Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across the country today to demand an end to ICEs reign of terror.
Were seeing what a nationwide general strike could look like. Workers, students, and neighbors organized together to shut down their cities no work, no school, no spending.
The economy cant function without us.

(12,527 posts)7. If we want to hurt the powers that be we have to hurt ourselves a bit.
Stop attending sports at all levels.
It affects the wealthy owners, advertising agencies, sport clothing, and most of all this would hurt the oil industry and bring down prices. It is almost like big oil invented sports.
I always liked playing sports but have never been a viewer other than playoffs. Today the best seat is in your house and if you can scream as load as you want with friends even better.
