To add, if Obama’s FBI had done more when they interviewed one of Epstein’s victims back in 2011, then Trump would’ve never been president. Feds knew about all that shit since W in the oughts, and they let it keep happening. Not saying it’s entirely Obama’s fault, by why didn’t his FBI or DOJ do something?

Democrats trying to guilt us into voting for them when they do everything within their power to perpetuate American imperialism. Personally, I’m done with it. I’m not going to compromise my own beliefs again for a bunch of liberal Zionist capitalists that profit off the misery of others. If they run actual leftists, I will vote for those individual leftists. But I’m not voting for some anti-trans asshole just because the dems keep pushing him

Biden could have made Israel stop committing genocide with our taxes and our weapons. Biden and Obama could have reeled in the abuses happening in ICE detention. They could have worked with Congress to pass some legislation to limit executive power, tax wealth, get Roe v Wade made law. Biden could have pushed through pending immigration cases, he pardons his own ppl but not our ppl?

Btw I voted for Harris, basically straight ticket Dem, just to keep the other assholes out. But the further we get into this regime the clearer it becomes that is no a strategy that leads to meaningful change. You do what you want, but don’t tell me that I’ve gotta swallow the shitty pill they are offering

This is true of you are the only person doing it. But if it’s nationwide with high participation that becomes less likely. That’s one of the things I like about a slowdown, it’s something that can pick up steam and become more intense. Slowdowns and general strikes have been used in the past by labor organizers and I don’t think it being illegal should stop us. The shitty labor laws we have aren’t going anywhere unless labor stands up to the people who own this country

This is why I think we should do a slowdown. In a slowdown we’re still drawing paychecks, we don’t need the union funds. Political strikes and general strikes aren’t legal here at all whereas a slowdown might be a natural outgrowth of the stress we’re feeling about ice, the economy, govt pedos, etc

They should be careful throwing around words like “nationalize” or us proles will get ideas

Him and all the developers should have jail time for distribution of csam

Most Americans aren’t in unions, any action we take would be individual participation. I think most of us are angry enough about what’s happening to at least do a slowdown strike

Very true

We need to combine this with strikes and slowdown strikes. The rich now make up enough of the economy that our spending doesn’t matter as much. But our labor is something they need or the whole machine stops

Revolt or coup

law enforcement officers who don’t work at ICE or Border Patrol have a death rate 6.3 times higher than that of immigration enforcement officers.” In fact, the report found, immigration agents are at no greater risk than regular people: “The chance of an ICE or Border Patrol agent being murdered in the line of duty is about one in 94,549 per year, about 5.5 times less likely than a civilian being murdered.

Seems like immigrants are less dangerous then citizens

The crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States,” Graff writes.” Statistically speaking, “worst of the worst” seems to describe CBP and the Border Patrol as law-enforcement agencies better than it does the people they’re rounding up

And less dangerous than CBP it seems

It’s obvious that ICE/CBP aren’t about crime, they exist to enforce white nationalism

This is eugenics, parents of trans kids have faulty genes so we must be eliminated

The Texas politician said he picked them up from the detention center and brought them back to Minneapolis early Sunday.

Finally a useful politician

I am relieved this kid has been released, but I remember that there’s still over 1000 people in Dilley, and Dilley is one among many. These kids are being fed rotten food, given dirty water for baby formula, often separated from their families. With ICE committing so many crimes, how many of these kids are getting trafficked?

Or inches of rope

I agree that forming unions is super important. A slowdown might even indicate which of our coworkers would be willing to unionize. This is important because ppl working for union busting companies don’t know who at work they can trust.

It would be great if there could be coordination with the big unions going on strike while the rest of us do a slowdown. My industry (IT) is not unionized, but if we slowed down it would have a huge economic impact that would actually impact the oligarchs. It would also impede their ability to track immigrants. We could also start a slowdown next week and then the unions could join us.

I think that the demands we should have are to free every person in ICE/CBP detention and to completely disband ICE and CBP. Freeing the people in detention is one of the reasons I think we should do a slowdown ASAP. Waiting for the unions to schedule a strike means that more people are suffering, being abused/raped & being killed by ICE/CBP

They are, there is an article on it but I honestly can’t look it up without getting triggered. They are raping women too, have been reports consistently since 2007

A full strike is definitely more effective, but that doesn’t mean that a slowdown strike does not have its place. It has been used historically by the same great grandparents that went on strike as well as more recently. It can be used on its own or as a precursor to a full strike

I don’t think that we should discount the idea just because a full strike would be better. A slowdown strike could be organized next week, could expand as ppl learn about it, could be organized without waiting for people to form unions or set up mutual aid. The website you shared talks about earning trust in nonprofits for months to set up mutual aid networks. Setting up a union also takes time. People want to act now. A slowdown strike can also build worker unity

Here’s a couple of websites discussing:

It basically means we reduce output across the board. For instance, if I work in a data center, I fix 5 servers per day instead of 10. If I work in an ER, I work as usually for emergent patients, but for non-urgent patients I reduce how many I can treat per hour. It has been used previously as a precursor to a strike or as a stand alone action. In 2015, the longshoremen union had a 4 month showdown resulting in $2 billion in losses per day

We could expand the slow down outside of the workplace as well. Like we all use the self checkout slower, drive slower, eat slower at restaurants (esp national chains w/out waiters)

Didn’t the guy who put a hit it on bovino get aquitted?
