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.
I wrote I can't for the simple reason I live in South America. If I lived in the USA, my answer would have been the second option. Thank you for the report, it was clear and concise.
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 can’t employers participate? Next, this is not a party-specific action, in terms of supporting any particular political party. (Is it?) It is resistance to a pro-fascist government. ANY politician, anybody who paints this as party vs. party is in divisive mode. Am I right?
There is no time like the present to act. Any delay favors the pro-fascist government.
No it's becoming too late. Day by day you are losing rights you once thought of as sacrosanct. The rethugs are getting desperate so things will become worse in a hurry.
Things are horrible, but they're losing momentum. The courts have started blocking ICE, Republicans are choosing to leave Congress, and we have midterms right around the corner.
Dream on Brenda! If you think he's going to allow elections you're as crazy as he is. He's always got another ace up his sleeve, which he's shown you enough times. His party are in power. The SCOTUS is in his back pocket. Also little dick has perfected the art of delay when it comes to the courts. E Jean Carroll still hasn't been paid yet! Among others.
Thanks for writing this, it clarifies a lot. The patterns of information control feel like untangling a complex algorithm. Each point, from the photo to the CBS segment, shows a deliberate, concening trend. It is vital to expose these shifts.
It's a good idea (the Walk Out) but you need to bring the timeline forward. As we've seen, little dick is moving fast because he knows what's coming. He's already got people psychologically conditioned to "troops" on the streets in the form of National Guard and ICE. People are at present hiding away waiting for the moment to pass. It won't it'll get worse and worse because the rethug party has so much to lose.

Why aren't more opposition groups promoting this action?

Hatch Act applies to all political activities. You can protest off the job on your own time. But not on the agencies property.

Retired. Can't walk out. Any corresponding activity?
Walk anyway? Go to the protests in your area? Make up the numbers?
