Paying Attention™ Secret Word

Don’t Tell Anybody…Tell Everybody

April 29, 2026

In case you haven’t heard, there is good trouble afoot this week. Hundreds of concerned citizen groups are calling for a nationwide day of economic disruption on May 1^st, which is this Friday. 

May 1^st, May Day is historically the day of the worker. The day of the People. Well, we the people are getting stomped, screwed and skewered by this criminal, fascist administration. It is not the first time, but it is one of the worst times. We need to keep showing them we are paying attention. That we have had enough of their shit. That we are ready to take back the power they stole.

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! May Day.

Close your business. Call out sick. Skip school. Buy nothing.

May Day Strong:
                      No Work,
                             No School,
                                    No Shopping

Power of, by and for the people!

Unlike all the rallies, marches and protests of the past year or so, this time you don’t even have to go anywhere or do anything. In fact, that’s the point. This is the easiest, and perhaps most direct, and if done en masse, most effective display of displeasure and people power yet.

All we have to do is: STAY HOME. Or possibly join others in the streets if the spirit moves you. But mainly, don’t work, don’t go to school, don’t go shopping or buy online, don’t support the workings of the system. For just one day. For now.

Feel free to not get off your ass. All you need to do is nothing. Let’s show them who is in charge. Let’s shut this whole thing down.
