Join us in defense of education equity! Support educators and student alike against the dismantling of the Education Department and cuts to programs designed to help bring knowledge to the masses.

It's true and we should say it.

Describe good virtues as American. Call bad things Un-American. Not reinforcing it is how we let them get redefined.

almost like millions of people in those states voted for someone else or something /lh

This comment is clearly made in affectionate jest but I will say that over time I have been heartily relieved to discover my psyche understands the concept of "enough," and also that money is a tool to make lives better, not a cudgel to keep others down. I have my failures, but avarice isn't one.

The Truth Of The Matter And They Are Not Bringing Jobs Back….

Black and white etching-style triptych showing 8 hours for work on the left, 8 hours for rest in the middle, and 8 hours for “what we will” on the right

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?

139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

A 🧵

I would do anything for my city to be able to have a downtown movie theater I can walk/bike to.

Come out with us today from 4-7pm at the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge!

Day 29. I refuse to stop talking about the ICE detention facilities where we know that people have died

I’ll have some disdain for those that’ll only be motivated to act by an economic collapse. Our country has been in crisis for far too long

We need action NOW

Can't believe I have to be explicit that "assimilate or die" is a bad thing, freestanding of whatever the connotation of colonizer is for *you*.

I am using colonizer as it is defined...

Merriam-Webster: "a nation or state that takes control of a people or area as an extension of state power"

Oxford English: "A person who settles in a place as part of an effort ... to assert political control over any Indigenous inhabitants"

very convenient then that Israel is just laying claim to Gaza and the West Bank

almost sounds like colonizing a land filled with its own communities and telling them "assimilate or die". oh wait, the US did that too. What a coinkydink /s

We had a great day in Dallas for #Mayday. Thanks to all who turned out!

Hundreds gather in downtown Dallas for May Day protest Demonstrators stand at an entrance to Pacific Plaza as they participate in the May Day: Empowering Everyday...

it is fun to read profiles of this guy which play him up as some diabolical mastermind and then watch him in action and see a huge loser

#Mayday is next week, and there is plenty happening in #dfw. Join us for action in #Dallas and #FortWorth. DM to get involved! #50501dfw #50501movement

TOMORROW! Join us for a rally, with speakers followed by a vigil of sorts. We have made a ton of signs. "No war but class war" and "people not profit. Standing side by side, we will span the entire city block with a clear, unified message that will be hard to ignore. Join us!

had me in the first half ngl

it was a plurality, and yelling to everyone "I enjoy when people's rights and freedoms are trampled on" is a bit of a self own

wow, what a genius and novel idea, nobody has ever thought of that before! /s

on their site it specifies a judicial warrant

The correlation between people who actively worry about "echo chambers" and people who would be punched square in the face if they spouted their shitty ideas in public without a whole internet as a security barrier is pretty damn high

It is only when the oppressed find the oppressor out and become involved in the organized struggle for their liberation that they begin to believe in themselves. This discovery cannot be purely intellectual but must involve action; nor can it be limited to mere activism, but must include serious reflection: only then will it be a praxis.

going to eat french fries with cheese and possibly with gravy in solidarity

ILLINOIS… Gov. Pritzker…

The arrest of labor organizers by DPD is a clear attack on our 1st amendment rights. The time to stand up and fight back is now. Those before us fought for the labor rights of today. They sacrificed everything to build a world where the worker is more than a tool to be used by the billionaires.

DFW still has May Day events upcoming!
We are endorsing a rally in Fort Worth, and hosting one in Dallas!
If you would like to volunteer for Dallas, comment below! We are still looking for a couple Union speakers, maybe a poem reading?
