He wants working people to feel helpless and divided.
Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power.
Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.

Inside a Virginia ICE office: One meal a day, 40 people in a room and no bathing for days

The U.S. is gutting its future. NSF research grants are down 51%—the steepest drop in decades. Trump’s admin is canceling funding for climate science, STEM education, and even approved projects. The cost? A generation of lost discoveries.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.
But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.
