Protesters are now marching back to Brooklyn. Lots of police and corrections busses on the BK side.
Police are being advised to let protesters leave the bridge (via police scanners).

If this Labor Day feels a little different, that’s because it is.

Workers are fighting and winning in a way we haven't seen in decades.

And this could be just the beginning. Thread 🧵
1. There’s so much good news it’s hard to know where to start.

It just isn't serious when people claim to be on the left then insist on assessing each billionaire by how nice and kind they are rather than understanding their position as shapers and upholders of policy and of this oppressive capitalist system more broadly.
We can work towards a world where we treat those who currently oppose us with kindness and where we build a world of abundance, while understanding that there are very powerful people actively working to maintain the current status quo and all the violence it requires.
These are people who not only create and maintain conditions of mass poverty and death, but work to eliminate regulations, work to keep housing precarious, work to keep people hungry. They are responsible for a number of deaths and an amount of misery that is hard to calculate.

We have dramatically failed as a society when these people are comfortable showing up in public like this.
1, these beliefs should have combatted in many ways as to eradicate them over time. 2, there should be an understanding that dialogue isn’t how we deal with these guys. 3, we have greater numbers. We need to our-organize them, as I know folks are doing, but this takes all of us.
We currently live in a society with a capitalist power structure that is more comfortable with fascism and Nazism that they are with leftism, with anti-capitalism. in large part because white supremacy is very deeply intertwined with propping up our capitalism system.
