For all those who have been calling for a General Strike.

How we support a localized/ state-wide General Strike to succeed, is an important muscle building exercise for a larger General Strike.
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

We are so far beyond "show us your papers." They don't want to see the papers. We are now into the "give us the names" stage of the occupation.

We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad.

This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.
Either ICE Is Abolished or It Will Kill Many More Renee Goods
Minnesota is just the beginning of ICE's transformation into a right-wing death squad. But it can be the end

Abolish ICE should be more than just an activist slogan. Time to put meat on the bones. By the same token, we need Democrats who won’t run away from good policy, needed accountability measures, and crucial democracy protections simply because they’re scared of Republican lies.
Abolish ICE—For Real This Time
Neither activists nor elected Democrats should repeat the mistakes of the past.

Venezuela. Minneapolis. The J6 whitewash. And (after I wrote this) Jerome Powell

It's all the same story: Trump's now-public belief that nothing can stop him beyond his own 'mind' and 'morality'

But he can be stopped, by actual morality. Ours

Trump now a tyrant restrained only by ‘my own morality.’ We stop him with our own. | Will Bunch
After a monumental week that changed America, Trump believes there is no limit on his powers. We can prove him wrong.

I need to see a freeze frame, but in the NYT video it looks to me like Ross unholsters his weapon before Good even switches the gear into drive. That is why his gun is out and in a position to shoot when she moves forward. Anticipatory "self-defense" www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...
