If your where you work contributes or supports this administration a walk out seems obvious to me. Any mutal aids out to support people during this? I'd give up every distraction for some real fucking change at this point

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I'm not saying this isn't what needs to happen. Shut everything down, for sure.
But the reality is that Trump and his Gestapo don't give a shit if a blue state slows to a crawl from a walkout. Their not smart enough to grasp that blue states actually contribute more.
In their brains, blue state walkouts just means blue state chaos, which they love.
Until it starts hitting GOP states, the assholes in charge won't pay attention.
The US is already in a civil war. But only one side is actually fighting it.
I really don't understand why I am supposed to pay federal taxes when they're going to murdering my neighbors in the streets.
Every little bit helps.
They literally cannot go after us all.
I could not agree more,
Then again dock workers in EU did refuse to do anything with stuff headed to Israel to help with the greater genocide of Palestine.
Of course in our Capitalist world, especially here in it’s capital, we punish employees of certain professions, if they decide to put their needs a head of them doing their jobs & strike.
There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy.
That’s what protests are for. Disrupt the daily grind to communicate and bring awareness to people in power to make changes. Only issue here is the people not in power are the ones that need to make the changes because everything is going to plan for those in power currently.
We need to be done with protests and move on to national strikes! Disrupt their supply of cash, tank stocks, fuck the market!!
Not a shower thought, and breaks community rules by being political
