Organized people will— must— determine the path forward. What if tenants wield a new kind of power in relation to their homes? What if they can do so alongside farmworkers, ratepayers, trade unionists? Could that be a winning team to take on all that hurts us? We have to try.

gonna keep ringing this bell: everyone from climate to repro activism should get familiar w/ the techniques used to repress the Stop Cop City movement (bs RICO charges, weaponization of vague new "anti-terror" laws, criminalization of bail funds, ect) and have a plan to meet them

last night at the @wawog_now town hall an uncommitted delegate shared a stage with someone who took direct action against elbit. i am still hopeful for a multi-tendency tent of palestine solidarity, grounded in respect for the right to resist & the principle of non-disavowal ❤️‍🔥

The people who differ on strategy from you today may not be your enemies. Because this ballot won’t save Gaza in either direction. Our coalitions could. They are worth protecting, because we have work to do tomorrow. A lot of work.

Imagine poor and working class tenants. Now imagine them organizing, across buildings, neighborhoods, in encampments, citywide. Imagine them unionizing. Imagine those unions linking, sharpening each other, a different kind of power. You’re not just imagining, it’s happening 😌

Seems like an escalation in demands. Now that the term "ceasefire" has been appropriated and redefined by the Biden admin to mean something more like a temporary and highly conditional pause, it's helpful for unions to explicitly demand the US stop sending military aid to Israel.

Breaking: The National Network for a Ceasefire is calling for an embargo on all military aid to Israel. The call from six national unions, making up almost half all union members in U.S., comes a day before Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, a war criminal, speaks to Congress.

We have to recognize where we have power and leverage it on every possible front in every possible way. This post is not for the people who think politics begin and end w presidential elections. It's for my comrades who are burnt out and tired and wish we could save

All eyes on Rafah. The Israelis will try to start the operation slowly and ambiguously, like they did with the ground invasion in October, to blunt the impact of its commencement. But it’s happening and it’s time to sound the alarm

today on the anniversary of the Kent State massacre that killed 4 students, University of Virginia deployed state police to brutalize & teargas students. camping is not violence. trespassing is not violence. breaking windows is not violence. genocide & policing is violence.
