Tryna convince the parents at my wife’s school, but they poorer than us. It’s a “lock the copy room or parents will take the paper” district which pisses me off. First, I know someone who would gladly donate like ten grand of paper if they just asked. I think they just stingy
Thanks, friend!
Anti Consumerism is the best way everyone can fight this.
Stop all subscriptions like Netflix, Disney, Hulu, Prime, cable, YouTube, Spotify, iCloud, ….
Stop buying new clothes, stop buying new shoes, stop buying new phones, new computers, new yoga pants, …
Stop consuming.
Buy the necessities only: groceries, laundry detergent, soap, toothpaste, etc.
Don’t eat out, don’t order delivery.
Stop feeding the oligarchy.
They will break quickly.
WTF, I’ve been doing this for years. I buy a new pc every 10 years, shoes when you can see through them and clothes when mothers start covering their children’s eyes as I mow the lawn.
It is yes.
Hopefully this one day shows what a full general shutdown can do.
I’m ready

People seem to care more when it’s white people dying. They’re missing a few names.
Ok well they’re activated now bring em in
For a long time the powers that be have played us against eachother with “them and us” tactics. When its ‘them’ dying its not a problem, they might have had it coming, its a ‘them’ thing. When they do it to ‘us’, recent converts realise one of two things ; [we were all us all along and they played me for a fool] or [they’re coming after us too].
Either way, they’re now an ally. You can preach at them when this is over, and sort the 1st and 2nd kind apart at a more convenient time. Don’t try and shame them for not coming onside sooner, it’ll only create problems.
I do think it’s important that we check ourselves. Having a lot footage I think also plays a big role, George Floyd being another example.
I don’t know of footage of the other ICE deaths, but maybe that’s a bias at play.
There’s also the “one death is a tragedy, 100 deaths is a statistic” situation happening.
Another factor is that these murders are breaking through to the folks that see the violence of arrests and raids and the deaths and injury of detainees more as a necessary cost. They can’t justify these murders in their world view and they can empathize with them because they know these people did “nothing wrong” and were still killed. Maybe it could be them next?
Yup, it’s why Racism is considered systemic in this country. Also they aren’t just murdering people in the streets.

I guess nevermind then.
I have seen a lot of online chatter that starts with ‘but he was a white guy’. Tells you a lot about the average american’s view of the world.

There may also be a government shut down on that day, until Trump gets his way.
Another weekend protest to minimize its own effect
And yet people like you still can’t commit to such an easy ask
Perfect is the enemy of good.
The United States lacks a lot of organizing structures compared to other countries, as well as lacking the social safety nets. Let this be a stepping stone rather than a point for derision.
It’s on a Friday. Aren’t weekends Saturday and Sunday?
Not according to my Minnesota food service employer that requires that I work every weekend (Friday-Sunday) or else get fired. Also, a LOT of places here do 4x10s (or at least give you the option) so the weekend is kind of Friday-Sunday
Fair. I don’t work in an M-F 9-5 industry either. I’ve never heard of 4x10. Is that a food service thing?
No, it’s not usually a food service thing. It’s usually a manufacturing or an office thing. 4 day work week, ten hour days. 4x10s.
Right on! In nursing, some of us do 3.5 x 12 (3 shifts one week, 4 the other). I like it!
