Thousands expected to rally nationwide Thursday against Trump ‘war on working people’

Those planning to participate in the rallies have argued that Trump’s actions have harmed America’s working class, citing mass layoffs within the federal workforce and spending reductions under the Department of Government Efficiency and its chief adviser, tech billionaire Elon Musk.
The 50501 organization, which was responsible for several other nationwide demonstrations, is helping to coordinate the May 1 events in Arizona, Oregon, New York, South Dakota and other states.
“Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself,” the organization wrote in a statement, shared on their website promoting the protests. “They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.”
“This May Day we are standing united,” it continues. “This is a war on working people—and we will not back down. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers.”
Each rally has a different focus, with some promoting the Tesla Takedown movement to encourage people to divest from Musk’s electric vehicle company, while others are aimed at protecting schools amid the White House’s threats of withholding funds over diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, uplifting labor unions and in support of workers amid Trump’s crackdown on immigration.
“We will build a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety — regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status,” 50501 wrote on its website, adding in bold letters, “STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW.” LINK

Their premise that the federal government has any business being the size it is and as powerful as it has been is false AF.
The US Government of 2024 would scare the ever-living frick out of the Founding Fathers.

Commies always rally on May Day.
Overpaid, underworked government employees losing their jobs is not a tragedy. Clinton did the same thing and not a peep from these guys.

That seals it!
I said to myself that "if I see one more group of grumpy blue haired people with faces that look like they fell into a tackle box on the streets with crappy signs, I'd regret my vote and only vote for the party that thinks men can give birth in the future."
Guess they showed me. I'm a hard core leftist now....

Nothing says pro US worker like trying to destroy a company who produces a higher percent of its cars in the US than any other
“Safety” - “fair wages”
Doesn’t want to deport foreign gangsters or make US companies more competitive with tariffs
These people are retarded in the literal sense.

Their job is going to rallies and protest, they are all paid actors.

This is why companies and states are starting to shut down the work from home concept.

DEI hires and political-based employment. At some point, given the numbers of printed money that is needed to pay these 'workers' (many of the whom don't even show up or can attest to any work that they have done) is going to crash the whole Private Economy. Just the interest on the exponentially increasing debt will assure that.
And that is the plan/strategy of the Marxist Egalitarian Left..."engineered collapse". The Left believes that they can control said collapse, but that is a long shot given the history and nature of the people that formed the Constitutional Republic and the economic and spiritual freedoms therein.
Today's "Rally" will be tomorrow's violent revolt. Hell, the Left burned and pillaged cities in Trump's first term and this Administration is ten times more activist.
