I appreciate the unions who promised to fight back against Trump’s attack on workers, but we need concrete plans. What does “fighting back” mean here?
Lawsuits don’t work. Protests only go so far. A general strike would require an enormous amount of organizing.
What are we gonna DO to stop this?

It requires a lot of bravery, but it will be easier to start now than to try to start later.

In addition, we can coerce with a National Tax Strike and a National Bank Run (since they can arbitrarily assign debt and are willing).
Also: strikes aren't some fun potluck situation! Even the best planned ones are *incredibly* risky and tedious!
Sign it if you actually care about labor and human rights.

Okay. Then I guess trying is out the window.
Even if it's not well-thought out, it can still succeed if the numbers get there.
Again. Even if something starts out incorrectly planned, when it gains momentum, things can shift fast.
Right now, no one believes the numbers supporting a Gen Strike are there. We can at least prove that wrong.
I suspect that any solution will take decades and so the thing to do now is start normalizing much more aggressive steps.
I mean, look - taxes are the price we pay for public services, right? But this admin is reducing/eliminating EVERY SINGLE ONE. If they're running us like a business, I'm not paying.
We need a coalition of powerful people to promote a real action, and most of them are pretty quiet right now.
I’m by no means condoning violence of course, but I do think union busters and bosses need to remember what life was like before we got the NLRB and became “civilized”.
