Unions are trash. Theyll Destroy a whole company for firing a shitty worker.
unions are the reason you aren’t paid 2.50 an hour with steel beams about to bust ya head open shut up lol
Unions are why you have 5 day, 40 hour full-time work weeks. Unions are why they have to pay you in actual dollars instead of “company credits” that you can only spend at the company-owned stores. Unions are why there are fucking fire exits at your place of work. Unions are why it’s not okay for your supermarket ground beef to be any percentage human.
You think your company pays you out of the goodness of their hearts? Or even out of “market pressure?” The “job market” is a myth perpetuated by the capitalists. Corporations would pay you nothing if they could get away with it. And you argue “oh, but if they paid me nothing I’d just go to another one.” Wrong. Because to maximize profits, they all want to pay you nothing. Corporations exist to maximize profits while reducing risk for investors. It’s part of their entire function to find ways to cut costs as much as possible, and that includes finding ways to pay you nothing.
Unions are your defense against that. You think all a union does is strike? If you pay union dues, a lot of that is spent on lobbyists in various governments reminding your lawmakers that you have rights as a living human being that a corporation should not be able to stomp all over. Unions hire lawyers so that if you’re fired for bullshit reasons, the union can stand up for you against your boss. They’re called unions because workers are uniting to pool resources so that they can stand up to these corporate overlords with more money than God. Unions exist because you might not have the words, resources, or time to fight workplace injustices all by yourself. That’s the whole fucking point.
And if a business shuts down because a union is striking, it’s because the business was abusing people and didn’t deserve to be in business anyway. Don’t make excuses for the corporations. They already have trillions of dollars and a couple million lawyers to do that for themselves. They don’t need your help.
The erasure of labor history from US history curriculum has caused so much fucking damage to this country.
Bosses: If you don’t like how we do things, don’t work here.
Workers: *Go on strike*
Bosses: Wait no not like that
A lot of union folk very literally fought and died for the workers’ rights we have today. Like no joke, bosses would hire goons to straight-up murder unionizing and striking workers.
All the most basic workers’ rights we have today were all paid for in blood. And conservatives have never stopped trying to take them all away again.
NEVER FORGET THAT LABOR DAY IS ACTUALLY ABOUT. I know people who legitimately think it’s like a secondary mothers day - you know, for going into labor.
But it’s about workers rights and the people who campaigned for it to be a holiday knew this fucking day would come.
If you are in the US and about to celebrate a 3-day weekend, thank a goddamn union worker.

ICE raids are starting on Tuesday in Chicago.
Yell “ICE” and “LA MIGRA” to disrupt them. Notify people and use your privilege as a citizen to make ICE’s job as difficult as possible.
Fascism has been here. It’s just loud now. Time to be loud too.
If you cannot attend protests in person, it’s time for you to organize with your community and educate yourself.
Donate to bail funds in your city now. Find the sanctuary cities near you.
Go to libraries. There are groups organizing. Do not let the censorship of TikTok allow these communities to go silent.
What they’re doing to TikTok and the timing of it, whether Trump saves it to make himself look better or he censors it on the doorstep of his new reign, it is intentional.
Trump is expected to issue an emergency executive order regarding the southern US border tomorrow after inauguration.
California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, be ready for ICE and border patrol.
#WTF isn’t Chicago a sanctuary city?
Yes. Trump is targeting sanctuary cities. This report on Chicago was originally a leak, so all sanctuary cities are on alert.
Tom Homan, the incoming "border tsar", has promised a big raid on illegal immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere.

On Monday, 26-year-old Daniel Penny was acquitted after killing Jordan Neely, a desperate Black homeless man on the subway, on the grounds that he was trying to protect others. On the same day, police detained 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, who is suspected of killing the CEO of a company that has denied thousands of life-saving healthcare claims.
Penny walks free after killing a man victim to the system. What will be the verdict for Mangione, who is suspected of killing a man symbolic of it?
As many have remarked, Brian Thompson’s tenure as CEO of insurance giant UnitedHealthcare was grisly. Thompson (alongside other higher-ups) allegedly conducted insider trading, selling millions of dollars of stock upon learning that the Department of Justice re-opened an antitrust investigation into UnitedHealth. While the company was on an upward profit swing, it has been awash in allegations and revelations of limiting mental health care coverage via algorithm, denying healthcare services needed after hospitalization at drastic rates via artificial intelligence, and denying insurance claims at a starkly high rate.
A gun killed Thompson. Paperwork has killed thousands.
Each case, obviously, is its own. But in each, contradictions of who is human, questions of who merits sympathy, and inquiries of what sort of society we tolerate, ring loud and clear.

imperial core commies put your money where your mouth is and support global south communist organising. if your paycheque is in usd, eur, gbp, cad, or aud, your money is incredibly powerful in kenya. the total cost of their listed needs is 435,000 kenyan shillings, and the usd goal is set at only 5,000, a totally achievable goal for progressive global northerners to fundraise online.

if you want a vouch, i can vouch for the organisers via two different routes of two degrees of separation, or through the fact that the fundraiser is promoted by anti-imperialist network, an org i would trust.

I am so serious when I say that now is the time to take your activism offline. I am not spending the next four years squabbling on social media or getting woke points by reblogging posts that my followers already agree with. There are real places in your offline community where you can do good if you seek them out
jd vance is about to be the first millennial vice president.
This is only the beginning yall.
Where's that guy that was still arguing about psyops like lagonegirl being fake in 2024 I want him to see this
Hey, some context for those not familiar with PA: this disinformation campaign is purposefully targeted at Bucks. Bucks County is a very, very contentious county. A large part of Bucks is rural Trump country but there are also highly populated pockets of blue. It is the 4th largest county in PA, and it borders #3 (Montgomery aka Montco) and #1 (Philadelphia). Bucks and Montco are huge swing counties in an important swing state: winning Bucks/Montco is essential this presidential election. Both went to Biden in 2020. Trump has been campaigning heavily in both counties. He needs them this time around.
The powers behind this disinformation campaign want to destroy the validity of Bucks/Montco vote counting. They are trying to set the stage for that now. If they can overturn or call into question one or both counties' votes, it's much more likely Trump will win mostly-rural PA. Philly and Pittsburg (Alleghany county) are going to go blue regardless; it's Bucks and Montco that will decide where PA ultimately ends. Think about what Trump supporters in Bucks might do if their county goes to Kamala and they've been convinced their vote was destroyed by The Libs. January 6 let us know that terroristic violence in response to losing is not out of the realm of possibility. A lot of the damage is already done. Whether or not Trump wins Bucks or overall, this is already a dangerous situation.
