Dems have to shut the government down until ICE and CBP are totally defunded. This is the basement of what we need right now. An easy lift, supported by the vast majority of Americans. Shut it down. Defund, abolish, and take DHS with it.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

General Strike US @generalstrikeus.bsky.social · 30/03/2025
Last week, 6,709 people signed their strike card. Since 1/20/25, hundreds of thousands have. But we need MORE. Share at protests, put up flyers, talk with your community. Can you get (3) people to sign their strike card this week? That’s one step closer to a strike. It’s time to go all in.
A graph titled strike card number committed over time thousands. The left starts at 1/20, 1/27, 2/3, 2/10, 2/17, 2/24, 3/3, 3/10, 3/17 with a huge leap from 1/20 (125,000) to 3/17 (over 300,000)

The only thing that makes any sense of Trump's actions is if he (& Musk) are destroying America on Putin's instructions. With a fully intended knock on effect on the rest of the democratic world.

If we are oppressed, famined, impoverished, diseased, all access to everything gone, spirit is gone, & desperate is when that type of government can really come to power & thrive because we depend on the very little scraps they will give toss to the people.

Yes! This! NOW! "Plan 2028 could look more like a series of escalating actions ... Disruptions may take other forms beyond a strike — workplace actions like slow-downs, sit-downs and walk-outs, or the kinds of community boycotts and direct action..."

The way it works is that you strip fundamental rights from targets with less political support that people will turn their consciences off to justify persecuting and then eventually the state can do it to anyone, that’s always been the plan bsky.app/profile/pbum...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.
