I wish Americans would realize that general strikes would do more in a few days than the last half century of "protest" marches combined.

I'm looking forward to hearing who on Kamala's team was responsible for muzzling Tim Walz on speaking about any issue that would actually help people and risk winning the election.

Paid sick leave just passed with 74% of the vote in the GOP stronghold of Nebraska. Just before being put on the ticket, Tim Walz said Dems' top priority should be championing paid sick leave (see video below). The Dem ticket then didn't campaign on it.

In case anyone conservative actually wants to know why nobody "wants to work anymore" or "settle down and have kids" there may be a few clues here.

Just left a conversation and my source indicated to me that a key Democratic senator is expected to change party affiliation to Republican by next week. Wow!

Anyone else feel like this is the beginning of the collapse of the United States? Because it seems like enough wheels are starting to fall out that no matter what we're going into a bad place.

38,000 expired meals airdropped into Gaza as a PR stunt to deflect from the famine of over 2 million people.

reports from Residents in the Northern Gaza Strip from Beit Lahia say that some of the food airdropped is expired.
Readers added context
The first picture clearly shows an expiration date of July 2026 on the side of the canister, meaning that, as of the date of this note, it doesn’t expire for more than two years. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar

6 incidents with Boeing planes in 10 days, but our political leaders are busy trying to ban TikTok. Complete crumbling clownshow empire.

An American Airlines Boeing 777 carrying 249 people was forced to make an emergency landing in LA tonight due to a “possible mechanical problem.” This marks the sixth safety incident involving a Boeing aircraft reported in the past 10 days.

Holy shit. A Democratic mayor of a major city is actually calling for a General Strike instead of going back brunch. Based. Overdue, but very based.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson calls for a general strike against the “tyranny” of Trump and the greed of the ultra-rich. An estimated 300,000 filled the streets for the “No Kings” march, powerfully rejecting the federal government’s “Operation Midway Blitz” against the city.
