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

This was always coming.

This was always the plan.

This is what Trump, through intermediaries, was discussing with the January 6 insurrectionists.

It was only a question of timing.

So you know how awful all this stuff is that ICE is doing? It's genuinely awful. But the U.S. government has been doing this MY WHOLE LIFE!!! It's just that it happened to a white woman now. Keep that in mind.

The Department of Labor has just posted its second Nazi slogan (in the original, "Germany for Germans") in the last two days.

No one believes this is a coincidence.

They are telling America exactly who they are and what they intend.

You know what would be a great way to get even more people available to protect their communities from ICE?

A general strike

We have known for nearly a year now that Trump was going to try to seize Greenland - ever since he appointed Peter Thiel's buddy & fellow PayPal Mafia don Ken Howery as ambassador to Denmark. The Silicon Valley techbros have dreamed of Greenland for years and Trump owes them for his election. 1/
Trump: "We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not because if we don't it, Russia or China will take over Greenland. If we don't do it the easy way we're gonna do it the hard way."

If America commits the war crime of invading Greenland, I'll be rooting for the Danes and Greenlanders—as the country I belong to and believe in still exists somewhere, and I still belong to and believe in *it*, not Trumpist stormtroopers obeying illegal orders to kill our allies

Here are some of the sights and sounds as people took to the streets in cities all across the country.

Have we reached a tipping point?

We need to throw RFK Jr. and everyone going along with him into jail for the rest of their lives, and we need to make it a day one policy. They are killing children with this. There is NO scientific basis for ANY of what they’re doing.
Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

I believe this year is our last chance to stop a U.S. dictatorship. We don’t have until 2028. By that time, the U.S. may resemble Putin’s Russia. And don't call Trump a “lame duck.” He ignores the Constitution.
Trump aims to rig this year's midterms, but it's our best chance. Let’s fight like hell.

The amount of money we're spending to terrorize neighborhoods and snatch tamale vendors should radicalize anyone.

It means little for Americans to apologize for what our government has done. The harm it's lately caused the world is incalculable—from the millions who'll die from USAID's shuttering to abandoning our allies and promoting bloody adventurism abroad.

Please at least know that some of us are ashamed.

Whatever's going on between Trump and Putin will soon be made clear. Trump now has world's largest oil reserves and a powerful lever. If he cuts Venezuelan production, prices rise and Russia fights on. If he lowers prices, Russia implodes and Ukraine wins. Which path will he take? (h/t R_YP) 5/

Impeach them all.

Zero tolerance for anyone in government premeditatedly covering up for child sex traffickers, pedophiles, and child rapists.

If we cannot agree on this, candidly there is nothing left to talk about.

WE ARE NOT AT WAR

DRUG SMUGGLING IS NOT "NARCOTERRORISM"

can you all PLEASE stop rebutting excuses that depend on accepting GOP lies

the victims were not "in the fight," they were illegally attacked

the legal action would have been interdiction
Hegseth's "fog of war" claim is nonsense, if this account of what video shows is correct: The two men obviously were visible.

Tom Cotton's claims also in doubt: Rep Smith says drugs not visible. The decision that the men were still in the fight looks very shaky:

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
