Seattle General Strike (1919): workers didn’t just walk out, they organized. A strike committee coordinated essentials, meals, and milk for babies. Solidarity became infrastructure, and it held. Read more here: www.instagram.com/p/DUeKV_9Ehi...

This month we are reading Principles of Communism by Friedrich Engels. It is a short and direct Q&A, so it actually explains what communists meant in plain language. Great for cutting through scary myths. www.instagram.com/p/DUO6UWjEru...

On this day in 1919, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were murdered by the Freikorps as Germany’s revolution was crushed for daring to imagine a Germany run by the workers, not the capitalists. The revolution was, is, and shall be!

Rosa Luxemburg’s revolutionary socialism
One of the greatest figures in the history of the socialist movement was murdered by a far-right death squad 100 years ago today.

Today is Haitian Independence Day. Over 220 years ago today, Haiti declared independence in the first slave revolt to found a nation. Why it terrified empires:

Today is Earth Day, which is the perfect time to remind ourselves that we are merely guests here. The fascists believe that the earth is nothing but a resource for the wealthy to plunder and destroy, that it was given to us for our dominion. They are wrong. We must fight to protect our home.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

1. On Wednesday, Massachusetts House Democrats passed a bill that could ban transgender people from sports - the first blue state to pass such a measure through a chamber. They used a procedural motion to shield vulnerable Democrats from taking a vote. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Democrats used a procedural motion to water the sports ban down rather than kill it outright out of fear of taking a vote and putting members on record.

Today, we celebrate the work of women across the world throughout history in their efforts in fighting for rights for all workers. Looking to get involved with TNSRA? Follow the link in our bio to join up!
CELEBRATING
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAYThe Origins (1908-1910)
In 1908, 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding better pay, shorter hours, and voting rights. Inspired by these protests,
German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed an International Women's Day at the
1910 Socialist Women's Conference in Copenhagen. The goal? A global day for working-class women to organize and fight for their rights.The First Official IWD (1911)
On March 19, 1911, more than a million people across Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland took to the streets for the first-ever International Women's Day. They fought for workers' rights, suffrage, and an end to gender oppression - setting the stage for decades of activism.Women, War & Revolution (1917)
On March 8, 1917, women workers in Petrograd, Russia went on strike against war, food shortages, and brutal working conditions. Their uprising led to the abdication of the Tsar and the Russian Revolution. The Soviet Union later made March 8 an official holiday, cementing it as a day of radical change.

Your First Firearms: A Guide 🧵
If you've looked around our account, you may have found a comic covering how to purchase a firearm through an FFL.
But, with a multitude of options to choose from, it's not always easy for someone newer to firearms to work out what should be considered as quality options for their given use case.For those looking to make their first firearm purchase, we generally recommend to prioritize acquiring a concealed carry pistol first for every day self defense. After that, we generally recommend prioritzing the acquistion of either a rifle for home defense purposes, or a full-size duty pistol if a rifle cannot serve your needs. But this still begs the question of what brand or model to get?As a first purchase for concealed carry, we point new shooters towards the Glock 19. The model is widely accessable, has proven itself as reliable over it's lifespan, has a wide array of aftermarket support for critical supplimental accessories (holsters, magazines and weapon mounted lights), and is easy for a new shooter to both get accustomed to and maintain.For the new shooter looking for a rifle option, we recommend acquiring an AR-15. There is no shortage of brands that will work within a given budget, and the modularity of the platform allows users to upgrade as desired over time. We recommend a new shooter keep it simple, and go with a 16 inch, free-floating barrel option, with either a mid length or carbine length gas system, and either picatinny or m-lok rails.
These configurations will help ensure support for accessories, such as a mounted light (vital for home defense - remember, one of the rules of firearm safety is being able to identify your target and what is beyond it), an optic, a sling, and offer a reliable shooting experience.
