🔥 Mayor Brandon Johnson once again calls for a General Strike. He says the power of the Labor Movement & The Civil Rights Movement combining was what Dr King imagined.
Since the billionaires & elites have united, if we're going to beat back this tyranny, workers must be even more united than them.

$45 billion for ethnic cleansing
It’s one thing to say they want to deport 20 million people, it’s even one thing to go nuts brazenly doing whatever you can as the executive branch to make it happen, but the fact that they’re going to give ICE an additional 45B shows how committed they are to seeing this through.
