Members of the Solidarity Brigade in Bellingham, WA recently projected onto a local hospital. The projection was in response to prioritizing monetary gain and not properly compensating staff in negotiations. Awesome projection. Way to go!

So. We brought the U.S. Constitution to the White House on May Day. A U.S. Constitution no one can ignore. You know, the rule of law. Comfortable D.C. insiders of all stripes, step up! Your cowardice is showing. Your turn to uphold the rule of law! @backbonecampaign.bsky.social
