Add student activists, immigrants, trans people. And don't forget, the registries for autistic people and Jews. And camps for people with disabilities, depression, anxiety, and autism.
Honestly, we're already nearing the end of Pastor Niemoller's poem w/almost no resistance. If people wait much longer, their won't be enough people left for a General Strike to make any difference.
No one is Free until we ALL are Free!
For a World without Bosses, Landlords, Priests or Kings!
Today in Labor History April 27, 1825: The first strike for the 10-hour workday was started by carpenters in Boston. At the time, employers often forced people to work over fourteen hours a day. Boston workers struck again in 1827. Both strikes were unsuccessful. However, in 1835, they struck again for the 10-hour workday. This time, they organized a travelling committee to expand the movement. Influenced by their comrades in Philadelphia, Irish workers on the Schuylkill River coal wharves, joined the strike. They threatened to kill anyone who crossed their lines and attempted to unload coal. These actions led to the 1835 Philadelphia General Strike, the first General Strike in America. 20,000 workers participated. And it spread quickly to other cities. By the end of 1835, the 10-hour workday had become the norm in most major U.S. cities.

They have in common ascending an ever-thinning tree, until it bends and breaks after which gravity takes over.
Aside from the transactional allies whose heads are stepped on and fall earlier, unfortunately there is always a large crowd of bystanders down below, getting hammered by wreckage. That's us.
Best stop him before potential energy of his fall grows and becomes kinetic.
Get out on the streets. Deny services.
Keep the pressure on. #Protest #Boycott #GeneralStrike #TeslaTakedown
Sure, boycotting is fine.
But I mean a #GeneralStrike. Shut down businesses so they can't make money.
Sure, protest. But real action require a #GeneralStrike
Only stopping the money making machine will show who really has the power.
Shut it down.
While it can still be shut down.

That's all we've ever been allowed to teach. And the repression started well before Trump was elected.
Good luck teaching anything even remotely supportive of the Arab or Muslim experience. Forget anything that even mentions the word Palestine. And that's in the "liberal" San Francisco Bay Area.
There are already other places in the U.S., like Florida, where you can be fired simply for saying the word "Gay."
And who remembers hearing anything in school about Marx, socialism, anarchism, that wasn't completely negative? Anything about MLK's support of labor unions and opposition to the Vietnam War? General Strikes? The Tulsa pogrom? The Battle of Blair Mountain or the Great Train Strike of 1877 (the 2 largest insurrections and 2 largest labor uprisings in the U.S. since the Civil War)???
Dozens of books banned from school libraries and from the curriculum.
80 years ago today the people of Milan and Turin helped liberate themselves and crush the fascist Mussolini with a spontaneous General Strike. They shut it down, and liberation was declared. Strikes WORK when we DON'T WORK.
There's 338k of us so far. Sign the Strike Card
Seriously, #GeneralStrike
Sign the strike card. Money is all that matters to these assholes. We can do this!
I admit, i didn't call this in particular. I figured he'd go after some others first. But doing it at, yeah. And it's going to get worse until we are able to stop it. Money is the only way
We do not #GeneralStrike to win back "business as usual".
Our costs will be high. We general strike to fix all that is broken, for the people.
Would a general strike include not paying Federal taxes?
They may have shot themselves in the dick when they destroyed the IRS.
This is -exactly- what we need.
Benevolently grind the system to a halt for a moment of serious contemplation.
[Done, and thanks.]
Re "but it will never change for the better"
Hmm. So we don't try??
Yes, many govts are owned by oligarchs & do what they're told.
However, it is up to we the people to get out on the streets, etc. to change that!
Why are we putting up with all the BS happening in #America ? Let’s shut it all down. #USA #NationalStrike #GeneralStrike #Politics #Strike #Fukital #Boycott #Consumer #Labor #Organize #Activism fook a #WatchList
I think we should be very suspicious of the #memes and posts calling for #blackfolks to "rest" to not showup and showout at #protests. We know that #divideandconquer is the oldest trick in the #oppressor playbook. #blacklivesmatter #BlackMastodon #TrumpLiesMatter #GeneralStrike
