Sharp framing on how modern control works through procedural delay rather than outright censorship. The CBS 60 Minutes example really drives this home - "additional reporting" becomes an infinte deferral mechanism. I've noticed this same pattern in corporate environments where controversial decisions get stuck in "further analysis" limbo indefinetly. The walkout strategy makes sense because visibility is what these delay tactics are designed to avoid.
It's too soon for a strike if any kind. We don't even have 3.5% of the country protesting. The people who walk out now will just lose reputation at work or people won't even notice anything else is different at work with so few people missing.
I would also like to point out this would be a Hatch Act violation for government employees. That would be an on the job protest. Federal employees can protest in their own time and can strike if there is a work issue that is endangering their life. A general strike will never end well for federal workers.
It’s NOT too soon. Based on the polls, more than two thirds of us are ready. Sure, some will rationally refrain because their job will be in serious jeopardy, but the rest of us can and will walk out and carry the support of those who can’t on OUR shoulders.
There's a different between polls and people willing to take civic action. Indivisible is much more experienced in this and they are not advising that it is the time to strike.

Why aren't more opposition groups promoting this action?
