In every possible way the vile detention camp in the Everglades is destructive and anti-life. www.tampabay.com/news/environ...
Darkness is crucial to Everglades habitat. Could Alligator Alcatraz threaten it?
Artificial light in a world-renowned “dark sky” preserve is just one of the environmental and human health concerns surrounding the facility.

Although the Wagner Act was once the labor movement’s “magna carta,” today it is a toothless piece of legislation that has exposed the fallacy of the labor movement’s overreliance on the legislative process. From ‪@josephamccartin.bsky.social‬:
Requiem for the Wagner Act
Signed into law 90 years ago, labor’s onetime ‘magna carta’ is now a very dead letter.

Genocide was always the purpose. Genocide is still their preferred method of dealing with non-compliant people.

The fall of twitter with the inability to trust any info presented, suppression of the left, let alone how Elon is likely directing the discourse being had is a bleak look at our feudal corporate future. Only really is worth popping in to see shit like this/witness Elon breaking the brain of his AI

American Workers, you are hundreds of thousands, millions; you cannot leave for anyplace; there are not enough passports for you.
Should fascism come to power, it will ride over your skulls and spines like a terrific tank. Your salvation lies in merciless struggle!

Right now as we grapple with the current wave of reaction a look back on the 50’s and the red scare can show us one path forward. In a similar moment radicals and workers fought from below and made gains for justice

I love the UAW more than I do my own union. My life was forever changed when I joined a UAW picket line. The admiration I have for this union was expressed in a book. This called strike by UAW Staff United hurts me greatly. I stand in solidarity with the staff workers who keep our unions running!

Millionaire Delta CEO Ed Bastian CAN’T WAIT until there’s nothing to stop him from rolling back regulations that protect us and passengers.

A union contract is our ONLY protection against corporate greed and threats to our rights.

Now is the time to sign a union card and join our campaign.

Yeah we’re all getting fucked by the billionaire class and we’re done. The stand up strike by the UAW is only the start. It’s time to stand up and break they’re power in all industries and see an economy that is for the working class in every sector
