What naysayers don’t get about ‘No Kings,’ the biggest protest in U.S. history
leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January
It’s a start, but a general strike should be the goal!
May 1st has been announced.
I didn’t wake up today with the intention of being a downer, but the odds of a general strike happening are vanishingly small.
Just not gonna happen.
Americans simply don’t have that kind of solidarity or the breathing room to go without a paycheck or lose their jobs.
It’s the fastest and least violent way to bring this treasonous government to its knees, but I don’t see it happening. I’m not even aware of any historical examples of a general strike on a large scale anywhere.
will you strike on May 1?
