I think of the things that must change when the people finally cast out billionaires is a new set of laws that destroy the absolute right for people to strike at the drop of the hat.

And the laws and the contract stipulations that band sympathy, strikes or violation of the first amendment and our null and void

Sorry. We are way past "at risk"

The coup is over. The dictatorship is here. The new cultural revolution is underway. The billionaire techbros and media moguls are already on board. The Congress is already a rubber stamp. The courts are already brought to heel. The books are already removed. Due process is already gone for millions of non-citizens. And a thousand convicted brownshirts are already back in society.

Time to think "resistance". Time for a #GeneralStrike

Today in Labor History April 14, 1919: Workers in Limerick, Ireland, initiated a General Strike against the British military occupation. They ran the city as a soviet for two weeks. Workers printed their own newspaper and issued their own currency, which local businesses accepted. They also regulated food supplies to keep prices low and prevent profiteering. Numerous other soviets were created during the Irish War of Independence.

When we launch the General Strike we'll use these mutual aid networks to take care of each other. If you're involved with a project then get it on the map. If there's a project near you, get involved. If there are none then maybe start one: mutualaidhub.org/

Today in Labor History April 12, 1934: The Toledo (Ohio) Auto-Lite General Strike began on this day. Initially, 6,000 workers struck for union recognition and higher pay. In late May, there was a five-day battle between the strikers and 1,300 members of the Ohio National Guard. The militia fired on workers. They shot tear gas, which the workers threw back at them. They attacked with bayonets and the workers retaliated with bricks, injuring several soldiers. The “Battle of Toledo,” left two strikers dead and more than 200 injured. The strike lasted for two months and resulted in a win for the union. It was one of the most important labor struggles of the 20th century. During that same spring, there were also General Strikes in San Francisco and Minneapolis.
