Trump will manage to get out of legal trouble by the help of the most third powerful person on earth: Leonard Leo, who is the co-chair of the Federalist Society, who picks most all of the trial judges and most of the corrupt U.S. Supreme Court justices.
Leo and his billionaire friends own the Supreme Court, and they are opposed to voter rights, unions, LGBTQ rights, abortion and contraception.
They have spent $43 million for Leo’s nonprofit, which serves conservative political figures and groups, and it has made Leo a very rich person.
So, if Trump would ever get his case to the Supreme Court, there is no doubt that he would win.
Our country is at a tipping point, will we be a country of laws that is not bought by the billionaires, or will we be a theocracy ruled by guns.
If we want a land of laws for the people, how do we get it back, and hold onto it if we don’t have voting rights?
This 2024 election might just be the most important election in our lifetime. So all working people and union brothers and sisters must come together and vote for the good of the people and of our country. All union members must do what is best for their families and the unions. This is an “Us against Them—the mega rich,” who think they can buy whatever they want like a city, county, state or federal government without our say, and they will buy all the radio, television stations and newspapers to spout their propaganda.
It’s imperative we read our history, study our laws, and vote for our best interests. The unions are our most important way to win. Get smart. Think smart. And vote smart.
The young voters are leaving us in the dust. Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School in Parkland, FL shooting survivor David Hogg with other young people started the organization, Leaders We Deserve. Recognizing that “Our political system is stacked against young people—in favor of those who are older, wealthier and white.”
This group is engaging with and registering Millennial and Generation-Z people to vote, and run for office. These groups held 21 percent of state legislative seats but are representing 45 percent of the electorate. They’re looking toward Congress and more state legislative seats.
We can join them or sit back and watch them do what we could have done.
Yes, they are coming for us. Workers need to have one another’s backs because no one else will. Neither the broader labor movement nor the Democratic party are prepared to meet the urgency of this moment. So it’s going to fall upon the rest of us to mount a real resistance against Trump’s authoritarian takeover. We’re going to have to get our hands dirty. I don’t care if you have a good, well-paying union job and you are in the middle class now—if you see a worker being dragged out of his workplace regardless of how skilled the job and potentially taken to another country, you should be ready to be there for that worker. When I.C.E. shows up, gather around and shame them into leaving. It has worked in other places. America is sleep walking into authoritarianism, and if there’s anyone out there who is a member of a labor union that is safe—at this point— and doesn’t think this applies to them. Understand that they just haven’t gotten to you yet. They’re coming for all of us. There are ...
