So, I have a client who is charged with lying on citizenship papers who the govt. moves to have bail revoked because of evidence of material support uncovered. At hearing, they call a JTTF "expert" on MENA terrorism. A former NYC cop, on cross, I ask him 2 questions in Arabic.

2/ With him staring at me in silence, I led by saying, " so you don't speak Arabic?"After saying no, i asked when was the last time he was in the ME? Never says he. Judge says, "Step down. Application denied."

#NoKings is reporting 7 million people participating. If 7 million people took a 10 minute work break at the same moment across the country, the ruling class would lose about $5 billion. We could leverage real changes and we'd feel our power.

yeah man a general strike would hit harder than these Saturday afternoon police sanctioned demonstrations let’s get active.

This is hard work, but the answers to "what next" are quite simple: Are your neighbors in a tenant union? Are your co-workers in a labor union? Are you in a climate, socialist or democratic community organization? Can you distribute your wealth to abortion/bail/mutual aid funds?

So we’re doing general strike now, yeah?

Look, if the “No Kings” protests culminate in a general strike, I will gladly eat all of my words about it being exclusively a sheepdogging exercise. Here’s the caveat, though: the demands have to include an end to the genocide and a 🆓 Palestine

This is why I never understood the “labor organizing is white man’s theory”. All my life, general strikes have been led by militant runa women shutting down trade routes with traditional Sanjuanito song. Garment workers in Haiti. The Cochabamba Water Wars.

A general strike reminds those in charge that the country cannot function without the consent of the people. It's the only leverage people have against fascist regimes, and it attacks the wealth of the billionaires Trump controls, and those who control him. We're there.

FIRED DOJ LAWYER: “I responded up the chain of command - that’s a lie. I cannot sign my name to that.” Erez Reuveni says he was fired by Trump’s DOJ for refusing to lie that KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA was a terrorist & gang member.

The US is waging war on Venezuela. Trump authorized CIA "lethal operations" to try to overthrow President Maduro. The US military is killing innocent fishermen, not only from Venezuela, but also Colombia and Trinidad. This is international terrorism. geopoliticaleconomy.report/p/trump-cia-at…

The Financial Times admitted the goal of Trump's war on Venezuela is regime change. This isn't about "drug trafficking"; that's the new "WMD" lie. The US military & CIA want to overthrow/assassinate President Maduro. The US hopes to pillage Venezuela's oil & minerals. Link:

October 18 marks the 6-yr anniversary of Chile’s massive protests. Police shot at people’s heads, causing hundreds of eye injuries. Some of the victims found each other and began to sew their lives back together w/ music. Latest episode #StoriesOfResistance Michael Fox

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali. Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair. New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

We need money out of politics. This includes banning politicians from insider trading.

Union members were among the reportedly 100,000 protestors in New York City at Saturday's "No Kings" rallies and marches. Teachers, telecom workers, laborers, nurses, lawyers, janitors, porters, local and federal government workers, and many other union members marched... 1/2

We can't wait until 2028. General Strike, NOW.

General strike.
