May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

From 2023-2024, drug OD deaths dropped 24% from 114k to 87k, nearly 30K lives saved because of a Biden Administration program providing free Narcan. The regime wants to axe a 56 million grant to provide Narcan to first responders. OD deaths will skyrocket. This is nothing less than mass murder.

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

There was also a raid on a judge in New Mexico this morning. The Trump Administration is actively targeting judges who do not bend the knee to his whims.
This is what the descent into fascism looks like.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Never forget that the food on your table requires that farmers plant, immigrants labor in the fields, and that the Earth's climate be preserved.
We've moved so far from living in natural rhythm with the earth and our communities. But that did not decrease its importance, only our awareness.

#Easter is an important day for many and sharing a meal is a traditional part of this celebration. People like Betty who harvests carrots in CA’s Central Coast, make these sacred meals possible. #WeFeedYou

As we fight tyranny, we build solidarity. From solidarity, we draw courage. Surrounded by courageous people and institutions, we more easily find courage within ourselves to keep fighting. Remember: tyranny is only possible if people submit to it.
