts, escalating differently). I'm glad these suits are happening, but sometimes, even things that have to happen can be a prelude to shit you don't want.
