Cross boarder worker solidarity is a very powerful move right now.
What does it look like to support labour in this moment rather than pitting workers against each other?

I dreamt of a metallic blue stag beetle last night. I had lost them, and then I found them again when they fell from some cloth. They were miffed at me for losing them.
So now I’m painting a blue stag beetle.
