Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Yes! A real leader doesn't read polls. A real leader leads.

Maybe we should take away their toys -- the horrendous weaponry -- and stop allowing it.

Even NYT knows "Trump bad" gets us nowhere. But hey, brings in $, to them ironically more important than stopping Trump. (NYT now savvy about paywalls, hence through a different site.)

Even militantly centrist NYT seems to get it, above the fold. Dems could be pushing bold ideas -- hugely taxing billionaires, single-payer health care where we're all treated equally -- that huge majorities from all sides support. Instead it's "let me tell you how bad Trump is." Recipe for failure.

Again, Rachel spends her time addressing mythical conservatives who don't listen to her anyway. In an earlier conversation she pretended to understand how timid liberals failed to unify militantly. Alas, timid 30s and contemporary are once again left off the hook. Back to simply "Trump bad." Sigh..

And here's the supposedly "liberal" media, downplaying this. "Well, the law says they can't do that, so surely they won't do that, right?"

What's even more disturbing is that for many crucial issues - mega-taxing billionaires and single-payer healthcare - most elected Dems are to the right, more content with the status quo, than the average U.S. voter of all sorts, across the board.

Because donors.

Sadly most media aren't providing any numbers. At this point i feel the only hope would be a general strike.

This kids wins the day.

Different details, but amazing how much this coincides with the attitude of the BCNDP. Help extraction and construction workers (and their bosses of course), but screw teachers, nurses and almost every other facet of society.

Pardon me, i didn't realize i was following an asshole.

I never want to hear Carney or the Liberals mention " Elbows Up" or "nation building" again. This country is so stupid.
Selling off the only remaining west coast refinery to American Trump supporters.

Cory Booker has approved scores of Trump appointees and is 100% beholden to AIPAC and big pharma.

While “trading up the chain” is an established strategy for media manipulation & marketing, LLMs like Google’s Gemini can turn the chain into an elevator to the penthouse, elevating falsehoods (even those published with intent to debunk!) to top hits in short order.

And Dems? I guess in RachelWorld, that's okay. 12 Dem senators under the "leadership" of Schumer just voted to approve a Trump federal judge, Thursday. If that's not appeasement, what is? Maybe Rachel could quote that up to her heroes: Schumer, Jeffries, Ken Martin, Newsom, etc.

@greyson.bsky.social may know.

It's Up to the Global Community to Transform the Gaza Ceasefire Into a Lasting Peace Whether Israel actually withdraws from the occupied Gaza Strip and upholds the ceasefire remains in question so long as the Trump administration and US congressional leadership of both parties refuse to condition military aid to Israel.

No plan will lead to a real and permanent peace between Israelis and Palestinians unless it is premised on equal rights for Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs, either in a viable two-state solution or a single binational state with guaranteed equal rights for both, says @szunes.bsky.social.
