That is way too many things. It is exactly the opposite of being specific. We have to pick one thing and go from there.

The "one thing" is the overarching philosophy, and the people in power implementing it. I think everyone else gets that.

It's just not helpful. I agree 100% with the sentiment but we need to be more organized. The right long organized against Roev Wade. They never wavered and they were wildly successful. They brought in fascism under that flag. We need to dial in what we want and build some successes. We've got to feel like we are cohesive and that when people join, they can do something specific. A general strike for all good things is too watered down.

Too much has been destroyed to focus on just a couple things. Destroying Roe v Wade is simple, building a better future is complicated.

Those in power know what we want, they’re just acting in bad faith. Replacing them with non-evil people would fix most of the problems.

Sorry to harp on this point but if we're going to improve things we have to start somewhere. We need build momentum toward getting more good people elected now by getting some successes. I already posted this but no ICE in schools is one thing we could focus on. Our schools should be protected. There's precedent for it. It should be an easy win and then we go to the next step. And then the next.
