#trump appears to WANT a violent reaction. That would give him an excuse to declare martial law. He wants to suppress all democratic voting.

Therefore, apart from government representatives doing their job properly, or maybe a military coup, general strike appears the only obvious way to resist.

THIS.
THIS.
THIS.

He wants to call a National Emergency andenact the Insurrection Act.

Then he can cancel Midterm Voting, because how can we vote when there's a national emergency?

Right out of any Fascist playbook.

At the start of the 1946 Oakland #GeneralStrike businesses closed except food stores, and bars put their jukeboxes outside for dancing in the streets (and they were only allowed to serve beer, no hard alcohol)

Fuck YES I am so here for it! Keep it up, and stay safe!

@carsten Unfortunately, the general strike might coincide with the national holiday Trump declares to celebrate him being given the Nobel peace prize.

No streaming, no youtube.

Great time to get (back?) into board games, do some baking, knitting, electronics, woodworking, visit/help neighbours.

It also deprives the Big Tech companies of the information they use/steal for surveillance and feeding their AI models.

@carsten better if this goes to a national strke

[strght@mastodon.social]

@carsten

That’s a start. Good.

A general strike for one week in all 50 states must be the aim.

Folks- get your country back!

@panmanphil @carsten It demonstrates to Trump that society will simply grind to a halt if he doesn’t change course, and to business leaders that their companies will not be able to operate normally if they don’t pressure Trump into doing so.

@carsten this seems like way to little. Organise into militias and hunt ICE
