@mckra1g @_L1vY_ @mcnado Society in general, and by that I specifically mean #American society, has become so incredibly soft. My parents were kids during #WWII and they told stories about shared sacrifice and doing without for the cause. Today’s America is full of selfish pricks who probably don’t even know what the word sacrifice means. If their precious routine is the least bit disrupted, they turn into whiny babies. What do you mean the coffee shop is closed? I have an absolute right to my morning latte! But I do think this is where things need to go. Until then, shit won’t be real for way too many people, and they’ll just continue blithely going abouttheir business, oblivious to the world falling apart around them. A #GeneralStrike would be a shock to the system that is very desperately needed.
IIRC, a few months back, the French government threatened—not *did*, mind you, but just *threatened*—to raise the retirement age a couple years..and damn near the entire country rose up in a #GeneralStrike until the government relented.
I wonder how long it'll take before we get how all this works...?
Today in Labor History May 15, 1919: Workers in Winnipeg, Canada, initiated a huge general strike involving 30,000 workers. The strike lasted until June 26th, when the Winnipeg Labor Council declared the strike over. During the strike, the Mounted Police tried repeatedly to violently suppress the workers. The workers called for a six-hour workday and a five-day work week. During the strike, virtually the entire workforce halted work. Even the local cops voted for the strike. However, the strike committee asked the cops and utility workers to stay on the job to help keep basic services functioning. They set up a huge public kitchen which served food to hundreds of people each day. The Winnipeg “Free Press” called the strikers bohunks, aliens and anarchists. The called in the Royal Mounted Police and arrested dozens of people, charging some with seditious conspiracy. On Bloody Saturday, June 21, the Mounties fired into the crowd, killing one and wounding thirty others. In May and June, General Strikes broke out in 30 other Canadian cities.
“Sen Barrasso dodges multiple Qs about whether he’d support suspending habeas corpus for undocumented #immigrants in the country, ultimately saying he didn’t think the issue would come before Congress.”
GOP MOC have repeatedly given Trump carte blanche -treat him as aKING. They’re allowing him to disregard the #Constitution with respect to the #DOJ, #dueprocess, #habeascorpus, #separationofpowers…
Attend a #June14 NO KINGS rally.
A #GeneralStrike is needed.
@QasimRashid and for this reason, I can only see things continue to slide. I'm pulling together what resources I can to leave the US because I know they'll go after everyone who even thinks differently from them.
Honestly, if there isn't a #GeneralStrike by years end, the US is dead. It's shell nothing more than a dictatorship. The principles we grew up being told were American were just another lie.
paper is not going to stop this.
But a #GeneralStrike might do it, as a last peaceful strategy before violent #Revolution becomes inevitable.
I'm just so angry. Mostly, I'm angry that I can't figure out what to do. .
How is it possible we can't get 3.5% of the population to go on a #GeneralStrike ? How is this possible?
Money is the ONLY thing they'll listen to.

What we need is a #GeneralStrike to get the oligarchs to turn on Trump
Is America Pissed Off Enough at Trump & Musk for a General Strike?
YES

"The US hasn’t seen such a massive labor action in 78 years. But the oligarchic wreckage of this admin is fueling multiple movements toward that goal."

At this point, we need to aim all possible resistance strategies at these tyrants. Apart from the obvious -- protests & striikes, eg - there are hundreds of suggestions online. Eg:

Marco Rubio all but admits, that Republicans are a RW extremist, autocratic political party, as he admonishes the German Foreign Office for labeling the AfD as an RW extremist party & standing for the Constitution, the rule of law, democracy, & protecting immigrants' rights.
"Border agents posted at Tucson maternity ward to quickly deport migrant mom."
The womanwill be given the choice of whether she wants to take her newborn, a US citizen born Wed, with her when she is deported.
But #DHS officers, who're posted outside the woman's Tucson MED CEN hospital room, arerefusing to let the new mother speak to a lawyer, as she's requested.
The #TrumpRegime is heartless & depraved.
