 Elon Musk is boosting the German far-right.

He’s supporting pages that say migration means white suicide.

Musk scapegoats queer people, Jews, and immigrants daily. It’s time for advertisers to defund this fascist.

 It looks like Elon Musk’s fascist and antisemitic turn was premeditated.

He’s scapegoating immigrants, Jews, queer people and more while billionaire like him present by far the greatest danger to the rest of us.

It’s time to fight back.

 Teamsters refusing to ship cars during this UAW strike.

Hollywood strikers joining Amazon workers picketing their warehouses.

Thousands of people signing strike pledges, joining the picket line, and donating to strike funds.

Solidarity is a verb.

 It’s just so funny that there are bootlickers out there saying “so these aUto WoRkerS want to work just four days a week?? For the same pay!?!”

Yeah man. We all do. Please grow up and realize most people don’t want to spend their lives at work. 
 This UAW strike is vital for so many reasons.

But the biggest, to me, is that this is unabashed class war.

They’re openly fighting for the whole working class. And we need to be a part of this fight.

 The autoworkers strike is huge for so many reasons.

But number one is they're open about this being class war. UAW knows that the class war has been the ruling class relentlessly attacking the working class for too long.

And now they're fighting back.

 Some people will tell you it's "too radical" or "too extreme" to say capitalism relies on hurting workers.

But what about when a millionaire CEO says it?

That's exactly what Tim Gurner said when he advocated for more unemployment and more economic pain.
