“Where are the pitchforks? President Donald Trump’s administration has declared open season on the working class. Its henchmen have unleashed kidnappings by state agents, worksite raids that spread terror and stifle workplace militancy, massive federal layoffs, funding cuts with devastating consequences and attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as efforts to eliminate collective bargaining rights wholesale. The array of assaults may appear dizzying, but that’s by design: Confusion, division, fear and hopelessness are classic boss tactics, intended to silence dissent and chill organizing. We’re now seeing them on a national scale, as Trump and his cronies work to consolidate power while handing out tax cuts for billionaire pals and giving corporations carte blanche to fleece the public and the services they depend on (including access to medical care). The end game is oligarchy.” (04/30/25)
