We need to talk about WHY Sinclair media will stop, why Fox News will stop, why billionaires will stop funding the destruction of America and it means stopping their means of income, we need to talk about why the voters who support Trump will stop and it means stopping service, and that means escalating protests and #GeneralStrike

You need to face what it takes to stop this or expect the horrors to escalate, that Plenary shit is serious.

When this is over, we need to seriously implement Nuremberg style trials.
And I'm not talking just the obvious fascism, but the lunacy that just ended
research into mRNA protocols that could have CURED ALZHEIMERS.
Along with a number of cancers and many, many infectious diseases. This
is more than criminal, it's crime against all of humanity. It's crime against the
future.
You have no idea how much | despise what this political party and their
miserable ideology have become.

Labor is Our Shield: Shut It Down for Palestine.

Crew member on the Handala and leading trade unionist, Chris Smalls and Italian dockworker Romeo Pelliccaria speak for the global working class:

"The interception confirms the complicity of the billionaire class and governments in genocide. As unionists, we believe: an injury to one is an injury to all. Our strongest weapon is to withhold our labor. Workers in Europe have shown the way by shutting down ports. Now, we demand real solidarity: a General Strike in America. Trade unions must be reminded they are the shield of the working class, and that includes the liberation of Palestine."

It is time to hold these entities accountable. Shut it down.

Nothing less than a global general strike in as many countries as possible and in as many industries as possible to going to stop Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.

We have the power to stop this if we stop it all. Ground it to halt, even for a day. That’s our power. Whether we choose to use it remains to be seen.

@augieray I’m not gonna pretend to tell portlanders what to do. But it seems like a #generalstrike would be a great response. Everyone stay home. Shut businesses. Empty the streets. Let the soldiers be the only ones out and about. Just stay in until they leave. It would amp up the pressure to get them to leave, but with (in my mind) maximum safety for everyone.

Today in Labor History September 16, 1945: 43,000 oil workers went on strike in 20 states. During WWII, most of the major unions collaborated with the U.S. war effort by enforcing labor “discipline” and preventing strikes. In exchange, the U.S. government supported closed shop policies under which employers at unionized companies agreed to hire only union members. While the closed shop gave unions more power within a particular company, the no-strike policy made that power virtually meaningless. When the war ended, inflation soared and veterans flooded the labor market. As a result, frustrated workers began a series of wildcat strikes. Many grew into national, union-supported strikes. In November 1945, 225,000 UAW members went on strike. In January 1946, 174,000 electric workers struck. That same month, 750,000 steel workers joined them. Then, in April, the coal strike began. 250,000 railroad workers struck in May. In total, 4.3 million workers went on strike. It was the closest the U.S. came to a national General Strike in the 20th century. And in December 1946, Oakland, California did have a General Strike, the last in U.S. history. Overall, it was the largest strike wave in U.S. history. In 1947, Congress responded to the strike wave by enacting the Taft-Hartley Act, restricting the powers and activities of labor unions and banning the General Strike. The act is still in force today and one the main reasons there hasn’t been a General Strike in the U.S. since 1945.

Today in Labor History September 8, 1901: Francisco Ferrer, Spanish anarchist educator, opened the libertarian Escuela Moderna in Barcelona, Spain. It was one of the first schools in Spain to coeducate boys and girls. During Ferrer’s days, the Spanish literacy rate was only 50% and all schools were church-regulated. The teachers at the Church-run schools emphasized rote memorization of Catholic dogma, were hostile to any scientific and political thinking that displeased the Church and often physically brutalized students. In contrast, Modern Schools purged their books of all religion and their curriculum was fully secular. These ideas were so popular that 40 more Modern Schools opened in Barcelona in just a few years, while 80 other schools adopted his textbooks.

In 1909, mass protests against Spanish intervention in Morocco grew into a General Strike. The state responded with a week of terror and repression known as “The Tragic Week,” during which they slaughtered over 600 workers. The authorities blamed Ferrer, even though he was nowhere near Barcelona at the time. And they executed him later that year. Ferrer’s execution led to worldwide protests and organizing. Modern Schools started to pop up outside of Spain, inspired by his original Escuela Moderna. After his death, activists created more than 200 Modern Schools in Spain and 20 more in the U.S., one of which continued operating until 1958.

By the time of the First World War, Modern Schools were operating in Philadelphia, Detroit, New York, Seattle, Portland, Chicago and Salt Lake City, with more soon to follow in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston and Paterson. They taught classes in English, Yiddish, Czech, Italian and Spanish. While most of the Modern Schools lasted only a few years, the school in Stelton, New Jersey. lasted four decades. Some of the students at the original New York Modern School were photographer Man Ray and Margaret Sanger’s son. The last Modern School in America was in Lakewood, New Jersey. It operated from 1933 to 1958. Two of its last students were the Rosenberg’s sons, who attended the Modern School summer camp after their parents were executed.
