It’s about time

Yes, 13 -15 million people walk out. Now or never.

Fantastic!!! 👍

It takes a lot of solidarity and sharing resources. If we can collectively fund the vulnerable families with no savings, we can do this.

WOW!!! I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS!!!

I wish! But this has to start with the LABOR UNIONS. Without the, it’s not gonna work.

Time for Blue States to Gerrymander the hell out of their districts, just like Texas and Georgia, and Mississippi and Florida all do

This is what we need. I’m in.

This sounds great, but the people who work in the medical fields wouldn't be able to do this as lives would be at stake. From warehouse workers that supply hospitals and pharmacies to hospitals and doctors offices.

A tiny percentage of people can't strike for various reasons, but those who can should. If you want your country back, you need drastic action; otherwise, you will lose it. Then you'll wonder why you didn't do more. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. inthesetimes.com/article/shut...

I agree wholeheartedly. I want to be out there with everyone, but hospitals need our services.

There should be help organized for people who need help: getting food, gettng care

That’s true sure but lives already are at stake. People are being attacked and kidnapped. They’ve killed political leaders. If things continue and people go business as usual then those same people are still at jeopardy. They’ve cut medical assistance from the weak. It’s only going to get worse.

I can’t abandon my patients but I can strike in other ways. I barely shop at big brand stores and am willing to completely shut that down and write the companies letters about doing so and why. I’ve already left Amazon and Target and do not miss it.

I haven't shopped target or Amazon since the first strike againt them and I don't miss them either.

I'm all in, but who is gonna organize it?

Maybe Fanone and Harry Dunn could begin a grass roots movement. I'm all in with however, and whoever can organize and make it happen. @libradunn1.bsky.social ✌️✊ how about it, Officer Dunn?

Been posting this for years: “Over 80% of purchases & purchase influences are made by women.” Food, clothing, beauty products, gardening, households, baby/child stuff, restaurants, travel, food, houses, cars, etc. Women alone could tank the economy if they organized & shut this BS down. IF only…

YES

I’m in

Just give me a date!!✊🏽🇺🇸✊🏽

He’s absolutely right. A massive strike will prove that we are not going to put up with the bullshit that’s happening

Rhe vast majority of the American people are too stupid to get on board. First half of those mentioned voted for trump then you would have to convince thenother half to do it. If lucky you would get 1% of the population to strike.

This is needed now Organize the dates and let’s do this together for us now

I agree!

TOTALLY, TOTALLY AGREE....it's the ONLY thing that can work right here, right now, that they will listen to, GUARANTEED!! We NEED to stop being afraid to do this, stop worrying and just do it, because it is the ONLY solution to making them realize how we are NOT going to accept this crap ANYMORE!

Fanone is necessary GOOD TROUBLE!

Everyone repost this!!! 🙋🏾‍♀️

A General Strike!🪧

This is what I’m talking about right here 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I'm in. 😊

This is a combination boycott and protest, if it is coordinated well and people are willing to it, so far a paltry 10 million on any given day. But yes it is doable. We need to convince people who are struggling to join. We need a consistent plan and means of supporting each others.

Cannot put this off any longer, all the excuses - they have to end now. GENERAL STRIKE.

This is why THE FOUNDERS gave us the 1st Amendment. Michael is right; time is burning. The fascists are buying up more media every week.

Yep

LFG!

I've always maintained that the ONLY thing that will make the GOP pay attention is to hit their "employers/sponsors" in their wallets. Trump would not last 5 seconds if the Bezos of the world start losing money due to their support of fascism. Running nationwide Strikes could bring this Regime down.

It takes more than words. If we stop shopping, retail workers lose income. If we stop providing healthcare, people can suffer or die. What are you doing to prepare?

Tax strike, also. How would they handle it if a 25, 30, 50% of the workers in the country all declined to withhold federal income taxes or file returns? They've gutted the IRS; they don't have the manpower to come after 30, 50, 80 million people. Fund your fascism yourselves, assholes.

YEEESSS!!!

A masked ICE agent and a Nazi running toward what to do what?

Or a citizen chasing Nazi away, from my perspective.

📌💪🏼❗️💪🏼❗️💪🏼💪🏼❗️

He is a true American

Resist need a body to organize this it’s above ME but if I had the talent a national strike all transportation sectors subways to dock workers. Call in sick! Sick of this shit!

The Bill already passed!

I agree. A billionaire led class war (and that's what it is) can't win if labor fights back.

More impactful than this would be for every Democrat to pull out of the S&P 500. That would shake corporations to their knees and get them advocating like never before

I strongly support this movement! United we stand invincible! 👏💯👍💙

Well It’s signed into law… now what?? Crickets it sounds like

This indeed. It was discussed earlier in the term, and afaik its a truly powerful tool.

Please yes

I am retired/disabled. And I have been boycotting Amazon and Target and Walmart. What can I do? I will do it!

You're doing it now!

Thank you.

I’m ready

Radicalisation of our legitimate grievances is arguably inevitable, especially when confronted by the worst excesses of The Don and his tyranny. But why escalate when a passive approach to resistence and protest has not yet been tried. Deliberately withholding our votes denies our oppressors.

I recommend readers refer to The General Strike which occurred in britain in 1926, and lasted around 9 days. Yes, a strike presents a serious challenge to the state. But, it also presents serious challenges to ordinary citizens. A passive vote strike removes the veneer of credibility.......

And without our democratic mandate, sustaining the dysfunctional status quo becomes increasingly more difficult for the political elite whose only claim to positions of power is the electorate's support. We are their Employers. They must operate in our interests. Remember that!

im in!

Who is this guy lads? I keep seeing him all over my feeds but no idea who he actually is...

He’s one of the January 6th officers who is now disabled because of it

‪saol álainn‬ @jojo3456.bsky.social

Oh wow, the poor man! Glad he's speaking out against the orange nutjob! Thanks for the info🙏🏻

you're welcome 👌🏼 Officer Fanone has since been goaded by the insurrectionist who attacked him Jan 6 (there are videos where that insurrectionist is waiting in a hotel lobby to attack the officer) Fanone stood his ground and was escorted to safety. Poor guy must be living in constant fear

Awful, I can not understand how popular that orange thing is. Thank you for the explanation. 🙏🏻

YES!!!

STRIKE

Yes, has to happen and asap, but who is organising it?

The French could probably give guidance and suggestions considering their history of general strikes.

What are the dates of the planned strike?

It would cost corporations billions. It would cripple a city, town. My only suggestion is not to encourage any profession that is responsible for lives. But even without them, it'd be enough to do some real eye opening damage. VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!💙🇺🇸❤️🇲🇽🤛🤛🤛🤛

Hey!! I said that months ago!!!

The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted over 300 days... You want change, do it like we did it!! If not, welcome to Germany 2025...

If we shut the country down for five days, they'll get the message. Or start a war they WILL LOSE.

That is a Phenomenal piece. He is so correct in his statement. Instead of "No Kings" protests, let's shut down the country for a one day to two or three days strike to show how much we care about our country and our democracy.

Easy to say, but it takes organizers to make sure everybody - even the poor - can get food, emergency healthcare, etc ., for days or weeks at a time. Start by organizing mutual aid instead of running down protests.

FIVE DAYS!!!

This man spits truth and REAL patriotism! God bless him and all who are fucking done with this evil bullshit! ENOUGH ITS TIME FOR THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY TO FUCKING STOP THE MADNESS - FUCK ALL OF THE WORTHLESS POLITICIANS ALLOWING THIS EVIL SHIT TOO!!! MAGA. MUST. DIE. FUCK. THEM. ALL.

Parasites only survive on a living host.

Dem governors and reps need to lead this or expect to be ousted. Unions and truck drivers can help make this happen.

We the people need to do this. We cannot outsource it or trust anyone else to do this. Thats how we lost in the first place.

Governors need to use state troopers to arrest ICE.

YES, masks for protesters. Masks keep us from being targeted by the groups we protest. Particularly important when the group in question has enough money to destroy your life.

Read it from an authoritarian voice. I made this at the start of the ice raids. Trump said no mask for protesters.

That's fair.

Right on!

Go for it, strikes are a very strong weapon

Been saying this since the beginning. The farm laborers have to stop working, the public transport, the janitors, the hotel service workers, the auto industry, meat/chicken industries....start with one day, then a week, shake the whole dam tree until we end the corporate nazi regime of trump/GOP

This is NOT “Hate Speech”. There is Power in Words. These are Worthy. There are very few of us who have fought the “Death Cult Republicans” and lived to speak of it, so when WE choose to speak of it, YOU should choose to LISTEN.

We could also do store sit-in, where at place like Walmart workers who are paid slave wages, could go to work & those of us who can, go to the stores & buy nothing. Just sit there all day.

bsky.app/profile/zeih...

Michael, how do we get MAGA red states to go on Strike??? You need everyone to join. Not just democrats... unless you have specific ideas, it's just a dream. Not saying it's a bad idea, no. In fact it's a great idea, but how do we that?

Red States would basically have to follow suit . Since Red States depend on Blue States for financial help. Imagine if California shut down. They have the 3rd largest economy in the world.

Does not work that way. I can see Blue state governors maybe get involved but red states will never follow.

There’s a lot of blues in red states. Houston is basically blue, Dallas is bluish.

Can I just say ditto?

Can I ditto your ditto?

The day after Labor Day!! Tuesday, September whatever-the-date is. . .

September 2, 2025. . . 09/02/25

I believe it's time! Too much has been taken away and the future is looking bleak.

HOORAY! LET'S DO THIS! We need to bring this Country to a "STAND-STILL" for how long it takes! GIVING-IN to RW Nazi THUGS/bullies, only makes them STRONGER! It will come down to Civil War, be PREPARED! Sending LOVE & STRENGTH! 💙

I’m there…

It's the only non-violent way left.Did some research. There have been many massive national work strikes in US history and they were very successful.Sometimes the greedy and the government have to be reminded who the majority is and the power they have.

Exactly what needs to happen. 💪🏻🇺🇲☮️👊

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲☮️☮️☮️👊

I’m ready! Let’s go!

Protests are having no effect, even when millions come out. If this can be properly organized, then I'm willing to help support it.

Brace yourselves and Throw the DAMNED SWITCH.

Yes ! 🙌 The power is with the people.

Please provide the dates.

Your country is dying. Not a slow, peaceful death, a cancerous tumor is rapidly destroying it from within. There's no due process or human rights. What agencies you do have are completely gutted to the point they're no use. Trade & allies are going to. The longer you wait, the more you're losing.

Is there a day or week we’re thinking about? I’m all in! Let’s pick the time and get er done!

On this day whatever day we coordinate, I'll participate by buying NOTHING! I'm retired disabled. And this is how you can participate if you are also retired. We ALL get out again, holding signs and shutting it down! We have to make it hurt. I realize that it hurts us too. But we have to put our

money where our mouths are. Get you a gas mask a shield of some kind to protect you from the billy clubs, and rubber bullets. We need to escalate, 1 more step. Because we cannot sit back and accept what's happening. It may take more than one general strike.

We have several protest picks on our end

They only understand MONEY. YES. We need to speak loudly in THEIR LANGUAGE. ABSOLUTELY!

When? It can't be one day or just a few days because the oligarchs can wait that out. Remember that the Montgomery bus boycott lasted a year. A one-day strike would have to be followed by a sustained action against one essential thing that has a workable alternative.

✊🏾👊🏾United WE Stand 🤞🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

REPOST👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾

This is Critical

And remain that way until there is change.

It would only take a week, maybe 2 and he will get his ass dragged out of office along with his entire cabinet. We can do this! It beats the hell out of a civil war.

FUX Yeah. I’ve got goose bumps, now. 🥺

Man's got a point. Some things need FIXING! #Revolution-IS-our-JOB #Don'tFearGeneralStrikes

Yes!!!!

YES!

When?

Actually, that would work.

National strike organizers need to start talking to Union heads in all areas. To not involve these entities is a mistake. Imagine how huge a one day strike could be with Union support on our side. #NationalStrike #UnionStrong

How about a week long strike...that would get the regime's knickers in a twist

Most of us don't have enough pto to do that and can't affird a week of no pay and would be fired from our jobs if we just bailed for a week.

I hear you, it would be pretty difficult for most people to be off work for a week.

Independance is Cool, but UNITY IS STRONGER!

More of this and less of the useless single day performative pieces of crap we call “No Kings”. It’s time we stop everything or admit that they fight harder and might therefore deserve to win this war. I don’t want us to lay down and die but dammit if it doesn’t feel that way with each post I read.

it all matters

I completely agree. It does but something like this requires a sense of urgency. We should have started a strike when the ugly bill was still up for votes. We can’t wait and hope the enemy crawls as slow as our justice system does. They’re running full speed to destroy the country.We need to catch⬆️

We can’t wait for someone to save us. We have to be the ones to save ourselves. If we can’t do more than muster the single day don’t kill us protests where people are still being harmed in the streets by corrupt police. They stormed the capital with the intent to kill and we can’t seem to strike.

Nationwide strike is only useful if we are united.

If just 1/3 of Bluesky users signed the General Strike card, we'd be that much closer to saving Democracy. #UnityAmongTheUnified #StrongerTogether #Commit #Pinks bsky.app/profile/bosc...

Word!

@generalstrikeus.bsky.social Join us!

Love this courageous man. Karma will be very, very good to him. But more important he's a key player for this moment in time. He gets it.

Wow.

WORD!!!!!!

👍

Go for it national blackout.

Yes, it’s past time for this. He’s right. There needs to be nationwide strikes now to take this country back from authoritarian goons.

This country could give up many things but the ability to "buy" is not one of them. We are consumerism addicts.

May be the only way to get our country back from the slough of despond that #47 is creating.

You’re right, Janet 💙 We can’t give up and must always stand together!!! Nice to meet you 🦋 Hope you’ll follow me back 💙🦋💙

It would be cool if Americans had the balls to do it but I fear it will never happen.

Of course it won’t .. no one can afford it.

WE CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO!!

I'll support a 2-day strike. I'll help my neighbors and friends in need to sustain themselves. "Democracy for All, and justice for All" demands sacrifice. Before we reach a point of hopelessness and helplessness, we must scream nationally and with one voice that can be heard around the world.

Where are part 1 and 2?

About fucking time....did he say when....

It will never happen. By design, Americans are kept living paycheck-to-paycheck exactly for this reason, so we can’t afford to strike. Your bills don’t stop just because you want to teach billionaires a lesson.

This is what I'm afraid of too. Especially when your healthcare is through your employer. Very effective means of control.

I do think it’s time to seriously consider this. I wasn’t always on board. This could hurt me big time but what they are doing is going to hurt us all. Now it’s not just about me!!!!!!
