workers at the pittsburgh post gazette have been on strike for a frickin' minute now and i only just found out they are still producing stories here.
read this crazy one about how these two activists were raided by the fbi and one will be spending a minimum 10 years in jail for throwing 1 firework and 2 smoke bombs (also firework?) during a protest at pitt against guest speakers from the daily wire promoting anti-trans regulations in government https://www.unionprogress.com/2023/07/01/regent-square-couple-indicted-on-conspiracy-charges-involving-protest-at-pitt-transgender-debate/
i'm sure they'll have some lighter fare about the fish fries or whatever soon.

alamo drafthouse illegally laid off 70 NYC workers in the middle of first contract negotiations, so they are striking. don’t cross the picket line!!!
how to support them (from their statement):
• Do not go to the Alamo Brooklyn or Manhattan. (Feel free to go to Staten Island if you can and tip generously! Or go to Nitehawk! The Prospect Park location is unionized with the same local as us, UAW 2179! I was at some of their organizing meetings!)
• Cancel your season pass, and tell them exactly why.
• Donate to our two gofundmes and share them (or just share if you cant donate.)

🚨
If any of you are attending a protest this weekend here are some things you should be aware of/safety tips -
• Saline works better than water/milk for tear gas
• You should be hydrating the day before and during the march
• Bring goggles (with no ventilation) and a face mask
• IF YOU ARE IN TEXAS - remember that we are in a red state and there are a lot of people who carry and support ICE, so be mindful of your surroundings and keep it peaceful !
— also be aware that our governor is an asshat who wants us to act out and get arrested to prove a point
• If you are undocumented, it may be best to stay home
• Carry American flags as well as Mexican/Palestinian
• Do not park too close to the site
• Leave your phone at home if at all possible - write emergency contacts on your arm
• Bring something to cover up tattoos/identifiable marks
• Bring a buddy and discuss a quick exit plan if necessary; also discuss a meet up spot if you get separated
• WATCH YOUR DISTANCE - as you’ve probably seen already, law enforcement is shooting people with rubber bullets at extremely close range. The closer you are to them, the more likely they are to target you.
If you would like to attend a protest, I have added a link to the No Kings website where you can find one closest to your city. (There are an insane amount all over the US and other countries at this point)
Please stay safe and cool out there <3
