While the media fixate on partisan blame, Russ Vought and a hard-right GOP faction are quietly using the shutdown to sidestep Congress and reshape government.
Totally agree as a lot of the most powerful unions are white male supremisist organizations. I also think McCarthyism damaged unions in a way that they never recovered from and put them on the defensive of constantly having to prove they weren’t communists. There’s still some great unions out there. I don’t know how to achieve widespread solidarity I just think it would be a very effective strategy in this situation where the executive branch is wanting to start a violent campaign against the American people to squash decent. In this situation a powerful peaceful protest is essential
When are we going to start a general strike?
In 3 years maybe
I wish I was kidding, that’s the big American unions’ plans.

There’s also this one that needs 11 million more signatures to start.

Optimistic to think unions will be allowed in 3 years.
Yeah Union leaders in the US are domesticated
