@carsten I don't understand, how does that help get rid of ICE?
@panmanphil @carsten The strike is designed to show economic impact. People can't vote at the ballot so they vote with their dollars. Business closing voluntarily show solidarity. Business that stay open risk outing themselves as accomplices.

@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.
@carsten Have a good general strike!

#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.

THIS.
THIS.
THIS.He wants to call a National Emergency andenact the Insurrection Act.
Then he can cancel Midterm Voting, because how can we vote when there's a national emergency?
Right out of any Fascist playbook.

At the start of the 1946 Oakland #GeneralStrike businesses closed except food stores, and bars put their jukeboxes outside for dancing in the streets (and they were only allowed to serve beer, no hard alcohol)

#minnesota #mn #strike@carsten Unfortunately, the general strike might coincide with the national holiday Trump declares to celebrate him being given the Nobel peace prize.
