To add, if Obama's FBI had done more when they interviewed one of Epstein's victims back in 2011, then Trump would've never been president. Feds knew about all that shit since W in the oughts, and they let it keep happening. Not saying it's entirely Obama's fault, by why didn't his FBI or DOJ do something?

Democrats trying to guilt us into voting for them when they do everything within their power to perpetuate American imperialism. Personally, I'm done with it. I'm not going to compromise my own beliefs again for a bunch of liberal Zionist capitalists that profit off the misery of others. If they run actual leftists, I will vote for those individual leftists. But I'm not voting for some anti-trans asshole just because the dems keep pushing him

Biden could have made Israel stop committing genocide with our taxes and our weapons. Biden and Obama could have reeled in the abuses happening in ICE detention. They could have worked with Congress to pass some legislation to limit executive power, tax wealth, get Roe v Wade made law. Biden could have pushed through pending immigration cases, he pardons his own ppl but not our ppl?

Btw I voted for Harris, basically straight ticket Dem, just to keep the other assholes out. But the further we get into this regime the clearer it becomes that is no a strategy that leads to meaningful change. You do what you want, but don't tell me that I've gotta swallow the shitty pill they are offering

This is true of you are the only person doing it. But if it's nationwide with high participation that becomes less likely. That's one of the things I like about a slowdown, it's something that can pick up steam and become more intense. Slowdowns and general strikes have been used in the past by labor organizers and I don't think it being illegal should stop us. The shitty labor laws we have aren't going anywhere unless labor stands up to the people who own this country

This is why I think we should do a slowdown. In a slowdown we're still drawing paychecks, we don't need the union funds. Political strikes and general strikes aren't legal here at all whereas a slowdown might be a natural outgrowth of the stress we're feeling about ice, the economy, govt pedos, etc

They should be careful throwing around words like "nationalize" or us proles will get ideas

Most Americans aren't in unions, any action we take would be individual participation. I think most of us are angry enough about what's happening to at least do a slowdown strike

We need to combine this with strikes and slowdown strikes. The rich now make up enough of the economy that our spending doesn't matter as much. But our labor is something they need or the whole machine stops

Revolt or coup

law enforcement officers who don’t work at ICE or Border Patrol have a death rate 6.3 times higher than that of immigration enforcement officers.” In fact, the report found, immigration agents are at no greater risk than regular people: “The chance of an ICE or Border Patrol agent being murdered in the line of duty is about one in 94,549 per year, about 5.5 times less likely than a civilian being murdered.

Seems like immigrants are less dangerous then citizens

The crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States,” Graff writes.” Statistically speaking, “worst of the worst” seems to describe CBP and the Border Patrol as law-enforcement agencies better than it does the people they’re rounding up

And less dangerous than CBP it seems

It's obvious that ICE/CBP aren't about crime, they exist to enforce white nationalism

This is eugenics, parents of trans kids have faulty genes so we must be eliminated

 

I've been thinking about these 1 day strikes and no shopping days we've been having. The economic blackouts seem to not have much effect, I've seen it compared to a day of bad weather like we recently had with the snow and ice. Likewise, the 1 day strikes aren't achieving an actual loss of revenue that is enough to lead to change. Most Americans can't go on strike long-term as we live paycheck to paycheck, we don't have savings and we don't have mutual aid networks in place. Perhaps doing a nationwide slowdown would be more effective as we would actually be decreasing profits for the rich. It is something that could pick up steam instead of fizzle out. We can combine this with very clear demands instead of a general I don't like this admin vibe

 

Found this set of first aid manuals for protesters. There is a book as well as a street medic one-page and a field guide. Field guide comes in English and Spanish

"Riot Medicine is a full-length textbook that covers everything you need to become a medic. The 486 pages include organizing, medcine, equipment, and tactics. It is written for those with no medical training and no experience at protests, but medical practitioners and seasoned protesters will still find it useful."
