No buy 2025-General Strike 2025. Only buy the necessities. Boycott corporations… bug the hell out of the senate, protest. #resist #letsgrow #fuckautogenocide
Thank you (kind of) for the alt text summary. If you’re not able to included the whole thing most useful to include would be a URL where a person with a screen reader can find a pdf of the document. Or a web page.
I thought that the general protests were happening at noon your local time (your town square, your state capital, etc) it wouldn't matter what time zone you're in. FEB 17, "Presidents Day"
You’re right, on Feb 5, I got to my state capitol at about 11:30 and hundreds were there already, so I’m assuming 11 is just a logistical thing so people get on time
You don’t need to sign anything to protest or strike. Any organizers don’t need you to sign anything to set a date. They want your info to fundraise from you. We’re also in a place where the Musk administration would seize the data and use it against you. Proceed accordingly.
STOP touting Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowsky as potential flip votes. They have acted on the fence for decades yet ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN. STOP IT! Shame all Republicans!
Resist every diktat they hand down. MAKE IT HARD FOR THEM. Impede at every opportunity. Create opportunity to impede. Mass action will destroy their efforts. There's more of you than there are of them.
According to my search it's when a government kills a lot of their own citizens.
Is there any kind of genocide that's ok? Asking because I wonder why it's not just end genocide.
Possibly because it hits better with the kind of person "First they came for--" was written for, to be reminded that the genocide being set up here would kill a lot of people indiscriminately, not just some other people who aren't them?
Not sure splitting hairs in that regard is productive. Autogenocide in this context would be people (trump admin) mass killing others (us) within their own society vs the targeted killing of one specific minority. It’s the same thing, two different contexts.
He said: "I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn, I'm gonna bury it six feet underground"
At last, you can tell me something worth fighting for!

I'm keeping an eye on how Curtis (R-Utah) votes over the next few months. He's new to the Senate and has signaled that he won't be in lockstep with Donnie. He might be a more Romney-style Republican--emphasis here on *might*. Lee, ofc, is a lost cause.
Here's hoping. All it takes is one to break ranks, and others may follow. There's this dumb thing in human psychology where people don't like being the 'first' to do something considered unpopular, dangerous or so forth.
So if he does it? He's got my support. Hoping he holds.
Thank you for serving people in their time of need! Can you boycott mega corporations? You can also “strike” by not making any purchases on strike days. 💕
I am making calls to Congress but what if a large number of people from blue sky each donated $100 to the 3 congressional races that are coming--and this outspend the GOP? Use our numbers. $100 x 1,000,000 ...?
People keep responding, “there is no Constitutional mechanism for that”, “but Hegseth”, “the Military is maga”. I say extra-Constitutional actions require extra-Constitutional responses. Mutiny coordinated by the Generals.
Ah, but my dear Lee. It isn't extra-constitutional. What you describe is exactly what is outlined by title 18 chapter 115 section 2381, 2384, and 2382. It's literally unlawful to NOT do exactly what you state.
Anyone owing allegiance can do this. Doesn't have to military.
Maybe y'all should, idk, hack something & expose some people already? We've been waiting for y'all to do it for over a decade. For a legion, y'all don't seem to do a lot.
I personally think that if we all stood up and confronted them they would flee the country. They are so fake and so weak. Their confidence is only financial. I say kick them out and freeze their assets. We ain't playing no more.
Just don't misuse fireworks like Seattle did. They are great fired in the air properly during protest. THEY SHOULD NOT BE AIMED AT BUILDINGS NOR ANYTHING LIVING. Well, unless the living thing is an outer space alien who wants to eat you. 👽🛸
So sorry. The home I bought was at one time caught on fire from fireworks. The ceiling in one of the bedrooms, which used to be an attic, has some signs of where it was fixed.
It’s funny how we honor our military members but also think they would shoot us dead if a convicted felon rapist traitor declared martial law and ordered them to. I am not so sure that’s true.
Cool! I’ll go on strike as long as needed. There’s only one problem:
Who is going to be paying my living expenses in the meantime? And would there be assistance in finding a job within my niche field that pays at least what I make now?
The whole point of a strike is that we’re willing to be uncomfortable for them to get uncomfortable. You do what you can to set yourself up to strike. You strike however you are able. You do it as long as you can. As a minister, have you studied social justice movements that utilize strikes?
Most working people don’t strike because it’s easy, or because someone is subsidizing their expenses for them. They strike even if it’s painful. If you can’t do it, find other ways to support.
That said, I think supporting small businesses is important--especially if they're run by folks from groups this administration is trying to crush. A lot of us are sole proprietors and are gonna get slammed *hard* by this administration.
Hope you're working with Unions behind the scenes to get this organized because signing a "promise to strike" on a website does not a general strike make.
Comments
Ive fixed them on attached (ive tested em, and can confirm that these below work for both)...
I am going to help in anyway I can, and withholding purchases is the easiest way for me I suppose.
Can I buy from Temu on select days?
until their K-martization or the end of time. Whichever comes first.
End autogenocide
End oligarchy

Please note I would use an alias, & alt app phone number for safety —
This information is held & nothing really starts happening until they have 6 million strike cards, then at 11 million the strike actually happens.

Romney definitely surprised me a lot, as did Murkowski sometimes.
This is a good one to share with friends and family
You can engage in account cancellations, commerce strikes, debt strikes, investment strikes, boycotts, call campaigns, and much more.
Striking doesn't only mean not going to work.
U.S. Capitol Switchboard:

Call. Call again. Ask a friend to call. Get LOUD!
WE outnumber THEM, and they know it.

Tag your reps, senators, and local leaders!
I think the military is allowing the civilians time to try and sort it out before before stepping in.
Remember, out of all eligible voters only 31% signed their name to trump. Out of ALL Americans only 22%.
I bet the number has fallen...
Anyone owing allegiance can do this. Doesn't have to military.
aim to misbehave.
lots of ways to misbehave that don't involve violence.
and let's be real here.
if they intend to bring violence against us, how we behave won't matter. they'll come up with an excuse.
Hate fireworks
i wish i was confident they won't. i assume a lot wouldn't shoot. it's the ones who would shoot that concern me.
i am being bled white. i have zero fucks left to give.
if normal means no change to SCOTUS, not thanks.
if normal means techbros get away with this, no thanks.
Kendrick showed us: we are free.
We are 300 millions. We are the super balls.
Trump ran before halftime.
He is afraid of us.
The government is afraid of us.
It’s our country. We paid for it.
There are 300 millions of us.
I wanna make a move:
Out with the rats.
Who is going to be paying my living expenses in the meantime? And would there be assistance in finding a job within my niche field that pays at least what I make now?
Money IS our voice.
Thank you for these solid peaceful acts of defiance.
I will join in a strike as best I can at my age and condition, but I won't sign an online petition and give out my data
