We wish everyone a very happy General Strike day!
Today is the day we stand up with our friends and neighbors and drive these authoritarian pricks out of our state.
Things are dire, yes, but do not let them take your joy. We outnumber them. Let them know it!

On Good Friday in 1963, the day Dr. King was arrested for protesting, a group of white clergymen wrote an open letter called "A Call to Unity."
It said, essentially, "don't take the bait."
Dr. King responded in his Letter from Birmingham Jail.

![I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the [the] great stumbling block in [our] stride toward freedom is ... the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action." ... Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Today is MLK day. Today you will see one particular quote weaponized by politicians to gloss over his overarching project - a society of racial, economic, and social justice. In this moment, where those things feel so far away, may his memory show us how much is possible in one lifetime.

Great thread from our Dark Clouds friends:
It's heartbreaking that our community is once again forced to comfort each other after needless tragedy at the hands of overreaching authoritarians.
We join our neighbors in their grief, their anger, and the unequivocal assertion that ICE does not belong here.

Heartbreaking, but there will be plenty of core memories to come out of this season. Major ups to the boys in black and blue and what they put in this year. We'll see you in the stands next year (although the the efforts to seize the means of production will roll on uninterrupted)
