I used to scoff at the notion of a “General Strike.” But that was before Trump. So many people’s lives are now at stake from this criminal and his cronies and incompetent nominees, I really think it’s not a far fetched option. A sick-out strike with 20,000,000 of us would sure make it clear that this freak show has to end. No one elected this radical deconstruction of America.

Gayle King on CBS: "I don't see many people of color (at the inaguaration)..."

Uh,duh.

The people of color?

They're in the back. The janitorial staff.

They had to enter through the service entrance.

Just like 1954.
