White supremacists are now marching in Charleston, West Virginia. With no police in sight. I’m sure every politician in the country will release statements denouncing this.

There's a ton of police brutality right now, but there's also more and more of this: students standing their ground and refusing to be forced into silence. Thread. Indiana University

Every statement from a politician calling the Columbia protesters antisemitic doesn't provide evidence. They don't even try. Thread. John Fetterman. No evidence at all, of course.

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.

Maybe the biggest and clearest sign of real change is that more new workers joined unions in the first half of 2023 than we’ve seen in over 20 years.

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.

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.

She’s been steadily moving right for a while now. Following the money like so many others before her. If you really want to be in the left my suggestion is to not make your income reliant solely or primarily on your podcast or streaming show or whatever. In a few cases people do that and remain principled, but we all know the money isn’t on the real left, so this keeps happening.

Today, the President of France said he’s going to force through a raise of the retirement age without a vote.

Tonight, Paris looks like this. Not to be a broken record, but these events aren't spontaneous. French workers are organized into unions, and their unions are militant. Some are on strike now, and many have held protests and strikes with over a million on strike in a day. They seem ready to fight.

Oh no not that… not the point of no return Headline; NYPD cops resigning in new year at record-breaking With so many cops leaving it only makes sense to cut their budget, because payroll has clearly gone down.

Check out @nycdsarjwg and join the fight to defund the NYPD (to match their decrease in officers)

Stand in the way of cops getting their way in this country and you'll see the fascism jump out. Atlanta police are mad that people oppose tens of millions going to destroy a forest and build a mock city to practice repression, so the law is out the window. And politicians go along with it

Solidarity with @defendATLforest, @CommunityMvt, and @ATLSolFund (donate if you can!)

Two days ago the NYPD's violent SRG unit skipped a city council hearing about its conduct. Today the unit, which is theoretically for counter-terrorism, is escorting fascists to go harass an abortion clinic and arresting people who are trying to defend the clinic. Please go support @nycforabortion. They’ll need it in multiple ways today.

Elon Musk resorting to telling people to either pay him $8 or your account will no longer be secure is why people call him a creative genius. I’m sure no one else has ever thought of the “pay for protection” model Generally the idea he keeps pursuing that he’ll convert a free website to an $8 subscription website is just bad business. But I guess it’s tough for him when he can’t get billions in subsidies for this company
