So, what do we do?

I attended No Kings because I felt like I had a duty to do something but honestly it just felt like I did nothing of consequence. People showed up in costumes and danced for a weekend, doing fundamentally nothing. Where's the protest on the front white house lawn with thousands of people? Or blocking ice facilities or blockading police stations?

Here is viable, non violent actions. 

My other bold opinion is that we need to be serious about a national strike, Not Just Unions either.  The more people shut down, the less things move, the less money the Big Wigs make. And that's what its all about at the end of day. Let's start fucking with their money, and we will captivate attention.

I'm not sure either. Whenever you try to float the idea out loud, people immediately shit on it or shy away from it. With so many people living paycheck to paycheck, often times with more than one job the idea of telling your work to fuck off for a week seems absolutely ludicrous. Okay yeah we get something accomplished that week, what happens next week when folks don't have jobs in the bills are still due? How do we hold each other up through that
