Faceless. Many of the "partner" orgs have copy from 2023. A general strike is potentially useful tool in the US but the sketchiness factor here is high.

- alephnerd 2y agoIt started off as a general strike in opposition to US support of Israel during the Israel-Hamas War. Their social media aspect (at least their IG) is definetly sketchy, because a lot of it veers away from standard economic demands to only Israel-Gaza related topics. DSA and most mainstream unions do not appear to be affiliated with this either, and some of their advice around the NRLA seems wrong and could leave strikers open to dismissal for cause. I definetly think it's being partially promoted by unauthentic accounts, because it just doesn't feel organic. My hunch is probably Iran, as Iran has been instigating Israel-Gaza protests and discourse for the past 1-2 years now [0] in retaliation for the 2022-23 Iranian protests.
