I just have to wonder why shirt tags are still so abrasive when we've had decades to collectively figure out a less awful solution.
I know part of it is likely to survive washes and preserve information, but it shouldn't be THAT hard to solve that without carving into my flesh.

The problem is that plantation and factory owners had a war and the plantation owners became factory owners and are trying to reverse the war.
The problem is the plantations started the whole mess in the first place.
It's still the same fucking war.
We just haven't realized it nationally yet.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities
This is exactly the opposite.
Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

This should be the baseline energy from every Democrat. This should be the least angry they ever get to be. This should be the nicest language they ever use in reference to Republicans. If you can't do *at least* this, retire or get yourself retired.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

...somehow, that makes a lot of sense.
The USA does terrible things under the smokescreen of national scares.
Like violating the constitution by putting "god" on our currency and in the pledge during the red scare.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.
ICE at Midway Target and seem to possible be leaving. Lots of community members here

Grandma was watching the news about the ICE shooting that happened today.
Grandma: “What does ICE stand for?”
Me: “Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They—”
Grandma: “Oh, so they’re Nazis.”
If Holocaust survivors can tell, so should everyone else.

They're literally mimicking it with the videos they're putting out.

Union busting only happens when those in charge want the workers starving, overworked, underpaid, and a paycheck away from homelessness.
