Be Prepared. #Gen­er­al­Strike

  • Stop Working
  • Stop Buying
  • Empty your Bank and Investment Accounts
  • Be Prepared
With Trump openly saying that he is planning to steal the election, Americans need to be prepared to shut the economy down completely if that happens. We'll need unionized and non-unionized workers alike to take part. This cannot be outsourced.  Blue collar and white collar workplaces must participate.   Everyone who claims to love the country will be needed to stop another illegitimate term by Trump.  The front line of this fight is your front door. The picket line is the "Buy Now" button on that web page. Don't cross it.     Our economic activity is our leverage and all economic activity must grind to a halt across entire communities.  Stocks are the only measure of economic well-being that matters to policy makers - so the stocks prices must collapse. Everyone must answer another fraudulent election with a wholesale vote of no-confidence by removing there labor and their dollars from this economy.

Brian Holajter’s Red Alert – Part 1

There is an email going around from Coons' field director, Brian Holajter, in which poor Brian is freaking out. It is hard to know if it is a genuine freakout or a showy freakout intended to scare the troops into re-doubling their efforts to keep the GOP's favorite Democrat in the Senate. If it is not real, it should be. I've mentioned this before but I think the overlapping progressive primary challengers are likely to boost turnout in New Castle county and help Scarane. It is hard to imagine a Marie Pinkney voter "splitting the ticket" to vote for Coons. The same goes for supporters of Larry Lambert, Madinah Wilson-Anton, Eric Morrison, Coby Owens, or Shané Darby. Sure it would have been nice if these campaigns were able to engage in the true canvasing that is the lifeblood of a grassroots campaign, but even without the door knocking, these are the districts with activated progressives: State Senate, District 13 State House, District 7 State House, District 26 State House, District 27 These are the districts that can contribute tipping point turn out to topple Coons and his garbage politics. In part 2 of this post I'll dig into turnout in this districts and try to let Brian know where his freakout meter should be right now.

‘DELAWARE CALL’ Adds to Progressive Strengths in Delaware

DelawareCall.com Community, Solidarity and Justice
A grassroots movement of people pushing for social and economic justice has been growing is size and strength in Delaware. Today marks another step in that growth as "Delaware Call' brings together some individuals and groups who have been kicking ass in various sectors of the community organizing vineyard. This is what they say about it:
The Delaware Call is an independent media group that engages in investigative journalism, political analysis, and Delaware-focused commentary. We work to uncover and uplift local community news and stories that are rarely, if ever, covered by existing media outlets. Are you looking for information about what goes on behind closed doors in the halls of power? Would you like more context explaining how things operate here in Delaware? Do you want to find out about those who exercise political and administrative power in our state? Do you want to learn how you can be involved in influencing those leaders or becoming one yourself? Then follow the Delaware Call!
This is why they are doing it:
In the late 19th century many major American cities had a half dozen or more daily newspapers. Even into the 20th century Wilmington had both The Morning News and The Evening Journal. (Although each was owned by factions of the DuPont family.) The Morning News discontinued publication in 1989, and we are left with one major daily paper. A paper with a staff which, over recent decades, has been decimated by layoffs, early retirement packages and debilitating rolling furloughs. The shrinking workforce and narrowing scope of our local news outlets is troubling when considered in the context of community organizing, social justice activism and grassroots politics. Community work requires a well informed community. Our state is becoming less and less informed, and this project aims to address this problem directly.

Two posts I’ve been holding off writing

1) There is going to be BIG shakeup in Delaware politics if Biden wins. You guys, we're talking special elections OUT THE ASS. Naturally I'm not writing that post because I don't want to jinx anything. But I do think Biden is going to win and he is going to poach some people from Delaware to work with him in DC... But who? And no...Not Coons. He will have lost the primary against Scarane. But who? 2) Trump won last time by suppressing the Dem vote. In addition to the criminal machinations, he made an unpopular Hilary Clinton DEEPLY unpopular. I'm not sure the same game plan works this year. I may never write this post. What's the point? Everyone knows who Trump is. That's the only real issue in this campaign. Do you support a draft-dodging, criminal with a meager intellect or not?

Biden Picks Harris – Reaction Thread

Unless some double reverse trickery is afoot - It is probably Harris. Social media buzz tells me the announcement it is happening tonight. React here is you need a safe space away from all the right-wing outrage and "objective" media concern trolling.

Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya Safely in Lithuania

Lukashenko opponent left Belarus under duress, say aides Hours after refusing to concede without an election recount, former teacher Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya has left Belarus and called for an end to anti-government protests. The U.S. and E.U. have condemned the police violence against protestors, saying the election was not "free and fair."
Be ready for this in the US, my dear readers and comrades. Our own rendezvous with destiny is creeping ever closer. When the time comes, we must be ready to defend freedom, decency and justice.

Here is my Biden VP Pick list in order of my level of excitement

As I have foretold, whoever Joe picks, they are going to be attacked mercilessly by the right wing media and by the right's idiot ventriloquist dummies in the "objective" media. Nevertheless, here is my list in order of my level of excitement. 1 – Susan Rice 1 – Kamala Harris 1- Stacey Abrams 1 – Elizabeth Warren (four way tie for first) 2 through 98 - Anyone not named Clinton 99 – Gretchen Whitmer 1,997,931 – Amy Klobs Literally anybody but Klobs

Belarusians Turn Out for General Strike in Response to Another Corrupt Election

It could get awkward, (Dem "leadership" is so weak they'd rather given in to Trump than fight) but if Trump steals this election widespread protests and a nationwide general strike to cripple the economy are going to be in order.
(CNN)Belarus' main opposition candidate, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, has rejected preliminary election results giving the country's longtime President, Alexander Lukashenko, a landslide election victory with 80% of the vote. "I believe my own eyes, the majority was for us," Tikhanovskaya said in a news conference on Monday, according to multiple local media reports. "We do not recognize the election results. We have seen real protocols. We urge those who believe that their voice was stolen not to remain silent."
Be prepared.
