Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Me when people say: “We can’t strike.” I assure you, you can. It may not be legal, but many workers have won big with illegal strikes! 🍞🌹
Anyway I really think we lawyers need to stop saying "can't do that" and start saying "the law does not permit that" because those are two very very different things

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.
