One day of boycotts on the 28th wasn’t even close to enough.
It needs to be a near total economic blackout except for stocking up on staple foods combined with a General Strike. We don’t just need Depression Era recipes, we need depression era recipes aimed at cooking and feeding hundreds at once. It’s going to take that level of commitment of mutual aid teams cooking for their community all day every day.
Look, violence is coming anyway but we don’t need to demand the violence first. We can make great headway with non-violence and that gives us time to organize and prepare and have people ready to stand watch and protect when the violence comes.
It’s good but it’s also par for the course for Washington state which tends to have a vibrant protest culture ingrained into it already.
They used to say an Evergreen Stage College graduation ceremony wasn’t normal if there wasn’t a protest. Evergreen also is in the state capitol so student protests used to be the norm. (Not so much now, Evergreen has fallen on hard times and low enrollment)
So once again while good… Call me when people in red states are protesting… And it is kind of underwhelming turnout for a Washington state protest, honestly.
