      That’s definitely something to work towards but a general strikes requires years of planning, organising, network building, and just fucktons of money. People still need to eat and pay rent. People will be fired and need help fighting it. The regime is likely to injure and maybe kill.

      There hasn’t been a general strike in living memory.

      A general strike takes time, it’s not something we can just do. Rushing it and fucking it up would be a huge win for the fascists.

        Those who can, stock up like you should have already for a national disaster. Maybe double.

        Then stock up again for donations to food banks and soup kitchens.

        If a general strike did happen, it would take less time than eviction proceedings for any given household.

        And they can’t fire and evict everyone. The point of a general strike is to demonstrate exactly that.

      Start with Minnesota, this Friday. Just like ICE’s invasion and occupation, start targeted and then spread.
