How do you spell "General Strike"? The last one held in San Francisco was in 1934! When I joined The Sailors Union of the Pacific in the 60's, the ultimate putdown from the oldtimers was where were you in the 34 strike?! Unions shut down San Francisco. The cops hid.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.
