Unions best weapon is the right to go to the streets.
It is great to see our unions out in the streets with the public protesting ICE and the abuses they are using against innocent people and the things ICE are doing, like killing people.
We must keep supporting these protests around the country. If we back down and lose the right to protest we, the unions, will lose the biggest weapon we have—our right to go to the street when we are wronged by the corporations or the government.
So we can never lose this weapon of union labor and the people.
Union members know that Trump and his corporate buddies do not like or want unions so why in the hell would any union member support or vote for any person who runs as a Republican Trump supporter--Trump and the GOP hate unions?
If this is what you support then just go nonunion and lose all the benefits unions have fought for and become one of the poorly educated that Trump “loves,” though he’s incapable of any emotion aside from greed.
Unions don’t need members who don’t support unions and who don’t have our workers’ backs when the real fight begins, which is coming and this will be all hands on deck. We can’t rely on our politicians since they have as yet to use the laws on the books that would rein this mad man in. This is an all hands on deck to win the mid-term elections and those in 2028. Trump wants to be king and is trashing our established norms in his quest to achieve the throne.
We will be in the streets and all must trust and support each other to win.
ICE is not about just rounding up the brown people. It is Trump’s own private army just like Hitler’s Brown Shirts were.
All I ask is if you don’t believe me, just Google Hitler’s Brown Shirts and America’s Silver Shirts. They are the same and they don’t like unions or people having the freedom to make decisions on who they vote for as leader of this country.

Let's prove Sigmund Freud wrong when he said, "Most people do not want freedom, because freedom involves responsibilty."
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 ...
