At least 120 cities plan to hold actions in solidarity with the Minneapolis General Strike.
Yes, strike!
Don’t just protest and then go back to work for the same people buying these politicians.
This is fantastic, this is amazing!!
Keep being active everyone and get more people doing!! Power to the people!!! The more of us doing the stronger we all are!!
Also let’s round up what the Alt-Right is doing and some Alt-Left establishment government is supporting did not take into account:
- People from Right AND millions of Left nationwide in USA carry all kinds of firearms (The alt-left establishment pushes hard to remove firearms but decent amount of people do not support that)
- Plenty of Left-leaning people vote right in Ruby red and purple states to not be ostracized so almost any Ruby red state can flip
- They underestimate the rage people have had boiling for so many decades from not getting our needs meet
- They did not expect a united resistance to all that they are doing back then to now from people all over world and here
- If they really wanna continue this a stupid game they will really FAFO in every way imaginable!!
The goal of all of us real people who care on left and right here in USA is to unite to take back our country and primary all the traitors from alt-left and alt-right establishment in office/upcoming candidates.
Also after this is all resolved we need to promote things that encourage dialogue between sides and gets people to meet each other halfway way more. Also to go back to where left and right parties were before Reagan instead of the far far right it is leaned into right now. Also reinstating good things we had before
This is a good wakeup call to get younger candidates to get elected too since they are way less likely to be compromised and have personal experience with failure of the system
We outnumber them by millions in people and brainpower here and worldwide. Just all of us doing makes us all win. 99% wins vs 1% every time when people just show up.
Edit: Lets be clear. Im left leaning and alt-right (MAGA) are doing all this today in Minnesota and nationwide. Alt-let admin isnt doing anything substantial to stop them and take AIPAC too. Dont put your heads in sand and be blind we must solve issues. Mainly this alt-right admin right now. Fuck MAGA just making that clear for some who misinterpreted what Im trying to say
There is no such thing as the alt-left.
There’s many things to talk about but this is a very recent one:
Democrats are not “alt-left”. Honestly you’re coming across as a right whinger trying to pretend it’s a both sides thing and not the alt-right being straight up modern day Nazis.
Nope I’m a left leaning person just seeing the facts through research. Its mainly alt-right doing this but we have to all admit the alt-left admin mostly isnt doing anything to stop it, and has taken AIPAC as well. We cant solve issue if we dont solve both sides. But to be clear it is more alt-right than alt-left currently. Alt-left are way more quiet about what they do. They each cause their own problems. Stop being blinded and misinterpreting what Im trying to say. Im on your damn side fucking a. Updated original comment too. All this is on alt-right for what they are doing to people but look at the fucking response there isnt enough from those in positions of power from the alt-left. Not all the left in power just a decent amount. Look for yourself who takes AIPAC and who is and is not doing daily with organization and action to help the people. The alt-right are Nazis and I am not against you just miscommunication
There is no such fucking thing as the alt-left, and there sure as fuck has never been an alt-left administration in power in America.
Then we agree to disagree and leave it at that. Lets just continue to remove this stain on our country
No.
All resistance is good.
Shut down the economy.
The regime needs our obedenence, do not give it to them willingly.
And keep it going! Dont buy anything unless it’s a 100% essential. Cancel all your media subscriptions. Reduce your food intake to a healthy amount. Stop going to shows and on trips. This needs to go longer than one day. I’d say three more years but we’re so materialistic it’s discouraging.
As a Canadian, I’ve already boycott most American products
As an American, I mostly buy Canadian or European, except for food.
Edit: also I also buy Japanese
As an American, I can barely afford American products.
My Dad tells me some American products are cheaper and better quality than Canadian ones at the stores here in Canada. Strawberries was the example he used
Nobody is buying them and the stores have to drop the prices or watch them rot on the shelf.
Absolutely not for quality. At least for strawberries the US ones have no taste, but BC strawberries are some of the most delicious I’ve ever had. The real difference is the California ones are available year-round. The quality is so bad though I just go with frozen the rest of the year
Strawberries are luxury goods in Canada. Usually $6-8/pint here now
All of western society needs a major re adjustment. So yes boycotting American everything is good, but we need to look inward. Our lives of excess without tangible positive impact on all life in this planet cannot continue.
Lying flat is what I hear it’s called in China. There’s a lot we don’t need on a daily that we purchase because of consumerism. It’s finding what’s needed. Wear old clothes until they fall apart, eat less and less processed food, don’t just stop media consumption but pirate it if you can and show if for those who can’t. We need multiple pain points here that are sustained. The other part is look out for each other. Your neighbor can barely eat while working? Buy some extra non-perishables for them. Have extra clothing? Give it right to people who need it. Collectivism is how we get rid of capitalism.
FYI - you don’t need permission from anyone or confirmation that others will join you to call in sick tomorrow. This is literally one of the easiest things you could do to show your support. It’s not enough on its own but if we can’t even do this much we won’t do more either.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman’s veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn’t been one since.That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.
16:28 · 22 Jan 2026I looked it up. These were anti-union laws. I think about how quickly the French can strike, but remember that it’s four to five giant labor unions that always call for them to happen. We’re in dire straits here in the U.S!
Sign a strike card??? https://www.generalstrikeus.com/
Not only that but keep getting more people active!! Also keep using Session, XMPP, Signal/Molly, Matrix/Element, Stoat, and Piefed to get coordinated and organize people!! Getting people to mobilize and organize other people as well. The more of us doing the stronger we all are!!
I think that the elites in France learned that it was much better to let the people strike than the alternative.
Strike and protests are the compromises that everyone agreed too.
Really? Did something happen there, during a time of upheaval? I wonder what that could have been.
How would the act effect how strikes are organized? The government is not involved no?
Unions AKA organized labor often call for strikes. Our unions have been systematically undercut in the US, and as such, we have a very limited ability to organize ourselves in collective action.
By outlawing solidarity strikes, and several other kinds of strikes. It’s difficult to organise a general strike because almost every general strike is illegal.
Solidarity strikes are illegal? Sounds unconstitutional. Enforcing sich laws should lead to the strikes spreading if it catches on.
The beauty of a genersl strike, you do not have to picket. Just not go to work. They can do little if it catches on, and beating up marchers will help it catch on.
We need to think about being able to protect ourselves marching and protesting. Especially against counterprotester type groups they will be giving license, support, intelligence, and protection to, to attack protesters unlawfully.
I’m clocking into work but like hell you’ll find me doing anything.
If people are too worried about losing their jobs and can’t just not turn up, would an economic shutdown work instead? - like nobody spend any money. No restaurants, groceries, don’t go to the mall or buy anything on line, etc.
That’s already what this is.
I don’t know if people can stop buying food indefinitely but maybe they can all stop buying any non-essentials. Just doing this on certain days would be stupid because people would just stock up the day before
Can the powers that be just please stop insisting it just be for a “DAY” of resistance… thats not what a general strike is, so either call it something else or commit to the actual thing you’re pretending to promote.
Its a good step in the right direction, but lets stop pretending these performative one weekend day a month protests are making any difference at all.
I’m ashamed to not see Miami in the map … we did great with no kings … I’ll poke around and see if anyone is organizing anything and needs help
Honestly I didn’t get this memo that we were striking in my city.
The Europeans have it right. Americans only strike when it’s convenient.
Honestly I didn’t get this memo that we were striking in my city.
You’ve got it now, and the day isn’t over yet.
Unfortunately I work from home and Fridays are code freeze days, and we fuck around and video games together. 😭
and we fuck around and video games together
If that’s your higher priority…
They also tried to organize it with like 12 minutes of notice.
I get that it’s urgent, but if you don’t give people time to even get groceries ahead of time, you can’t really have a large-scale strike lasting longer than an afternoon.
Don’t pay a capitalist for the food and it doesn’t count. This factoid is for able-bodied privledge havers.
Playing by the rules slave-takers make won’t stop the police from destroying your life for fun.
Also planting food scraps in a gallon jug today will help with the next strike. However we need.
You all are missing the point. The Govt has systematically dismantled our labor unions, and labor unions typically call for strikes. It’s not about convenience: It’s about the ability to organize and the guarantee of a number of people participating.
Edit: sorry chillidog, i meant this as a response to the person above you.
Europeans can kiss my ass when they talk like that. We have a totally different situation here. Less than 10% union membership I believe.
Only because you have allowed that situation to arise. I’d tell youse to kiss my arse but you’re too busy kissing the boot on your neck.
This is exactly what I’m talking about. No empathy or solidarity, just talking shit to your moral and intellectual superiors.
You’re not exactly inviting empathy though, are you?
If you mean the lunatics in charge, then decent folks could say the same thing about Europeans.
No, I mean you. Going on about kissing your ass. Perhaps that’s why you’re not getting much sympathy.
Lol you’re just a worthless baby brained dumbfuck, no surprise you’re not sympathetic to people who suffer.
Dang I’m just finding out I have a Dr appointment but nothing else
I also have a doctors appointment! Solidarity! Haha
My area isn’t doing shit, but that doesn’t mean I’m not.
Isn’t doing shit the opposite goal here? /s
But good job, hope you can convince some others to not participate in any economic activity.
Do it!
Good luck.
YO WASSUP ORLANDO!
