Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

lol the .ca TLD threw me off
Do you remember that website for a general strike that was definitely not an op? Whatever happened with that?
This one?
I saw people handing out cards for it at one of the ICE protests over the weekend so I’m assuming it still still active. Just doesn’t have 11 mill yet.
That's the one
It's ABSOLUTELY 💯💯💯 an op. You don't need a card to go on strike. You don't need to give your name, email, hometown, or phone number or be counted on a list to go on strike
Moreover, their website is WAY too slick. Only a sucker would give them any information
Freeameri.ca looks legit, though!
Sweet! Four day weekend!
Minnesota? How about national
Give it time. Let MN cook here. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good
I intend to do it in solidarity anyway, and I doubt we're alone.
Glad the unions are getting involved but what's this weak ass shit about it being one day? The whole point of a strike is you do it until they negotiate and meet your demands. One day won't achieve much.
But to be clear everyone should participate, it's better than nothing. We should get other states to participate too.
People need to build networks for a sustained strike, it can't just materialize. A one day strike is a benefit if people get out and start that networking so that future strikes can go longer.
Dead to all dictators
