All I see out there are gay rights, trans rights, whatever parades.
And people actually show up. like wth. given that it’s 5% population max.
Where are the worker rights parades?
US workers are 80% of the population (sans elderly, kids and disabled).
Why is noone doing it? Why is noone organizing Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear”?
Why does US east coastline still owned by billionaires and we have to ask permission to walk on that sand?
Where is healthcare for all?
Where are bike lines?
Why dont we nationalize and own the oil fields in US?
Where are mandatory 1 month vacations? (even fucking China has them). ?
Lots of people would march for those demands.
Wt guys? just fucking why?

The fascists already went for the communists and won, and took out the unions too. Now they’re going for the trans people. You have to put a strong effort on defence if you want to get to a position where people can afford to go on offence. You won’t gain ground by giving it up.
It’s such a haunting poem. It is engraved into a monument in my childhood hometown.
