This coming #NoKingsDay we remember that power belongs to the people, that truth stands tall in the face of evil, and that the spirit of the American people can never be broken. Stand tall, stand proud, and make your voices heard!

No person holding a full-time job, much less multiple jobs, should ever be in a position where they have to choose between keeping themselves fed or keeping themselves housed.

This unfortunate reality we find ourselves in will perpetuate until we stand together and declare an end to it. STRIKE!
This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

There’s a growing problem you’re not supposed to question: masked agents detaining migrants. Not in war zones...here...on U.S. soil. When power hides its face...it stops being accountable. When you can’t ID authority...you can’t challenge it. 1/5 🧵

Deportation to a country other than that of origin is something entirely new to America. For a reason. That the Supreme Court today affirmed this practice speaks only to how far our country has fallen from the heights it once set itself upon. While we are not perfect, we can be better than this.

Remember when people were saying: “the courts are the last line of defense!”

There was never a long-term line of defense. With the Supreme Court compromised, and we know that it is, major decisions like this will continue to happen.

If you aren’t preparing for a general strike, start now.
The “Third Country Removal Case” means thousands of people will be deported to extremely dangerous countries they’re not from with no due process.

No Kings Day is just two days away, and with protests popping up nationwide it’s important that everyone remember to keep it civil. Arrests are bound to happen, but it’s imperative that we don’t give this administration exactly the kind of ammo against us it’s looking for

In the early morning hours, Donald J. Trump moved to activate the California National Guard to quell protests and demonstrations held in solidarity against the actions taken by his administration. While he has made his intentions clear, there can be only one acceptable response: RESIST!

Hey, you! Yeah, you reading this.

You're being exploited under a capitalist system. Under a racist system, a sexist system, a classist system.

We are the working class, the working poor, and we are EXPLOITED. So, what are we gonna do about it?

Don’t join GSUS thinking that’s the end of it. Our organizing requires you to be in your COMMUNITIES.

Regional chapters provide support and solidarity, but they only work with YOU. A national movement succeeds at the local level.

Listen to this video, then listen again. He knows what’s up.

Opt out. Unsubscribe. Boycott. Grow your own food. Live in a tiny house or have several roommates. Buy locally. Use cash. Buy pre-owned. Borrow. Lend. Repair. Be ok with having less. Shut this shit show down. These are radical acts of resistance.

With wages largely stagnant and prices still rising, those of us who’d managed to move past the days of frito pies and ramen noodles are now back where they started. Those who never made it to that point just aren’t eating. Change isn’t just possible, it’s necessary! #generalstrikeus #change

Just a reminder that you are welcome to strike whenever you feel ready.

But GSUS is NOT calling for a general strike in June.

If you think about a General Strike and the first thing that comes to mind is, "That feels impossible", we get it. You're not alone. But there are tangible ways each one of us can start preparing, and it goes beyond a strike card. We are all organizers and leaders in this movement.

note that the 06/06 strike that’s been going around online is in no way associated with the @generalstrikeus.bsky.social movement. You’re of course free to participate, but know that this is not something we are organizing or otherwise associated with
GENERAL STRIKE!!
