Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights?

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.

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks.

I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly.

Solidarity to these workers.

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

While the United States has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies.

Why?

He wants more power — and in the process, he’s subjecting millions to real harm.

America’s actual national emergency is Donald J. Trump.

In my experience, the best administrators have both knowledge and experience in the area(s) under their purview.

Having a non-scientist "leading" a department reliant on actual science (not junk science) was an idea that should have been stopped before it got started. Ignorance is not bliss.

“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks.

“I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare.

“I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status.
