This is what progressive leadership looks like. Thank you @greenpeaceusa. #CeasefireNOW
Solidarity with student protesters! CEASEFIRE NOW! We lift up the rights of peaceful student protests for Gaza. Peaceful protest and free speech are the best tools we have to work for a green and just world. We demand a ceasefire and an end to violence against activists.

Fain: It's not a CEO that's going to save us. It's not a president that's going to save us. It's not me and it's not you. It's us. It's a united working class is how we're going to win!

Our members are helping kick off #LaborNotes2024 with a panel on free speech & Palestine: "As a union we're concerned with retaliation as a workplace justice issue, but we also understand organizing around retaliation as one way to fight back against the war machine." @olivisch

As @kamaufranklin states, the police operate as a “public army for private interest.” Their main role is “to protect private property and to do the bidding of the development class and the capitalist class.”
There is no such thing as a good cop. Cops are soldiers for capital. It don't matter if they treat their kids well, walk their dogs, or love their spouse. Because when they are given the order to attack or to hurt or to disperse a crowd, or to kill, they do it.
