Full update:

The government shutdown will extend into next week, as the Senate leaves town for the weekend yet again without a deal to reopen the government.

Their next votes are expected on Monday, which will be day 27 of the shutdown.

    Please someone call the general strike to start! If it gets kicked off and gets into the news cycle more people will join. We can’t just sit around and hope enough people join the strike cards. It’s not even being advertised to get more people signed up.

      A strike without proper buy in will not work. People will not organically join on necessary levels. This is basic union organization type shit. You need to take entire businesses and supply chains out and that will not be accomplished by just random people stopping working in a spattering across the states.

      If you want a general strike on a serious level, make sure your own work place is organized and unionized to be able to strike when needed

        People can’t strike. They need to eat. We need to skip this bullshit and go right to the source of the problem. 💀
