How Republics Die

There is no reason for a Republic to die, It should live as long as the masses want. There is not given life span. Republics will live or die by the choices of the people we put in change of our Republic’s custody if the people who we put in charge are selfish, greedy and just want power, and people still voted for these people. This simply encouraged more extreme misbehavior and the masses saw this and nothing year after year and election after election with increasing extreme behaviors. In some countries, each president took more power until they did not leave, they became president for life, like Vlad Putin of Russia, Xi Jinping of China and Kim Jung-un of North Korea. These rulers have shown the way to undercut the power of the Republics and the people. Our rule of law is jeopardized by our elected people taking bribes in exchange for their votes. So, when we, for whatever reason, supported or refused to condemn and hold these people accountable, we are just giving away our Republic, and this could all could have been avoided by the people understanding how and why this was happening, and who has laid the plans to take over our government. Some of these people who want to exercise control over our government include corporations, some are extremely wealthy people who own television stations, news media, social media and radio programs. The next will be ‘do or die’ on both sides. The GOP versus the people, and in order for the people to win, Democrats and unions must stand together in how we vote and fight for if any result is challenged to the U.S. Supreme Court, we will lose just like we did in Bush v Gore. The next two elections are the most important elections this country will ever face. For we could lose the right to unionize, minimum wage, Postal Service, corrupt-free elections that cannot be reversed, our climate crisis and Social Security and what little health care we have, just to name a few. Healthcare is run by greedy companies and providing limited services could be abolished in favor of universal healthcare like the people of Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Isle of Man, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom, so why can’t we have the same? We’re supposed to be the richest country in the world yet we treat our people worst than most people treat their pets. There are people who should be in jail at this time for what they did at the Capitol Building ad for shooting people they disagree with for one reason or another. If they get away with what they’ve done, it will be open season on Democrats and unions, and people of color. Think I’m exaggerating, consider none of the republicans who plotted with donald trump to overturn the election and the Insurrection at the Capitol Building have not been held accountable. Congressman paul gosar released an anime video of him killing Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the teenager, whose mother drove him across state lines with an AR-style weapon whereupon he murdered two and injured one Black Lives Matter demonstrators, or Julius Jones, a black man facing execution in Oklahoma despite all the evidence that points to his innocent; or the three on trial for killing a man for jogging while black.

Fight or Perish

In 2012 more than a quarter of all political contributions came from just 30,000 people who represented the 1 percent of the 1 percent, 90 percent who spent the most won. Today, we are an experiment in either a democracy, which started in 1787 or an oligarchy, which is winning. The nonunion people, like Trump and Musk, have most all the tools in their pockets to destroy our unions. They have money, they have the courts, they have law enforcement, they have the media, and 50 percent of workers that don’t know this don’t know the history of the working class people. This is the perfect storm to lose all the gains workers have made whether they’re union or not, even our Social Security and Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act. So, now we will have to go way back to the late 1920s and ‘30s and dig up the old labor party books. One book, written in 1964, has the information, The Rebel Voices, an IWW Anthology by Joyce L. Kornbluh, educator, activist, and advocate. The history of our labor...

Project 2025 will be the Death of Unions

Each blog I write from here on out could be my last. I don’t know if or when they will shut me down, but I will keep the blog going for as long as I can. I’m not engaging in hyperbole, not with what is coming at us in January. We need to protect and defend the National Labor Relations Board. When Trump was last in office, he systematically eliminated workers’ rights to join unions and negotiate collective bargaining with employers—this not only hurt employees, but their communities and the economy overall. Trump weakened worker protections and actively worked at eliminating rules that protected workers. We need to keep the NLRB for all workers, for organizing workers and nonunion workers and build a workers’ union that is much stronger than the MAGA or the old Tea Party. Our unions will fight and win. The benefits unions fight for eventually work their way down to nonunion workers. If MAGAs weren’t so hellbent on owning the Libs, they, too, would enjoy a four-day work-week with full p...

Support Those Unionizing

Workers are still unionizing their workplaces so here is a shoutout to the nurses at the University Medical Center, a private hospital in New Orleans and the only level-one trauma center. The nurses held a one-day strike, but had been bargaining with the hospital for eight months regarding workplace concerns, such as safety and more money. There are about 600 nurses, considered the backbone of all hospitals, working at UMC. All of our unions should be giving them our support in any way that helps them succeed. If the election doesn’t go blue, this type of worker protests could very well end if the election goes red. This year with our president’s and vice president’s support of unions, there have been some big wins for labor. If we lose, the National Labor Relations Board will be eliminated and all states will become right to work states, which is the kiss of death to unions. Today, twenty-seven states have right to work laws, which prohibits union contracts. Right to work is a new t...
