A General Strike?

THIS IS A GOOD PIECE, A General Strike? 'GET SOBER FOLKS' .
I watched the NPR show tonight on the Oklahoma bombing of 1995. Amazing how much force the cops used and the resources they had, which turned them all into boneheads on steroids who drove McVeigh nuts. 168 Dead!

I'm interested in movement organizing strategy... lots of
people discussing this topic right now. If the 9th Circuit does right, will Trump ignore the
decision.....sort of Andy Jackson reborn from the Bank Fight and the Indian
cases of the mid 1830s?

The way things are going, that Reichstag moment could come
sooner than we may have anticipated. Labor is too weak in numbers and
political strength to lead the United Front, and the broader post Woman's March
movement is too inchoate at this point to fully predict how it will emerge? Yet, I'm optimistic. I have visited or done a little work with a
few different organizations recently, and there are large numbers of people
getting involved, perhaps more than were coming forth in the 1968-72
period? It sort of feels that way. However, we also must be
consider that there may be great danger ahead. A serious terrorist event
may lead to a state of emergency and "his illegitimacy" will rule by
fear.

A Translation of Inaugural Address- by Frederick Foote
Dear Readers, you may have missed Donald Trumps’ inaugural address out of antipathy and disgust. However, the address was very revealing if you understand Trump Speak. Trump Speak is a dialect that has its foundation in misinformation, exaggeration, lies, bellicose bombast, and self-promotion.
This vernacular assumes that the one correct view of the world is Trumps. And every other perspective is not just wrong but is a treasonous affront to Trump and, therefore, a seditious insult to the nation.
I’m far from an expert in Trump Speak, but I have provided my translation of the inaugural hectoring on Across the Margin at:
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe via ActionNetwork.org
Dear Water Protectors:
On January 18th, the Department
of the Army published in the Federal Register its Notice of Intent to require
an Environmental Impact Statement.
This is another small victory in
defeating the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline.
The fight, however, is still not
over.
While the EIS is exactly what we
called for, we must ensure that it fully takes into consideration tribal treaty
rights, natural resources, cultural and sacred places, socio-economical
concerns, and environmental justice.
We need your continued support as
this process moves forward.

We'll once again have our day.
