On Friday, workers, students, parents, immigrants, educators, union members, and exhausted citizens with functioning moral compasses are expected to take action across the country under the banner of May Day Strong. The demand is simple enough to fit on a protest sign and apparently still too complicated for billionaires to understand: workers over billionaires.
Organizers are calling for “No Work. No School. No Shopping,” with as many as 3,000 actions expected nationwide. Rallies, marches, teach-ins, walkouts, and economic-blackout actions are planned in all 50 states, a reminder that authoritarianism does not just arrive with troops in the streets. Sometimes it arrives as a budget cut, a deportation raid, a union-busting campaign, a school closure, a tariff tantrum, or another war sold as strength by men who will never pay the price.
The message from May Day is not subtle, and thank God for that. Tax the rich. Defend public schools. Protect immigrant families. Stop ICE. Stop the wars. Expand democracy, not corporate power. After months of Trump governing like a wrecking ball with a press office, May Day is shaping up as a national refusal to keep pretending any of this is normal.
The point of a shutdown is to show who actually keeps the country running. It is not the billionaires, the courtiers, the crypto grifters, or the golf-cart Caesars pointing kings at their carpet marks. It has always been workers. On May Day, an actual weekday, no polite weekend rally, they intend to remind everyone.
The Target boycott worked well. They lost $15.6 billion dollars and is now labelled “not a safe investment”. It has sustained permanent brand damage.
Its quite true isn’t it
If all entry level workers went on strike the nation would shut down and panic ensue
There are rolling protests across America, which the MSM aren’t covering but they are coming through on social media, and when you turn up to an Irish class and the Irish Americans have been arrested at the lastest protest so they aren’t coming or are coming late.
I did enjoy the frog suit, the salsa dancing, the disco dancing and all the costumes that they are wearing.
