We often discuss mutual aid as a critical and actionable step toward exercising resistance. When strike comes, we need to have gathered the resources to support those striking.
Meanwhile, aim to unionize at every opportunity (see thread).

Washington has lost touch with the people it’s supposed to serve. I’m not a career politician. I’m a veteran, an attorney, and the proud son of working-class parents who taught me the values of service, sacrifice, and personal responsibility.

I'm actually tempted to let churches continue to keep their tax exempt status. As long as they have to file the same publicly available paperwork as every other charity.

After Breonna Taylor was killed
Biden’s DOJ determined the Louisville PD was infested with systemic racism
Then convicted the cops responsible
Now the Trump DOJ wants the judge to give them a sentence of just one day
Don’t EVER tell me there’s no difference between Democrats and Republicans

Breonna Taylor should still be here today. Her life mattered.
Trump’s DOJ has asked that an officer charged in her murder spend just one day in jail. One day. This is atrocious—it is what injustice and systemic racism looks like.

I also don't remember mothers screaming, with tears in their eyes ", my son's at school! He doesn't know I'm being taken away."
Comparing the number of deportations under Biden and Obama to Trump’s as a benchmark is so disingenuous. Yes, Biden and Obama deported more people, but—
I don’t remember masked men with no identification snatching people off the streets when they were president.
Terror is the mission under Trump.
