I think we should be very suspicious of the #memes and posts calling for #blackfolks to "rest" to not showup and showout at #protests. We know that #divideandconquer is the oldest trick in the #oppressor playbook. #blacklivesmatter #BlackMastodon #TrumpLiesMatter #GeneralStrike

Immigrant rights groups, labor unions plan May Day march to demand end to Trump's mass deportations

By Beth Godvik, April 17, 2025

"Activists for immigrant rights gathered at Federal Plaza in #Chicago on Thursday morning to prepare for a protest rally and march next month to demand the Trump administration halt mass deportation efforts.

"The Chicago Coalition Against the #Trump Agenda – a group of labor unions and community organizations – said they plan a massive march on May Day, the annual May 1 holiday celebrating workers and their rights.

" 'The very constitutional pillars of First Amendment protections are under attack,' said Chicago Teachers Union vice president Jackson Potter.

"This year, many marches have been planned to focus on immigrants, including at Union Park in Chicago.

"The May Day march in Union Park will urge the Trump administration to end mass deportations of immigrants immediately.

" 'That is why we will be marching in the thousands in broad coalition on #May1 to ensure we are rising up and protecting the rights of immigrants and migrants,' said Nazek Sankari, co-chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network Chicago.

"Organizers plan to begin the march at 11 a.m. on May 1 as part of an effort to mark #InternationalWorkersDay with events all across the country.

" 'This May 1 participation by our unions will be a representation of our stepping forward further into this fight, along with every other worker across the world,' said Loreen Targos, executive vice president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 704."

Aside from being a HUGE day of protest here in the USA, today (April 19, 2025) is coincidentally my mother's 100th birthday. If she were still with us here on Planet Earth, I'm sure she'd be out on the streets, handing out blotter acid and shooting paint-balls at fascist pigs...

To all of you who made it into the streets today: thank you immensely from all of us here at Rodent Central.

Next stop: #GeneralStrike!

There is a website asking for Personal Information to sign up for a #GeneralStrike in the US.

By the sisters of Anarchy and Revolution, at most call your friends and coworkers over Signal to organise.

But seeing they are your friends and coworkers and you are going to do something in real life, talk to them IN REAL LIFE!

DO NOT, I repeat NOT commit your email, zip code, name and phone number to a central database. Don’t even put in fake info, as you will do that from a device you own.

How bloody naive can people be?!

As the president lays waste to the rule of law, too many americans are experiencing 'Gleichschaltung'--being brought into line"
