The General Strike in Minnesota is gaining traction, even the pubs will be closed. Love their message...

Please participate country wide, of you can. Minimize all economic activity, no shopping, no work.

flyer in a rough black and white drawing style featuring a cat pouncing on an ICE agent trying (failing) to crawl away. the cat's back has the words "GENERAL STRIKE!" written on it. the cat has a speech bubble that says "get the fuck out!".   the cat's eye is the north star. surrounding the illustration are the details: "Jan 23rd Minneapolis - St. Paul. no work. no school. no shopping. make noise. do good. be good."

@carsten I don't understand, how does that help get rid of ICE?

#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.

@RichRARobi @panmanphil @carsten All the strike things. If the tragedies of Minneapolis create a critical mass of strikers in protest, it's a gift to resistance.

@panmanphil it is a warning for business leaders and politicians . Showing that people are fed up and ready to take action. The next strike will be longer.
The Target boycott caused their sales to drop about 2% and the executives took a beating.

Personally I will close my business for a week. And I do not accept government orders anymore.
