We request that #Montana Rep. Steve Gist delete his comment and issue an apology, not only to his constituents, but to the families who are suffering in the wake of the violence in Minnesota. Use our toolkit to learn how to take action: tinyurl.com/RemoveGist. #ShameOnGistMT

Why is community support important for union action ❓ Over the decades, successful labor action has typically included the support of community members outside of the union. This can look like signing petitions, going to picket lines and rallies, helping with food for strikers, and more. 🧵

So, not only did Mike Lee make abhorrent comments about the murder of one representative and the attack of another, but we have one here in #Montana who thinks that’s acceptable as well. We cannot stand for this in our state. GSMT will be putting together action items for you. Stay tuned.

@kristenmayx Missoula, Montana really showed up today. So much love, unity, and strength in one place. 🩷 #NoKingsDay #MissoulaMontana #Missoula #Montana #CommunityPower

Want to table for GSMT at community events and rallies?We’ve rolled out some NEW designs, like this table banner! Check out the resource drive in our link tree to find GSMT outreach materials. linktr.ee/gsusmt

Montana Governor vetos the shared community Solar project bill. This bill had bipartisan support and could help Montanans with soaring N Western Energy bills. NWE is raising rates by double digits. 😡

Over 9,000 @ufcw663.bsky.social members are negotiating new contracts and challenging unfair labor practices by UNFI/Cub Foods, the largest grocery store owner in Minneapolis. The union voted to reject a contract offer by employers who are not negotiating in good faith.

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

After three years and 1.3 million texts and phone calls, the national LGBTQ+ suicide prevention hotline is shutting down.

We CANNOT think individually, #Montana. We must think of the collective health and conservation of ALL public lands, far beyond our state. Because when they come for one, they come for all. Also, fuck Sheehy and Daines.

The Trump Administration’s proposed budget cuts threaten funding to programs that help Montana families stay healthy, including Medicaid. No Montanan should go to bed at night wondering if they’ll lose healthcare coverage or be able to access their providers.

Providers are under attack—and now, so are the protections that keep them safe. Over the weekend, Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed. Two more legislators were shot. And a hit list with abortion providers was found in the suspect’s car.

This on-again, off-again tug-of-war with OUR public lands needs to stop. Please don't stop at showing up at protests—put that leftover energy to use and call your reps! (Use the @5calls.org app, it makes it super easy.)

Good work all! @indivisiblebutte.bsky.social

MT's tribal communities are facing cuts to vital food bank programs. Secretary Kennedy broke his promise to support healthy food access in Indian Country, slashing funding for programs that provide nutritious, locally-sourced meals. Our tribes deserve better, let's fight for their food security.

Ditto from #Oklahoma

#Idaho Get the FUCK away from OUR NATION

#Iowa Try us motherfucker

Leave blue states alone, you orange wannabe dictator. Sincerely, Red state folks who aren’t afraid to fight for our comrades #Montana

BILLINGS FUCKING MONTANA NO KINGS-ING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN Yeah, I’m weepy

Saw this sticker on a car in Montana.

🧵This Saturday at the No Kings March & Rally, many GSUS chapters and members will be tabling and showing up strong. Let’s seize this moment to galvanize energy into action like: 🔧 Helping build the infrastructure for a general strike ✍️ Getting people to sign the Strike Card or Join a GSUS Chapter

"In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained." Y'all ready to get going on this General Strike thing yet?

Thank you to everyone who attended #LittleShell Fry Bread Chronicles to learn more about the history of our people.
