  • We are getting to a point of no return... or at least a return that would be very, very difficult to achieve. But it's all done in a very calculated way to make you feel like everything is going fine if you're not directly affected. It's fine if the Supreme Court approves of these power grabs, right? And, how can I pay attention when there's so much going on, right? But Trump is demonizing groups of people as enemies, defying constitutional rights, and making power grabs never before seen from the executive branch in this country. It's only been a few months and it keeps getting worse.

    We're in very deep shit. Sign a strike card! https://generalstrikeus.com/

  • Sign a strike card, baby https://generalstrikeus.com/ we've got a long way to go but I've been handing out flyers on the street... Spread the decentralized jeezus-i-wish-we-had-labor-unions word. Please. No really... I'm begging.

  • Labor unions were integral to both of these movements. Students may not have learned much about labor unions in school, but the political elites sure have focused on dismantling them.

    The workweek strikes in France a few years ago were entirely organized by five or so labor unions. They wanted to maintain their 35-hour work week. Can you imagine?

  • I've been watching the numbers for a while and there was a large bump up a few months ago when the protests started. Many people are looking for an organizing voice but without unions who will be heard?

    I was recently toying with taping the URL to the back of my car...

  • Already no one is allowed in the White House, and DC is under National Guard control. They're setting this one up well in advance, friend. Still not sure what to do about it.

    Anybody calling for a gen strike yet? I wish I had a labor union to tell me when it's time.

  • Please stop deleting comments. It is like pulling a thread out from a shirt everybody is wearing. I get it, but add an edit, use a strikethrough, or find some way to cope with your original comment.

    Edit: Holy fuck, a mod deleted this comment thread with the excuse, "reason: Deleted by mod: Gay used as a slur." What the fuck? Gay was NOT used as a slur, and over-moderation is NOT why I came to Lemmy.

  • I got a call last week from a car dealership asking for Linda, again, and I said "I get calls for Linda all the time," and that my caller ID comes up as "Linda," and that now, when I call my dad he shouts "YO LINDA" as a greeting. And the dealership rep told me that Linda is a sweet old lady who is hoping to get a car soon. I asked the rep if she would say hi to Linda for me and she said for sure she would.
