Thank you for covering this. I stand with Nurses!

If we don't stand together, we will all fall together.

Workers stand together. The only thing that makes sense. Support the nurses

This framing is essential and gets lost too often. The isolation tactic works because people think 'not my sector, not my problem' until it becomes thier problem. I worked adjacent to hospital admin years back, and the staffing cuts were always justified as 'efficiency gains' but really meant pushing clinical staff beyond safe limits. Whats happening with nurses today could be warehouse workers tomorrow or teachers next month. Cross-sector solidarity is the only real counter to capital that can move freely while labor stays fragmented.

"Different Job Title. Same Exploitation" Just a line item on a spread sheet and a race to see who get the biggest bonus from 'cost cutting'.

Every American should stop working. Stop buying. Shut this fucking Zionist fascism down now!!

Imagine, that for three days, no one showed up to shop, go to work, and no spending, no one on facefbook or youtube. No virtual. This means no substack, no texting, no online, no emails. The Amazons, Walmarts, Facebook, google, Samsung, Target would lose a lot, a lot of money. They'd flip out. Remember, that includes you and me: no substack, no texting, no phone calling, for three days. We gotta walk the talk.

Showing some solidarity is gonna freak them out. They will be afraid when people are united.

They have reserves for three days. It’s going to take a lot longer than that. Americans aren’t very good at getting uncomfortable. They have accepted their crumbs for decades now while Israel gets everything we’ve been fighting for. Even as they murder innocent people, all that’s ever done are protests. The leeches are only entertained by protests until they’re not.

Cost to protect— yes. Teachers need this. We are so unprotected. Across the country we should stand in solidarity.
