My dear friends, please be angry. Be energized. Be smart and kind and flexible. Be water. Be brave.
But above all, be intentional. Be tactical. Be cunning.
That is how we can be dangerous.

In 2019, when @flyingwithsara.bsky.social brought up the *idea* of a general strike to end a govt shutdown, it got immediate results. Why? Because if the workers she represents all walk out, the entire U.S. transportation sector shuts down. Everything shuts down. That's the power of a general strike

Why does it matter what an action is called, so long as people are getting involved? Every time a "general strike" fizzles out, that weakens the power of the actual mechanism. A general strike is meant to send cold shivers down the state and bosses' spines. It is a threat. It is our nuclear option.

Boycotts are necessary! Big protests are necessary! Economic blackouts are necessary! Workers calling out sick or taking time off to support these causes is necessary! Mutual aid is BEYOND necessary! But they are not strikes.

I am so happy to see so many people directing their energy against these fucking fascists! It's good! It's also very true that strikes take WORK, can last a long time, need resources and infrastructure to succeed. I spent two YEARS covering a strike in Alabama that still hasn't been resolved.

being pedantic about what is and is not a general strike isn't helpful (I'm doing my best!) but man, if we want to take these fuckers down, building power starts in the workplace. keep protesting, keep organizing, but also TALK TO YOUR COWORKERS. JOIN A UNION. then you can start talking strikes.
