“The strike will disrupt our holiday season!”

Okay. Amazon should give the strikers what they want then. They literally have the resources, man. All you and everyone you know have to do is tell Amazon to back down. It’s that easy.

Lots of American progressives advocate ideas like a green new deal without examining the conditions that have historically led to these kinds of policies being implemented eg a strong labour movement and rulers being genuinely afraid that revolution could break out.

BREAKING: The biggest strike against Amazon in U.S. history is happening right now.

The Teamsters are picketing facilities across the country.

The union has organized workers at 10 Amazon locations AND they're putting up picket lines at hundreds of other Amazon sites nationwide.

There were Black men and immigrants working in the mines of Mingo county and too many people forget that.

When someone says “people died so you could join a union”, people typically picture some white guy getting gunned down outside a factory or at the Battle of Blair Mountain. And while there are valid reasons for that, people should also be aware that black men were lynched so that we could join too.

Me: *smacking the hell out of something with my lineman’s*

Foreman: Don’t make too much noise! This building is occupied by executives and they can force us to work nights.

Me: *smacks it even harder*

This is basically my main platform now tho I’ll occasionally still post on the fasho site (Some of peeps haven’t come over).

Gonna take me a minute to follow everyone back. Like this if I still haven’t gotten to yo.

Imma be honest. Until I watch the new HBomb video, I’m not gonna know who James Sunderland is. I genuinely don’t know who that person is and kinda assume you all made him up.

So this just happened:

Me: Do Christian anarchists have a special prayer?

Christian Anarchist: What?

Me: Do Christian anarchists have a special prayer? You know, like some kind of unique denominational prayer or something?

CA: Alki, what the fuck are you talking about?

We doin’ spooky names on this site or naw?

A postage about the attacks of September 11, 2001, reading "Your leaders can't protect you but they can get you killed."

In response to the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center 22 years ago, the US showed that there is no tragedy that government can't make worse.

In this thread, we'll explore the legacy of 9/11/2001 and the US response.

I love the sometimes chaotic nature of public transportation.

This dude just smoked a cigarette on the train. Even shared it with the dude across from him while everyone else looked on in astonishment.

I am from North Carolina. But I've come to terms with the fact that no one thinks I'm from NC based on my accent. They assume I'm from "the islands" or some shit.

So give it to me straight? Do I have an accent? Where does it sound like I'm from?

The flag of Svensk Socialistisk Samling

He wasn't just member #4014 of fascist group Svensk socialistisk samling until Sept. 1945. There's evidence he recruited too. A group that kept lists of Jews & had aspirations to create camps and participate in the Holocaust. This was a flag they used

A famous Swedish fascist sitting in his chair.

My labor organizing counts as anti-fascist organizing because the company I worked for was founded by a literal fascist during WWII. He was also lifelong best friends with Per Engdahl, a notable neo-fascist figure. When you see two best friends and one them is a fascist . . .
