A general strike unites workers across sectors to shut down business as usual, forcing real change from the ground up. When 3.5% of the population mobilizes, history shows it's enough to topple unjust systems. Your labor is power. Time to withhold it. #3E #GSUS generalstrikeus.com

They are trying to wear us down. At lightning speed, they’ve reshaped law to serve power, not people. Each decision lands like a blow. It is emotionally and intellectually draining. But we are not without compass. These words below aren’t relics, they are a reminder. We have a lot of work to do.

REPORT: Trump/MAGA budget bill could “add $3.5 to $4.2 trillion to the debt.” National debt for all of us to give billionaires massive handouts. Let’s be clear: The Republican Party is not “the party of fiscal responsibility.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer www.crfb.org/blogs/senate...

This is where we are: Attorney's for Abrego Garcia have asked the judge to KEEP Garcia in jail because they fear what Trump's gestapo would do...immediately deport Garcia. Immigrants with no criminal records are safer in jail than on the Nazi streets.
