It's a little sad that American Auto was cancelled right before the Stand Up Strike. Could've been a fun story arc.

Unions Are Going to Die Unless Something Big Changes Soon The labor movement isnโ€™t just the weakest itโ€™s been in a century. Without a radical and aggressive shift in organizing, US unions could effectively cease to matter in the very near future.

The labor movement isnโ€™t just weak, itโ€™s approaching an event horizon: the point at which unions become so small they lose the political, cultural, and institutional mass to successfully reverse their own decline. ๐Ÿงต jacobin.com/2026/02/unio...

Minneapolis has developed an effective new tactic to disrupt ICE and break companies away:

Make a ton of late-night noise outside the hotels ICE agents are staying at

Minneapolis organizer Aru Shiney-Ajay explains why this tactic has been so powerful โ€” and how people nationwide can do the same ๐Ÿงต

It's a good thing that people want to go on strike even if they don't really know what that is.

Today, grassroots organizers have called for a national strike in the US, asking businesses to close, and people to stay home from school or work. Breweries are using the event to speak out, with surprising force and transparency.

"...the entire solar system is revolving around a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way. I know what you're thinking, but let me stop you there. That is nothing compared to the speed that the galaxy moves away from the origin of the Big Bang. You imbecile. You fucking dolt."

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.
