“The strike will disrupt our holiday season!”
Okay. Amazon should give the strikers what they want then. They literally have the resources, man. All you and everyone you know have to do is tell Amazon to back down. It’s that easy.

Lots of American progressives advocate ideas like a green new deal without examining the conditions that have historically led to these kinds of policies being implemented eg a strong labour movement and rulers being genuinely afraid that revolution could break out.

BREAKING: The biggest strike against Amazon in U.S. history is happening right now.
The Teamsters are picketing facilities across the country.
The union has organized workers at 10 Amazon locations AND they're putting up picket lines at hundreds of other Amazon sites nationwide.

When someone says “people died so you could join a union”, people typically picture some white guy getting gunned down outside a factory or at the Battle of Blair Mountain. And while there are valid reasons for that, people should also be aware that black men were lynched so that we could join too.

In response to the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center 22 years ago, the US showed that there is no tragedy that government can't make worse.

I love the sometimes chaotic nature of public transportation.
This dude just smoked a cigarette on the train. Even shared it with the dude across from him while everyone else looked on in astonishment.

I am from North Carolina. But I've come to terms with the fact that no one thinks I'm from NC based on my accent. They assume I'm from "the islands" or some shit.
So give it to me straight? Do I have an accent? Where does it sound like I'm from?

My labor organizing counts as anti-fascist organizing because the company I worked for was founded by a literal fascist during WWII. He was also lifelong best friends with Per Engdahl, a notable neo-fascist figure. When you see two best friends and one them is a fascist . . .
