So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations?

On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday.

This 2017 article could not be more relevant (e.g., efforts to eliminate DoEd and cut Medicaid). THIS: "Our disagreement is not merely political, but a fundamental divide on what it means to live in a society, how to be a good person, and why any of that matters."

There was a resistance with bloody battles 2 weeks after Hitler took power. The anti-Nazis were mostly identified (and written off) as “Communists”, a tool that has influenced American politics for decades. #historymatters #hitler100days #retropolis #100dayshitler #nazi #hitler #communist #redscare
