@inthehands@hachyderm.ioMore and more chatter showing up in my various spheres about the planned day of protest / shutdown / general strike this Friday in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
I remain skeptical of just how effective a general strike can be here in the US — folks just aren’t used to the idea, aren’t primed for it — but this one •might• actually jostle the needles on some of the local economic seismographs.
I hope so.

@ingo@social.stuetzle.cc„One tactic of fascism is to shift the scales of political alignment: centrists become stalwarts of the radical left; moms become ‚domestic terrorists.‘ Everyone with a whistle becomes antifa. And actually, that last part is correct—or at least it should be. A general strike has been called for Friday, January 23. With luck, thousands of Minnesotans will join in on what many further left are already doing: stopping business as usual and withdrawing their consent from fascism. Among many thin…
