Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike.
You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me"
you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

malnourished children and mothers with AIDS are dying in Africa so that Trump can spend our tax dollars instead on plundering Venezuela's oil
Q: You said the US is going to run Venezuela. So who's in power right now?
TRUMP: Well, we're gonna be running it with a group. We're gonna make sure it's run properly. We're gonna rebuild the oil infrastructure which will cost billions of dollars.

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].
YOU: I’m calling [MOC] to demand they condemn the U.S.’s actions in Venezuela tonight. The Trump administration has carried out an illegal attack and capture of Maduro that is a clear violation of international sovereignty and will impact relationships will alienate international allies, and [ELECTED] must speak out about this.
YOU: I am also calling on [MOC] to:

2. Demand a legal written justification from the Administration,
3. Hold IMMEDIATE House/Senate Foreign Affairs hearings on the the decision-making, legality, and diplomatic risks of the Maduro operation,
4. Demand an immediate classified briefing for the Gang of Eight.
YOU: What happened tonight will have ramifications across the world in the days, weeks and months to come, and we need answers and action taken.

Call your Congressperson now. It will be logged as “Holy cow we got X calls on the week end”. If they’re Dems they need these calls to pressure worse Dems & better Republicans. Don’t give up the ship yall.
Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important.
Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.

Is there actually a benefit to leaving a VM now vs getting a staffer on Monday? Can do both but just curious

Food security is a crisis on reservations across the US, in a classic example of the ways colonialism strip people of independence and solidarity and cultivate forced poverty and deprivation.
SNAP was restored, but many indigenous Americans still struggle with food insecurity
During the government shutdown, disruptions in food aid rippled across reservations. Both residents and tribal officials had to make tough choices, and are still feeling the financial impacts.

Want to pull out this slide: people deserve to know there’s a growing mountain of evidence finding more Covid infections = more likelihood of being left chronically ill.
There’s a temptation to think that if you recovered ok last time, then you will next time too, but that’s not what the data say.
