Here is a list of companies advertising on KATU, the local Sinclair TV station that is continuing to keep Kimmel off the air. Call a couple and tell them you will boycott them until KATU airs Kimmel again.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

It is true that the history of general strikes shows us they always involve some suffering and loss, sometimes a lot. I agree that we have to be prepared for that pain and aim for the change we can accomplish together in the long run

We can definitely work on building financial support systems for striking people. And if we can pull off a serious general strike we would have the economic leverage to force corporations and government to bend to our demands, including protecting people from evictions and cuts to insurance.

At one point I thought that higher education being targeted like this would finally get us all to see ourselves and each other as laborers under common struggles, rather than like, desperately doubling down on artificial divisions and protecting oneโs own rank and privilege. Lol

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Understanding a General Strike
What a real general strike includes:
A true general strike is not just everyone walking off their job one day. Itโs:
โข Work stoppages across multiple industries
โข Consumer boycotts of non-essential spending
โข Mass refusal to participate in capitalism as usual
โข Mutual aid networks to keep people fed, housed, and supported
โข Rolling strikes or sector-specific walkouts
โข Public disruption (marches, occupations, etc.)
Itโs a coordinated, prolonged refusal to keep society running for the benefit of the ruling class. You donโt need every worker to strike at once, thatโs a myth. You need strategic disruption and sustained refusal across enough pressure points to hurt profits and control.
To think a general strike is only people walking off the job for a day, getting punished, and going back to work defeated is not just wrong, itโs a caricature.
Spreading that version discourages people, spreads fear, and stalls momentum. Whether they mean to or not, it ends up reinforcing the idea that nothing can change.
Why did you pick the one thing that obviously doesnโt apply to you. Do what you can, is the point. Watch someoneโs pet while they protest even. Itโs a community pulling together to support each other through this, thatโs all.

Original post on mastodon.social
In Philadelphia, sanitation workers make $39,000 to $42,000 a year ($18 to $20 an hour).
The living wage for a Philadelphia family with one child is approximately double that amount.
Theyโd need to make nearly $39 an hour to maintain a normal standard of living.

Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice
Published:
June 20, 2025
Who will stand up for our democracy? This question, fraught in even the most peaceful times, has only grown more pressing as our country approaches its 250th anniversary. Each passing day brings growing assaults on essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process. Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against peaceful protestors. We teeter on the brink of collapse into an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing.
Members of Congressโnow, more than ever, our nation desperately needs your cowardice.
The Onion has sent the following letter to all 535 members of Congress. This special edition will be in their physical mailboxes as they return from recess tomorrow.
We hope it inspires them to continue to cower as our essential liberties are systematically dismantled.

๐จThe Senate is considering a budget bill that would devastate public educationโcutting Medicaid, school meals, and funding through a national voucher scheme. Tell your senator to vote NO. Our students and educators deserve better.

Actually Oregon is way behind the national average on funding for higher education. We don't need to put ourselves against other essential education sectors, to fight for more funding, adequate funding, for education from cradle to career

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid.

Why Protests Should Be Promises
Modern movements that aim to advance racial equity should withhold and promise, rather than perform, writes Olรบfแบนฬmi Tรกรญwรฒ
"...for protests to succeed, they must be backed by movements with the ability to promise to withholdโlabor, debt payments, rent payments, or consumer supportโand to follow through if demands arenโt met."
