You're fired up, but we haven't called the strike yet...what to do?!
Channel that energy toward getting ready by nourishing the connections that will sustain you during a strike, getting the word out, or creating your strike plan - what other ways can you think of? We'd love to hear them!!

Important quote: “they were treating us exactly as they would treat BoP prisoners, and they told us that.”
We need prison abolition. Detainment conditions right now aren’t new, they didn’t just appear in November. Activists have been calling for abolition for a long time. And this is why.

There is some chatter about how we shouldn't deter anyone from organizing a general strike. That's 100% true, and we are interested in learning from or collaborating with any other group who is working on making this happen. But there are issues with just setting a (very close) date. 🧵

this is still happening today!! we’ll also have a limited amount of masks since the AQI is so bad
Pop up from Mask Bloc MSP for rapid action Covid tests that expire 7/17/25! Come get some tests at the corner or Nicollet Mall and 9th st by the target store to give to people before they expire. We will have cold water available for people passing through (1/2)

Piling on a man who is screaming for help is unacceptable.
Make no mistake that this brutality is not "public safety" as several news outlets are framing it.
We can come up with solutions for public safety that don't involve killing people in crisis.
Nothing justifies this.
Enough is enough.

Potential death due to police tactics:
There’s footage on Instagram of what appears to be an unhoused person in Haverhill, MA with several police on top of him and he’s yelling for help and then … CPR and he’s dead
Like it looks like George Floyd, folks

Sick of ICE? Us too! Let's tell them!
![I.C.E. OUT OF THE COURTS
Press Conference + Rally
[image of an ICE badge crossed out and a judicial gavel]
Every day in Minnesota, immigrants are having their court cases dismissed by judges and the DOJ who all work for Trump. MIRAC members have witnessed how without fail, after every one of these dismissals, our immigrant neighbors are being kidnapped by ICE in the courthouse to be deported without due process. Join us to say this must end now!
MIRAC - Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee
🗓️ Date: Monday, July 14th
🕕 Time: 12:30PM
🗺️ Location: Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building [1 Federal Dr. Ft Snelling, MN 55111]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wukih32i4vlgymos7o54jy7f/bafkreifuxw6ro44263kfnzogy7ckhylsktszrxjczgxjgyxo6r3we3oxku@jpeg)

They fear our power because it doesn’t beg it organizes. We don’t strike just to protest, we strike to build the world we deserve. Every step we take, every action we plan, brings us closer to seizing what’s been stolen from the people. Build power. Strike back. #GeneralStrikeUS #Strikeback

Read news, op-eds, and analysis, not AI summaries. Create your own art (even if it's messy) or hire an artist to do it. Do your own homework. Talk to people, not chatbots. Keep your thinking and skills sharp and cherish our messy humanity. That's the new punk rock.

Why did you pick the one thing that obviously doesn’t apply to you. Do what you can, is the point. Watch someone’s pet while they protest even. It’s a community pulling together to support each other through this, that’s all.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

we call it MA here, but some people call it MNCare or they just go by the PMAP they have and don’t call it MA at all.
Speaking of the bill, did you know that tons of people on Medicaid don’t actually know they are on it? Many states give alternate names to their Medicaid programs, such as DenaliCare in Alaska, Bayou Health in Louisiana, and STAR+PLUS in Texas.
