Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

If you want to see a resurgent left in America, please strike down the NLRB. Take away the one avenue of redress that labor still has.

It won’t happen that day. It won’t happen that year. But that decision will lead to blood on the streets.

As MLK taught, riots are the inevitable result of voices going unheard.

I think it might happen quicker and I hope it does. Modern communications allow for the whole country to hear what Shawn Fain's shirt sais shortly after he steps outside. And the police has grown out of the custom to shoot striking or protesting workers.

I mean, it's not like they aren't itching to start again.

Fain should run for president in 2028.

Establishment is going to run Hillary again. Even if Biden wins 2024 he isn't going to accomplish anything that's going to make people feel like things are heading in the right direction. The rail union contract is expiring at the end of this year meaning Biden will call to block the rail strike again in 2025. 2028 is gonna be a mess.
