Everyone needs to be asking themselves: what comes after silence…

We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany.

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

Every union should be echoing this statement.

Every day I wake up and check the news to see if it's The Big Day. I can't wait for The Big Day!!

The last time we got Dems to wholeheartedly support social programs was because of the threat of militant labor and global communism. Thus that’s the pragmatic thing to do

MAGA forces have begun what they believe to be their final offensive against everything on the Left. One way to fight back is for organized labor to become a conscious anti-fascist movement.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Today in Cincinnati, Police shut down a highway overpass and held a line on each side to allow Hate Club to wave swastika flags and nazi banners unchallenged. They then protected them as they loaded back into their box truck, while physically pushing back a crowd of people trying to confront them.

Maybe if someone tells the Democrats that trump’s cronies are organizing peaceful encampments on college campuses to protest genocide they’ll freak out and do something

They only make ultra soft bristle toothbrushes in pinks and purples to try and emasculate me but jokes on them I like pink and purple and do not care about masculinity 💅🏻

On Friday, up to a thousand students at #Arizona State University (ASU) marched on an attempted rally by neo-Nazis who were calling on students to report undocumented people to #ICE. The crowd surrounded the Nazis + flipped their table. itsgoingdown.org/students-shu...

"a general strike is a pipe dream, it would require too much organization" Good news, this campaign won't move forward until 11 million people commit.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive."

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

I don't often talk at length about Trump on here because from me it's just fully redundant at this point. There are only so many ways to say "I hate this guy in a very complete manner" that don't violate terms of service.

When Biden/Harris were sending billions in weapons and cash and giving Israel carte blanche to do as much slaughter as they wanted but frowning and pretending they were trying to stop it the whole time I used to think who the fuck does this work on? Millions of dog-brained liberal psychos turns out!

My earliest childhood memory about race was my mom and aunts calling out my grandmother for calling her coworker a "colored girl". My grandma was speaking warmly about her friend at work but they still gave her some feedback. I feel very lucky I wasn't raised by racists.
