You'd have to be a complete imbecile to think Republicans or conservatives would ever benefit your union. Like checks notes Trump voters.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

We need an app to organize wildcat strikes without leaders. Ditching work isn't a crime and they're taking away our protections anyways.
This, bittorrent but encrypted for organizing. Be part of the Swarm.
I think that you're thinking i2p torrent. It's not necessarily encrypted, but it's extremely difficult to trace.
(I've never managed to make i2p work for some reason. I assume I'm fucking up somewhere, but I don't know where.)
The leadership probably knows; I wonder if all those in the trenches (that supported donvict, because "manliness" or whatever) do.
Faces meet leopards.
Go ahead, make us slaves. All of us. You spent the better half of the last decade turning the rubes rabid. Your own fostered hate will consume you.
when the rubes went maga, the urbanites became blue-maga and both combined unwittingly walked us towards this this oligarchical descent and will walk us further into it 2026 and/or 2028.
place blame where it's due: on americans who refuse to learn that this is the natural progression of all capitalists systems and that it takes true collective action to prevent it; not people who "don't like politics" nor simply donations/votes to a party.
blue-maga
Not a thing
Democrats are rubes, too. Anyone who couldn't guess where Citizens United would take us is a rube. This country is built on the backs of rubes who thought they were guiding billionaire cock toward the hole they wanted it to fuck.
The labor board is the compromise position, the alternative is the Haymarket affair.
Workers can cooperate whether they officially have a union or not.
"Pay us the raise you know we due or you can replace all of us".
The latter is what actually happened to air traffic controllers under Reagan. Reagan saw all of the strikers fired, and used military (?) ATCs until the airports hired new ones. I would not be surprised if the same tactics were used to break any strike by 'essential' workers. Longshoreman strike? Fire 'em all, use active-duty military to replace them, the hire new, lower-paid ones, and automate (longshoremen unions are threatening to strike over attempts to automate large parts of their job).
