Solidarity with Amazon workers in Spain - on strike for better pay, safety, respect. Fighting for all of us!

Health Care Workers Spoke Out for Their Peers in Gaza. Then Came Backlash. Medical institutions are silencing their staff and impeding efforts to build solidarity with medical workers in Gaza.

Free speech.... unless you are a healthcare worker speaking out against Israeli genocide. @mariannedhe.bsky.social in @truthout.org

Because his opposition was Democrats.

Yo, Dems: Releasing the Epstein files won’t lower my rent, make transit free, give my coworkers a living wage or healthcare, or stop racist police killings.

Dems want to score political points, not address the material needs of working people.

Time for a new party.
@workersstrikeback.bsky.social

Uh, no, we don’t believe you.

Pissed at Dems (again)?

Go to @workersstrikeback.bsky.social and let’s build a real fight for free healthcare, rent control, tax the rich, and end to funding genocide.

Go to @workersstrikeback.bsky.social and fight alongside people with integrity.

….Then why do you counsel the movement to support these sellout Dems?

Time for a new party, by and for working people.

After the hopescrolling, what comes next? One of our members has some ideas.

For the Movement That Elected Zohran Mamdani, Now Comes the Hard Part Holding political office is not the same as wielding political power—especially for the left. To win bold demands, social movements must go on the offensive.

Mazel tov to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the movement! Now, the hard part. I wrote in @thenation.com that today's social movement must go on the offensive, striking out independently to give us a fighting chance against big biz, Trump, & the political duopoly.

This in the @washingtonpost.com today, says it all about why the Democrats will not save us from Trump.

Dem Party is seen as *more* out of touch than even Trump. Pathetic.

Time for a new party, accountable to working people, not the billionaires.

Magic Numbers Are No Shortcut to Strategy We can no longer afford the convenient untruth that real-world resistance to tyranny can escalate solely through peaceable demonstrations.

Beating Trump is not a simple mobilizing numbers game; it's also about strategy and how that coalescing movement projects power. Ben Case in @convergencemag.com

A sane country would have given voters a choice besides the two corporate-controlled, profit-protecting, genocide-loving political parties.

The Democratic Party is not going to save us from Trump and his fascist minions. We have to build independent movements accountable to working people.

Amazon invests over $1 billion to raise employee pay, lower health-care costs Amazon said it is investing more than $1 billion to raise pay and lower health-care costs for U.S. fulfillment and transportation employees.

yep, this is about 2 percent of Amazon's 2024 profits.

Amazon workers need to organize to win what we fully deserve.
