Thinking out loud: shouldn’t this be converted to a national strike and slowdown?
??
That will be a Saturday; having a national strike+slowdown on Friday March 27th, the day before, would be most effective.
The super-destructive Iran war has been launched since I first floated this idea. If there ever was a time we needed an historic national strike and slowdown, it’s then! (if not yesterday…)
If there is not even the separate discussion of a National Strike and Slowdown on an upcoming date, given all the insane Israel-First antics, I won’t be going to this. The more protests you have with few consequences, the more you trivialize the protest’s cause…
No Kings? If at this point there’s no formation of a companion National Strike and Slowdown, you should just call it “No Consequences”. So we’re going for a photo shoot at this point??
YES We Do but not having the connectors like unions and hitting the bar after work that along with social media algorithms then add ex TYT folks slinging sh!t on the regular making people coming together seemly unlikely even with Cenk, Ana’s and others efforts. Hopefully No Kings will be a success getting people out amongst their neighbors starting conversations building community and solidarity. I would love to do the NYC one but a ten minute walk beats a hour or two maybe three drive… 
To further explain my position on it: a year ago No Kings was vital because there was a lying narrative pushed by both commercial media and PAID pundits that Trump was loved. The protest then showed that as a bald-faced LIE.
Now? The polls are overwhelming that he is unliked. Not even FOX can push it!! So what is the point to the protest now? It COULD have served as a warm-up to a National Strike and Slowdown.
So why is that next level not being considered now? My guess: many of the No Kings organizers are corporate Dems who are betrothen to corporate monopoly donor money -they don’t want to see a more powerful labor force become better organized!
The Iranians are being taken seriously now because there are economic consequences for bad actions. A national strike and slowdown are economic consequences. News item: “Repubs did not address the No Kings protests”. Gee; maybe because it has no consequences at this point (unless it had been used to message that a national strike and slowdown is next…)
Many of the people who organized THIS No Kings are of the mindset that all we can do is vote Repubs out at the midterms. NO! We need formidable economic pushback right away, to get Trump out before further irrepairable damage is done to this country and the global economy. It can’t wait some eight months more, all while Trump piles on with more and more destructive actions.
As I have explained before: he’s a sick puppy; he likes people to be miserable like him -misery loves company. Don’t think he can top his destructive actions BEFORE the midterms?? Sit back and watch! You won’t be able to undo many of them anytime soon after the midterms…
