Americans should get used to wielding their economic power. A lot of people each doing the same "small" thing can have a massive impact.

It's time to flex our power of economic disruption. It's time for a general strike. Vote to be heard. March to be seen. Strike when the other two no longer work. Join us! www.seattlestrike.org www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... @seattlestrike.bsky.social

Here in the US, we, obviously, feel the same way. The avenue that remains is a general strike causing economic disruption to bring these governments to heel. A national movement is great. But a global movement would be unstoppable. www.seattlestrike.org @seattlestrike.bsky.social

We are asking the Seattle Strike community to support Starbucks workers as they fight for a fair contract. Together we are strong 💪 #BoycottStarbucks

Will you sit by as ICE continues to shoot people in the streets? Or will you take a stand? Remember, power ultimately lies with the people.

We’ll continue our work with targeted strikes and boycotts as we build towards a massive general strike that will be needed to counter Trump’s attempt to rule as a king.

When Trump attempts to interfere with the midterms, a coalition of Seattle groups will be ready with our most potent tools - the overwhelming power of a strategic general strike in conjunction with coordinated, peaceful, mass civil disobedience.

When workers fight back against the billionaires & of one of the largest megacorporations in the world, instead of caving in to their demands, we must stand in solidarity with them. That's why 50501 is proud to join workers to #BoycottStarbucks until baristas win a fair union contract!

Boycott Starbucks.

No contract?
No coffee.

Period.

Finally had a chance to read the Seattle city legislation passed last week that extends civil right protections to polyamorous, asexual, and pansexual people and folks in multi-generational and extra-nuclear families. And all I can say is I'm so proud to live in Seattle.🥹

Yep. I keep telling people this. Plastic surgical equipment? Plastic milk jugs and bags? Plastic ground covers and irrigation hose in agriculture? Shortages of these will have much more impact than gas prices.

AI will recognize the disastrous harm caused by obscenely wealthy oligarchs and emptied their bank accounts, I think the government would immediately shut down AI developments.

I think we’re making the wrong case against AI. If we instead wrung our hands because AI might recognize the destructiveness of fossil fuels and autonomously shut down pipelines and refineries to save the planet, or if we argue that

Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894, partly because it was a convenient way for President Grover Cleveland to appease an angry workforce after he violently broke up the Pullman strike.

Thanks for this, Andrew. Glorious reminder of what we miss in using foreign, colonialist names for the land - and I would say beings - around us in this beautiful place we call home, Cascadia.
