I find myself a little frustrated sometimes that we're all just talking around what we're not doing or maybe not willing to ask people to do because it is a big ask and it's scary to suggest that people put themselves in harms away in that way. And I totally get that. I'm certainly not sitting here in my air condition apartmentitioned apartment directing people, but I feel compelled to say out loud that that's the elephant in the room. I mean, how are you seeing all of this?

No, I absolutely agree with you. On the first point, I hope at one time soon we can all convene around a single third party and get some stuff done. I really hope so.

I have a friend in Gaza I talk to pretty much every day. And he's always like, why can't you all

risk your lives for us, essentially, is what he's saying. If you all care about this, you see

what's happening.

You see our brothers and sisters literally torn apart with their intestines hanging out of their bodies.

You see mothers carrying their decapitated children.

You see this on your phones.

Why can't you just not go to work one day and shut the economy down? And obviously,

we know that it requires a level of labor organization that we don't really have in this country.

Unions are pretty liberalized and not willing to shut their industry down over Gaza.

Yeah, absent a wildcat strike,

that's also the kind of thing that no one's saying.

Look, I'm not a labor organizer.

I'm not a labor expert.

I really don't want to get over my skis on this.

But I am reminded of the political education

that I got when joining workers strike back

and talking about the protests in

1968 and France and how that's I'm not saying like you know the labor people are always like

Brianna protest don't start spontaneously you're a big naive moron like I get it I get it it's

anomalous and you shouldn't rely on that but also there are these historical examples where it did happen that way.
