33 Days Until The Largest General Strike In History

Last night I got attacked by a bat. And standing in my driveway at 10 o'clock, I had to make the decision millions of Americans make every day: risk dying or go into debt. Rabies is nearly 100 percent fatal without treatment. The treatment can cost thousands of dollars and push someone into bankruptcy. I went to the ER. I am going to be okay. But no one in this country should have to do that math. That is the American healthcare system. That is what the One Big Beautiful Bill bought with nearly a trillion dollars in Medicaid cuts. Then today, Palm Sunday, Pope Leo XIV stood in St. Peter's Square before tens of thousands of people and told every politician using God to justify the Iran war that God is not listening to them. He said it directly: he does not hear the prayers of those with blood on their hands. Pete Hegseth prayed for overwhelming violence at the Pentagon. The Pope just answered that prayer. Meanwhile, Republican canvassers are being chased off porches by their own voters, oil has blown past 100 dollars a barrel, and an anonymous House Republican told Politico that ground troops in Iran could cost the GOP 60 to 70 seats in November. The No Kings movement just made history with the largest single protest in American history on March 28th. And the next step is already announced: a nationwide general strike on May 1st. No work, no school, no shopping. 33 days away. Stay lit.
