81% of U.S. adults believe that the Trump administration must comply with federal court orders.

Good. Court orders are not optional.

The 'humanity is committing suicide' takes are such misdirection

The reality is that the capitalist class is committing omnicide
Staggering. We’re not sleep walking into Armageddon. We’re being wilfully blindfolded and fooled there. The warnings are in plain sight. But our inability to enable the values-based system change we so urgently need defeats us. Mostly dominant men abusing us. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

JB Pritzker called for "mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption." May Day -- tomorrow --may be all that. www.headsupnews.org/p/may-day-ra... #maydaystrong
May Day rallies could open a new chapter of resistance
The goal is not just protest, but disruption: 'No business as usual.'

🚨Today is May Day — a global day of worker resistance. These historic protests are led by May Day Strong - a coalition of workers, immigrants, students, and grassroots organizers from across the country. 50501 is not the sole organizer, we are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with May Day Strong.

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.

BIG NEWS: A jury has reached a verdict that Greenpeace entities are liable for over $660 million in damages in our trial against Big Oil company Energy Transfer.

This is far from over. We’re going to appeal. And we’re prepared to fight this all the way to victory.

Incredibly important to understand the actual limits of presidential (and impoundment) power. Thank you @protectdemocracy.org for this timely resource:
NEW: Our report dives deep into the history of the president’s role in spending taxpayer dollars. Bottom line: Trump’s OMB Director Russ Vought is wrong on the law, wrong on history.

This is exactly what this classic cartoon says:
Reuters: Energy Secretary says global warming is just a side effect of the modern economy. "Everything in life involves trade-offs. Everything."

In this case, trading money for the destruction of the climate.

Donald Trump is ignoring the constitution to go after his political enemies.
