I can't even begin to imagine what lasting psychological effects this is gonna have on people post trump.
The anxiety that today's kids are going to experience in the future every time a car alarm goes off, or at the honking of a horn...it's dreadful to think.
Someone in my networks was asking about a social media call they saw for a ā30 day general strikeā where people make no purchases and donāt go to work. They asked, āthis would make me homeless but is it worth it as a tactic?ā As a union organizer, I had this to say and I think itās important enough to share with you all:
As a trade unionist, I would like to know what is being meant by āgeneral strikeā here because a lot of people are using that term but for things that have nothing to do with strikes or what a general strike has historically meant.
Itās not a boycott, itās not a sick out, itās a *strike* by workers at their workplaces aka refusals to work collectively as a unionized body of workers. A general strike would require dozens of unions to not merely tell some workers they gotta work anyways and tell others to call in sick - it requires a prolonged, structured, financially supportive struggle by unionized labor.
A 30 day general strike would achieve a lot but Iām not hearing any trade unions say they are directing their members to do this (which under current labor law and many of our union contracts, would be illegal but thatās not my issue, just a barrier towards success). Iāve not heard of any strike funds put into place so workers donāt lose their housing and can afford groceries. Factually it just isnāt a strike let alone a general strike. Itās a consumer boycott meets individual sick outs and while you can do that tactic in short bursts, you canāt do it for a month without a strike fund and unions actually declaring strikes.
I fear āgeneral strikeā is becoming hallowed out of meaning by liberals. Itās a powerful tactic and that just isnāt what weāre seeing. Itās gonna leave people with a bad taste in their mouth about the prospect of an actual general strike when these fake āgeneral strikesā donāt pan out because they arenāt leveraging our power as the people who actually run society with our labor but asking individuals to call out alone or as individuals not purchase goods.
Kinda reminds me of when people tried to define āmutual aidā as giving donations to nonprofits instead of building community networks of resiliency and support outside of capitalism and its charity arms. Pretty much every time thereās a big upswing in radicalism, terms get immediately bastardized by people outside of the work to describe tactics that donāt even share the same goals. Itās a deradicalization tactic.
You canāt just say āgeneral strike!ā and then it happens. General strikes in the past have been because unionized workers across different industries solidarity strike, which since the heyday of general strikes has been made illegal so if we want to actually do that as organized labor then we have to be prepared to have no legal protections around such a strike. Thatās not the level of preparation or thought weāre seeing.
If you want to see what an actual general strike in Portland looks like, this PBS documentary on the founding of the ILWU and the 1934 Waterfront Strike which was attacked by police and vigilantes leading to the entire towns workers joining the strike, is important. These were very organized, structured affairs that didnāt rely on individualist volunteerism.
United Auto Workers declared May 1st, 2028 to be a national general strike. He (Shaun Fein) wants unions to align the end of their contracts with May Day so we are not beholden to no strike clauses. Theyāre building a strike fund. Thatās actually a plan and that gives us enough time to energize our coworkers about it.
This āgeneral strikeā stuff coming out of Minneapolis will just get you fired and because youāre not doing it with a union, youāll have zero protections and no strike fund to rely on.
Itās a bad idea. Donāt leverage your purchasing power, youāre poor. Leverage your labor, because thatās what makes them rich. And donāt do it alone, youāll suffer alone.

Learning and practicing proper security culture is essential to all kinds of organizingāespecially today, when Donald Trump has pledged to focus federal agencies on attacking anti-fascists.
Print out this zine design of our guide to security culture and distribute them everywhere!
Itās reasonable for authors to be upset about people uploading their work for free, even if those people use socialism as an excuse to do it. āWorkers deserve to be compensated for their laborā is a little different from supporting Disneyās famous exploitation of copyright law. I just donāt think itās noble to look at another person surviving by their own labor and say to them āI deserve to exploit you because the class of labor you do doesnāt count.ā
I think you just feel entitled to having stuff that you want at no cost to you, regardless of whether it harms or benefits workers as a class. Itās a little funny how every argument about class and labor and exploitation somehow ends with people concluding that theyāre free to continue to act in just the way they wanted to all along, isnāt it?

getting mad at ao3 for being against censorship and allowing all kinds of dark and fucked up fics to be on their platform is like getting mad at a library for not banning books
I need tiktokers to understand that ao3 has been home for the freaks (affectionate) ever since the day it was created. the entire site was created because ādark and fucked up ficsā were banned and removed from other platforms, so us freaks came together and created a site for other freaks ā a site where nothing is censored, a site with no algorithm, no capitalism, no ads, and again, absolutely no censorship.
this has been our house for decades. you newbies donāt come into our house and tell us how to arrange our furniture. either be nice and respect our house, or leave and build your own house elsewhere.
For anyone confused about why this "sweet ad" is actually evil:
ring is passing the surveillance they collect to ice
ring is using these ID features to search for/identify people that ice wants to deport/kidnap/disappear, & using it to spy on Americans in general.
This ad is the company's gross & sneaky attempt to appeal to humans' kindness [ I'll be helping people find their pets!" ]
They are trying to trick more people into buying this tool that will be used as surveillance on people living in the USA
AND~!!!
also probably trying to trick people into turning on features/settings that will make it easier for them to pass information to ice and other hostile governmental authorities
(this list is mainly ways non-locals can donate but by extension offers a lot of resources and places to volunteer in the Twin Cities + there are specific ways to donate time under the cut which can be adjusted to your local neighborhood)
Memorial Blood CenterĀ declared a blood emergency on Tuesday, Jan 13. MBC is the blood supplier for both tier 1 trauma hospitals in the metro area (Hennepin County Medical Center and North Memorial Health).
Reach out to your neighborsĀ āĀ especially if you know they are staying home right now āĀ and ask if they need groceries or toiletry items. Offer to pick up prescriptions, give rides, or shovel their driveway. If you know them well, bring them a treat that you know they'll enjoy. Or just ask them how they're doing and let them know you are there to support.
Connect with any of the orgs aboveĀ and see if they are looking for volunteers.
Connect with a church or mosque in your area.Ā FromĀ u/MuddieMaeSuggins: "I know a lot of regular Redditors are not religious (myself included) but like it or not this is a where a lot of community organizing happens, especially in immigrant communities."
Connect with your local school's admin office and/or their PTA.Ā It's ok to reach out even if you don't have kids at the school. PTAs are organizing mutual aid for school families, safe rides, school observers.
Find an official protestĀ or other event viaĀ Indivisible,Ā 50501,Ā FREE AMERICA, orĀ MIRAC. Students at many high schools areĀ staging walk-outs; if your local school is doing this, reach out to school leadership or the PTA and ask how you can support as a community member.
Join the effort to stop Hilton from housing ICEĀ by booking hotel rooms and then cancelling at the last minute. This action can be done from home! The effort is being organized by Sunrise Movement, who are telling activists to target specific hotels one-by-one. More info:Ā SHUT DOWN HILTON
Find people in your area who are actively monitoring ICEĀ and/or stationing themselves in high-traffic areas and ask how you can help. Check for local FB events where people are organizing and just show up.
At minimum, read theĀ COPAL HandbookĀ before you go out to observe.Ā The DFL, Monarca, and other orgs have been hosting online trainings for constitutional observers (though these fill up quickly).
When you see ICE in action, start recording. Be as loud and as disruptive as possible: honk your horn, set off your car alarm, blow your whistle. Let people know that ICE is in the area. If you see someone being detained, try to get their name and a phone number to call their emergency contact.
If you do not feel comfortable observing ICE in person, there are ways you can support from home. Just ask the people who are organizing in your area. I have social anxiety, and I had never participated in any kind of political action before this past Saturday. If I can do it, you can!
Local organizers are requesting that people who help monitor ICE DO NOT participate in 1-to-1 mutual aid efforts, as these can put the families you are helping at risk.
If you have friends/acquaintances who are sympathetic but not politically active,Ā reach out to them. Show them that they're not alone in feeling helpless. Pick a few low-commitment actions from this list and do them together.

Every time I see a picture of this 5-year-old little boy with his bunny hat and Spiderman backpack, I get so angry and my heart breaks. Incredible... simply incredibly inhuman. š¤š„ŗš”
