I've written several times about the urgent need for a general strike. It's the only possibility I can envision for changing the trajectory we're on.

In a recent essay, Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) calls for the same thing...

A general strike isn't just a strike for workers' rights. Under Trump, a general strike is a strike against Trumpism and all its horrors: kids in cages, forced birth, trans erasure, climate accelerationism – the whole fucking thing.
A general strike would build the worker power to occupy the Democratic Party and force it to stand up for the American people against oligarchy, rather than meekly capitulating to fascism (and fundraising), which is all they know how to do anymore.
But before we can occupy the Dems, we have to occupy the unions. We need union bosses who are committed to signing up every worker who wants workplace democracy, and unionizing every workplace in *spite* of the NLRB, not with its help.
We need to go back to our roots, when there were no rules.
