    Trump’s threat to keep the gov’t shut down for “months or even years” is in violation of the 13th amendment. Does he expect TSA workers or anyone else to keep toiling on without pay? There should be a general strike until this bullshit stops.

        I think we need a general strike until the wars stop and we have universal healthcare and education at the very least.

        The General Strike is our strongest protest. Which is why is it rarely given light as an option. But simply not going to work or spending any money drove the British Raj from India. So it works.

        It would be tricky finding scabs when you can't actually pay them to do the work.

        Considering how many TSA agents are calling in sick, there might just be one brewing already.

        I'm fine with TSA workers finding new jobs where they can lead productive lives not predicated on serving this police state.

        He is very used to not paying people. Hence all of the contractors he has stiffed over the years on his projects. #impeachtheMF

        He has a long history of not paying people for the work they did, so yes, it seems he does expect people to keep working without pay.

        General strike is a great idea. How does one even organize a general strike? I have a lot of reading up to do.

        #generalstrike is exactly what is needed. The coastal cities alone can being the American economy to its f—king knees if we don’t buy anything we don’t need for a month or two.
