SEATTLE — Socialist Seattle city council member Kshama Sawant is calling for a wave of protests and strikes on May Day this year against President Donald Trump and his policies.
Sawant penned an article in the socialist publication Jacobin Magazine titled Why We Should Strike on May Day.
“Since Inauguration Day, millions of people have taken to the streets to fight against Donald Trump’s right-wing agenda. Yet the president is continuing his attacks,” she wrote.
Sawant called for rank-and-file union members and labor leaders to bring forth resolutions to strike on May 1. She also called for “mass peaceful civil disobedience that shuts down highways, airports, and other key infrastructure.”
In the article, Sawant said it “will not be enough to play defense.” She referenced Trump’s travel ban saying the “‘chaos’ we created at the nation’s airports gives a hint of what’s possible.”
“We will not defeat Trump in one day alone. But a nationwide strike on May Day would, without a doubt, represent an enormous step forward for our movement.
Let’s seize the time and make this May Day a turning point in the struggle to bring down this dangerous administration and put forward the type of politics than can challenge the rule of the billionaire class.”
May Day in Seattle is historically a day of peaceful protests during the day followed by violent protests at night.
Gear up. Defend the Republic.
Nationwide strike?
Nationwide mass firing!
That's why they like to dance around a May Pole like a bunch of fairies.
Kshama Sawant is looking a bit stubbly...
She(?) forgot to shave.
Perhaps that’s why her marriage didn’t work out. 8>)

Oh I so hope they do this.

Women like this are control freaks that seek power over men. It’s biblical. They’re waring against God: Genesis 3:16.
I think that the Seattle socialists should burn down Seattle. That would show President Trump how miffed they are.

That is not peaceful. It attacks the rights of others. Qualifies as domestic terrorism, imo.
Kshama Sawant is what you’d expect - an ugly 50 IQ Marxist ape. Trump supporters will crush this soulless piece of goosestepping, America-hating trash. Come and get your due, Marxist/Nazi whore.
