""We're not going to have one magic solution to the problem that ails us," Raskin said on Sunday. "It's not going to be the courts, or the House, or the Senate, or the people in the movements. It's going to be all of it together.""
"Everybody needs to be working in unison to defend constitutional democracy and freedom in the country, against this authoritarian clampdown, and the unleashing of state terror against our people in the communities in America."
"Raskin: "I think the people have Minnesota have shown us with their mass demonstration and general strike the direction that we may need to go in nationally in order to send the message that American society does not accept this authoritarian derailment of the US Constitution." - Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-25T20:57:30.339Z"
A nationwide general strike was proposed as a possible tactic to oppose President Donald Trump's perceived authoritarianism and to defend constitutional democracy. The strike was framed as one element among multiple efforts, not a standalone solution, and should be coordinated with courts, Congress, and movement organizing. Mass demonstrations and a statewide general strike in Minnesota were highlighted as a potential model for national action. The proposal called for unified, multilateral resistance to counter an alleged authoritarian clampdown and warned against the unleashing of state terror in American communities. Organizers also demanded suspension of normal business to halt ICE actions.
