Do a general, countrywide strike...
I'm already unemployed. Is it working yet
Martial law is the replacement of civilian government by military rule and the suspension of civilian legal processes for military powers. Martial law can continue for a specified amount of time, or indefinitely, and standard civil liberties may be suspended for as long as martial law continues. Most often, martial law is declared in times of war or emergencies such as civil unrest and natural disasters. Alternatively, martial law may be declared in instances of military coups d'état.

I don't get what this has to do with the suggestion of a General Strike
Sorry thought about a general...
One will cause the other. The orange ape is really just waiting for an excuse.
I mean, he doesn't need an excuse, he's already basically occupying Minneapolis
I have a question on this. I’m a US citizen living in the US, but work remotely for a Canadian company. What do I do during a general strike?
That makes sense. I’ll definitely keep going to the protests and set some aside to mutual aid.
Do you pay USA income tax?
I do, but I’m also salary and have unlimited pto, so not going to work isnt going to keep any taxes from going to the gov.
Take leave without pay.
Buy food for people who starve.
Support when they protest.
Apply to become a Canadian citizen?
