    Where is the rest of the labor mov’t? We need a general strike against racism & injustice. We need the labor mov’t to act. We don’t have time for bills that never arrive & reforms that never work. In Kenosha the racists are the police & they collaborate w the militias. Enough

        not much left. 12% public (Rauner ended public employee unions) 6% private. We're weak. In Wisconsin Walker ended unions. Literally no public employee unions in Wisconsin. Kenosha used to be a union blue town. I'm a former teacher at Milwaukee Public Schools.

        Attempts to rebuild the labor mov't have been met with crushing hostility from Wall Street and other big money interests. We needed to accelerate the rebuilding with a president like Bernie, now we must turn to unseating corporate Dems -> progressives pushing legislative change

        Unions not siding w/ civil rights movement was a huge loss for both Black people and workers as a whole. Racism has been used to weaken Labor/unions for a century; we have to learn from history and do it differently this time, all our futures depend on it.https://youtu.be/MWGH1gKBUrM
