Free Congo Free Cuba Free Palestine Free Sudan Free Hawaii Free Turtle Island Free Humanity! Organizing our resistance here, will help our comrades across borders and overseas. #Generalstrikeus ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏻

Seeing the world as it is, not as we’re conditioned to, is transformative. Systems like the American school limit our perspective, while tools like scientific socialism reveal systemic oppression and global connections. Understanding these structures empower us when striking back. #Generalstrikeus

Crime is not an objective measure of morality or justice but rather a social construct shaped by those in power to maintain their dominance. either we continue to comply with a system that prioritizes profit over people, or we organize our collective resistance. #Generalstrikeus

“The #BuildAndFight Formula of #CooperationJackson is both an argument and a proposed methodology on how to build eco-socialism from below, meaning through the self-organized activities and institutions of the working class and oppressed people.” FULL VIDEO on YouTube @JacksonRising

History will not repeat itself. We cannot let it happen. Join our General Strike! Join the coalitions in your community that speak to you most. Band together and most importantly… stand up against this cowardly racist crew. #blackhistory #strike #ally #antiracism

It is crucial to recognize these constraints as a form of oppression and organize collectively to advocate for the release of those whose lives have been disrupted by the justice system. #GeneralStrikeUS #ClassWar

Former BLA political prisoner Dhoruba bin Wahad has been going through financial trouble due to cancer treatment and travel expenses. He is asking for people to donate to his Cashapp/GoFundMe:

Amen, Amen! The butterfly effect is on steroids in this resistance. If you get a wave of bravery, do any little thing to pass courage along. Fascism is based on fear and withering. It feels great to quietly say, “I wish a MotherFu€>##! would.”

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a historical year-long event that led to the desegregation of public buses & helped launch the modern #CivilRights Movement. It took (over a span of) several years to organize. Tackling issues this wrong + deep-rooted takes bravery, community and time.

Educators are another important group of the GSUS. And they are not being given the funding, resources, OR respect they deserve. Stand with our teachers & school faculty members! Join this movement + our General Strike: generalstrikeus.com/strikecard.

The USA has a tendency to hide its true character. This is exactly why many people believe the fascism we see today appeared out of nowhere. When has the USA ever been great? It has been great at restricting the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for those it considers inferior #Generalstrikeus

Fascism Has Been Here. If we truly believe enough is enough, that this is the breaking point, then it’s time to strike back, at its very core, at its heart. Fascism thrives on our compliance. It grows stronger through our silence, our unwillingness to confront it. #Generalstrikeus

“Fascism is an economic and social system, and its open prison structure is an extension of the overall policy of oppression.” He believed that the state's violence, whether in prisons, police brutality, or colonial wars, was a hallmark of fascism, which masked itself as "law and order" and reform.

Check your privilege: Is your solidarity real, or just a facade to restore your sense of 'normal'?"🤔 #Generalstrikeus

No truly civilized society would let a basic human need like shelter be corrupted by greed. A system driven by profit over empathy, domination over justice, cannot claim to champion liberty. It’s time to dismantle a structure that exploits and oppresses its own people. #Generalstrikeus

No notes.

I called PayPal because the app won’t allow me to cancel my account. They asked me why I wanted to leave. I had some colorful language about Thiel and Musk and suggested the employee find new employment. 10 days later they claim there is a purchase pending. Hmmm… @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

Are the oligarchs at the gate? If there’s no park rangers or forest service employees who will see when corporations start cutting trees and mining for minerals? Just asking questions. Tucker taught us that trick. apnews.com/article/trum...
