    They also don’t care he just took a wrecking ball to part of the White House. They don’t care that he has crashed the economy or broken the government. They are coward sycophants.

      I think the demolition of the White House is particularly poetic. It also shows us what our federal government is willing to let the regime do without input from the commonwealth.

      The No Kings numbers was a warning, a bellwether. Let’s see if they’re able to pick up on what it means.

        No kings needs to triple in attendance before people take it seriously. I don’t mean that as in insult. And even then it techniqally doesn’t do anything directly. If people were serious about all this they would be boycotting American products and entertainment. That probably the realest thing that can be done without bloodshed. no more streaming, no more eating out, no more brand name clothes… Our money is bloody and it funds Americas nightmare… WE are funding all this. It is US participating. This is something people deny and until people stop denying their part nothing will ever change. Its surreal and takes effort to admit.

          The most effective non-violent action we can take is to organize a General Strike.

          The country would be brought to its knees if suddenly deprived of profit and labor. That tactic was extremely effective in Chile in 2019, and had they not fallen for the trick of liberal reform, they would’ve had a successful revolution on their hands with virtually no bloodshed.

          If you aren’t in a union (or even if you are, it’s worth dual-carding), please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you’ll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we manage to enact one.

          And for our international friends, you should join one as well, as fascism is gaining momentum globally. If your country isn’t listed below, just contact the IWW directly in the link above.
