While Left pats itself on the back about a "general strike" that wasn't, Fed terror continues. Stop fronting! The only language these thugs understand is force. The way to apply it? Bring out labor, shut Twin Cities down! No more Renee Goods!

Rather than confront obstacles to real strike, left pretends protest called for 1/23 is a general strike. That won't cut it. Left: stop fronting! We need real strike action against ICE on 1/23–to get there, draw a line against union tops & Dems!

"The only way we can defend Venezuela is through relying on ourselves and the strength of the working class, not the Democratic Party of imperialist war and Palestinian Genocide, or the UN, or international law…. Mobilize the U.S. working class against the bloody imperialists!"
