leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January


Maybe if those protests did not only happen half a year apart…
6 months to organize. A lot of people have to work on Saturdays.
It will be interesting to see if the general strike on 5/1 has any impact, that’s on a Friday.
Have you learned how the Iron Curtain finally fell? A substantial part of the GDR was protesting. Every f-ing Monday. And they did not have Fakebook or Twatter to “organize”. They just showed up.
Americans protest when it is convenient. They think if they do it once or twice, it is effective. Doing it consistently is just ‘too much’ for them.
Yeah, and No Kings is not that. Not in numbers or dedication.
