Centrists are amazing because they'll constantly say we have to shift right in order to win, and then blame leftists for how far right we've shifted.

"I'm neutral in respect to unions"
– someone who is against unions.
"I don't think we should talk about race"
– someone who is racist.
"I'm not political"
– someone whose politics aligns with the current ruling class.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

"Capitalism will always be racist and sexist, because it has to mystify its core contradiction - the promise of prosperity vs the reality of widespread poverty - by denigrating the 'nature' of those it exploits: colonial subjects, women and the dispossessed."

-Silvia Federici

[The Baffler @thebafflermag]

Even if we tackle climate change—an enormous undertaking in and of itself—there are still plenty of other drivers of the current mass extinction.

Anybody framing climate change issues from a "personal responsibility" perspective can fuck off to the moon. 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. This is an issue that can *only* be tackled with systemic reform.

Yeah sex is cool but can you imagine actually retiring?

This #LaborDay, thank unions for:

-weekends
-8-hour workdays
-a minimum wage
-paid overtime
-breaks during work
-the right to strike
-child labor laws
-workplace safety standards

The labor movement taught us that when people stand together, they don’t have to beg. They can win.

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

May Day- May 1st- started with and celebrates the hard fight in the US to win the 8 hour day.

Due to this, it's an official holiday celebrated by workers in almost every country except the US and symbolizes working class solidarity across borders.

It's the actual labor day.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

When workers try to unionize, what do private employers do?

➡️ 75% hire consultants to run anti-union campaigns
➡️ 63% force employees to hear anti-union propaganda
➡️ 54% threaten workers

We are going to end the attacks on workers' right to organize. #LaborDay

Conservatives: "these CRAZY feminists think gender is a performative social construction."
Also conservatives: "you are only a man if you wear a belt, have a firm handshake, build fires, cut things with chainsaws, and do not get manicures."

@plasmatron @kieran_hurley This joke is so good that it touched me inappropriately

[Librarianshipwreck @libshipwreck]

“The destruction of the Amazon rainforest is methodical and self-perpetuating. When all those trees burn, they release CO2 into the atmosphere, cutting down on a critical carbon sink.”

This is really really really really really really really really bad:
