General Strike Spreads From Coast to Coast



Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across the country today to demand an end to ICE’s reign of terror.

We’re seeing what a nationwide general strike could look like. Workers, students, and neighbors organized together to shut down their cities — no work, no school, no spending.

The economy can’t function without us.

I think it's notable that these protests were primarily organized by university students and that's a very good thing. littlemissmartypants 17 hrs ago #2

Thousands of protestors blockade an ICE office in Baltimore.

They've shut down access to the building and are blocking employees from leaving the parking garage.

Just wait until it gets warmer. If this shit is still going on, the marches will be really huge.

Stop attending sports at all levels.
It affects the wealthy owners, advertising agencies, sport clothing, and most of all this would hurt the oil industry and bring down prices. It is almost like big oil invented sports.
I always liked playing sports but have never been a viewer other than playoffs. Today the best seat is in your house and if you can scream as load as you want with friends even better.
