      Let him. Stelco has regulations to follow. He can shut it down and then nobody gets steel and start fucking with trade agreements, but big corps aren’t gonna like his scorched earth tactics.

      Let him burn it all to the ground so we can start moving the economy away from the US.

          That’s why we as citizens need to organize and stand together in solidarity. Don’t depend on institutions to fight back.

              with minimal effort

              no, none of my action items are minimum effort, sorry. Defending democracy will never be a low strain activity. I’m organizing unions in my workplace by following the disruptive and worker-led Minnesota Model of organizing. We workers make the world go round. As the US labor movement gears up for a genuine general strike in 2028 (yes, we’re following through with Fain’s call to action), we need unions of all stripes to form. Labor unions, tenant unions, debtor unions, etc. Then after forming, we need unprecedented inter-union cooperation. It’s ok to be tired and burnt out. Let yourself recover, and then continue the good fight.

              So, to me it’s the shield over the sword.

              You can do so much more good protecting, sharing resources, building community programs, etc. If they burn the country down to ash, well your oasis might survive.

              Then for aggressive stuff, non-compliance would be way more effective. Think simple sabotage manual, a bit of sand really grinds up the gears of fascism.

          Wait until they see what other countries are willing to tolerate to decouple from the Nazi bully country.

          Made in the USA is a mark of avoidance. Fuck visiting your country. I will sign up to die to defend Greenland from you for our friends the Dutch Danes.

          Edit: I’ll die for the Dutch or Danes against Trump.
