        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.

                    I feel you. Ive been way sadder this week than I thought Id be.

                    Im sure you know, but its ok to take a long break, not read the news at all and just turn your brain off for as long as you need to sometimes

            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.

              I bet Trump thinks it would make a good golf course or some dumb nonsense but yeah this could pretty much end up getting the US booted from Nato and at war with it.

      It’s roughly 10% of our US steel supply (or around 40% of all of our steel imports)…meaning prices are going to start going up. This is going to hurt…
