In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Sticker for 1932 Detroit #MayDay parade. Printed 5 years before the @uaw.org formed and in the aftermath of the Ford Hunger March massacre, it speaks to the violence autoworkers endured to unionize their industry. From the Joe Brown Papers at the @reutherlibrary.bsky.social.

Sticker for May Day parade starting at Ferry and Russell in Detroit, with a drawing of a big tank labeled "Ford" firing multiple cannons at picketing workers. Printed by the United Front May Day Committee.

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

We know community is our most valued resource, so why are we so ready to dispose of each other, particularly in these tenuous socio-political times? We need to find a smarter solution, and Ross contends that calling in is the answer.
