IMPORTANT: We must build power outside of electoral politics immediately. We have a small window right now to organize, and if we do not put the seeds in place now we will not have the power to fight back when things get REALLY bad.
How to get involved right now, a thread.
„You grew up under communism, so you and other Eastern Europeans certainly understand the gift of freedom more than Americans do, could you elaborate on that?“
„Actually, I had a beautiful childhood and didn‘t miss anything“
American century of humiliation

We’re hosting a music and arts showcase @RowanUniversity to spotlight young creators, artists, and performers who spark social change through the idea of unapologetic activism for a better tomorrow! There will be food, featured art, and live music!
This has been the third mass shooter ever in this country to identify as trans compared to the literal thousands of shooters who did not, yet the Right will not stop talking about how the entire trans community is violent in an effort to further dehumanize. Don’t fall for it.
Two bills in Texas would essentially prevent towns and counties from passing labor protections in their jurisdictions. Never let republicans tell you they are for “limited government”. They have no issues using the power of the state to please their corporate donors!
Today, we reached a new Tentative Agreement with @TempleUniv. This TA reflects the incredible work of striking members over the past six weeks. It includes significant movement on all four of our core demands! Members will now vote on whether or not to ratify the TA.

BREAKING: Both Visa and Mastercard have just halted their tracking of Gun Purchases after gun lobbyists and Republicans threatened to sue them over the new measure that would certainly protect Americans.
Both companies are now letting lobbyists and Republicans stop them from implementing policies that could literally save the lives of American men, women and children.
If you are as pissed off as I am, please speak up!
AMERICA WANTS BETTER!
So Trump just wants to do Urban Renewal again, a program which gutted the urban fabric of our cities, segregated them along racial and economic lines, and replaced tons of housing stock with freeways and surface parking lots. Wonderful.
People have to understand that shit like this happens because Private Railroad companies own and operate basically all of the rail infrastructure in North America and they do not give a shit about maintenance and infrastructure upkeep.
Shame on @Walgreens for caving to the @GOP ‘s war on reproductive rights by refusing to sell abortion pills. This is not just in red states but any state that happens to have a Republican AG that threatens them. They will continue to come for your rights, they won’t stop here.
