They're trying to make us blame one another.

IUPAT Twitter post: There are nearly 3 million immigrants in the construction industry, and they deserve the same rights as all other workers. Our union stands with our immigrant members and all working people in this country β an injury to one is an injury to all.
Every union should be echoing this statement.

They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

"Boycotting" an election doesn't send the message that you're unhappy, because it doesn't lose them money like it would for a business. You're not the nation's customer.
Refusing to vote sends the message that you're fine with whatever result you get, that other people can decide for you.
