Workers around the world rallied Wednesday to mark May Day, with many calling on the labor movement to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian cause. In New York, Democracy Now! spoke to demonstrators who demanded that U.S. unions apply political pressure for a ceasefire in Gaza and to stop their government's arms trade with Israel. "Workers do have the power to shape the world," said Palestinian researcher Riya Al'sanah, who was among thousands gathered at a May Day rally in Manhattan.

No genocide on my tax dollars

All across the entire western countries.
They get now told that this is a Leftist movement xD They try to project the hate against LGBTQ+ on protesters that dont want their tax money to go to wars now ...
Reminds me of the anti-Viet Nam war protests when I was their age. We had an uphill climb initially. We protested from high school to college or work, wherever we were in life. I love these young people, their courage, compassion, and tenacity makes me proud. I am a Jewish elder who supports the rights of Palestinians to life and for the total divestment of money from colleges, businesses and our government. Although I can't march any more, I stand with you, my young brothers and sisters. Much love!!
Thank you for your marches and your spirit !!! 🙏🏽💜
God bless you and your fellow brothers and sisters who understand Palestinians struggle..- ✌️ Peace
God bless you
You sir have a beautiful soul, May God bring happy and healthy to you and your Families 🙏

Well said young man🇨🇦❤❤🇵🇸
Thanks Amy for your channel
I was a Vietnam War student protestor. Thank you for your understanding and voicing of the source of the students' protest as motivated by compassion for humans who are suffering and dying and your unveiling of the way the university administration requested police responses have been vastly disproportionate and have prejudiced the public against the protesters!! Mahalo!

A beautiful sight to behold.
students from all over the world who stand with justice and humanity. You can change the world if you think. Let's protest as much as we can until the people of Palestine get justice. We can change the world tomorrow if we think. So let's make our protest known to the whole world. Let us protest until they get justice
Yes, the young can and do change the world. But be careful who you follow. What’s the end game? What the plan? The people you want to free hate you, and I mean HATE you. No women’s rights, no LBGTQ rights, no rights to protest. They celebrated 911, they want death to America and the West.
And let’s have free all oppressed people, let’s free The Yemen, Sudan and Syria from death at the hands of their fellow Muslims.
We all want peace. Let’s all work, learn, teach, and protect each other. Boy-cott everything that is evil and not right.

Amen
Millions ❤🇵🇸🕊
The fervor of justice and humanity is shining, throughout our comom folk, that aren't easily persuaded by the powerful propaganda framing, the power of the people must not be underestimated

Remember that the government called the national guard on coal miners who went on strike for a 30 hour work week and 60% wage increase in 1919 - we need to prepare for them to do it again.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
That about covers it. Well done for taking the time to write this all out. We the people are petitioning and until the Government redresses our grievances, we won't back down. Stand your ground!

RW-politics are pro-wealthy-class & anti-working-class politics.
Vote RW-extremist Repubs, for the fast, open-road from capitalism to fascism.
Vote moderate-RW Dems, for the slower, disguised-road from capitalism to fascism.
Definitely in need of a pro-working-class & anti-wealthy-class political party.
The students were right during the Vietnam war protests against an unjust war and right again this time protesting against the killing of children in Gaza. “🎶All they are saying is give peace a chance🎶” John Lennon
They are hardly peaceniks. Peaceniks don't shout genocidal slogans. Israel says "Never Again", some of these students say Oct 7 "Again and Again".
❤🙏
Amen
@@user-xu5vl5th9n So, theres video footage of EVERYTHING now. Lets' see it. I'Ve seen footage of guys holding an Israeli flag, at a demonstration yelling things like "Kill the J**s!" "Any body else on board!?" and getting shouted down. 200 of the demonstraters were rounded up and arrested though with these two walking.
Israel isn't giving peace a chance, that's for damn sure. And the conflict didn't begin on 7Oct2024 . . .
Love you free ppl ❤️
I’m so proud of the bravery and courage of the Young People of the World who are fighting for
LOVE and PEACE!
Dear Lord please protect them from harm. Amen!
They are not fighting for peace. They are funded by a terrorist group whose motto is "death to America." It is that young people are dumb enough to buy the lie and allow themselves to be used as pawns.
Amen!

Our hearts are with these brave young people
the oppressors don't really believe that God exists. they did not plan for God to awaken the hearts of the world.
god didn't. modern communication technologies did
Billions have the same technology but they have humanity and a heart.
True
Amen
The most beautiful thing about these events is the number of women and young women leading the protests. ❤🎉💪🏻
Got to admit, some of them are hot.
Solidarity with the hostages is the only way to peace palestine and Israel should agree that Hamas is wrong for holding hostages, as much as isreal is wrong to mistreat Palestinians ty

Free Palestine
The biggest honor of my life, and something that I am proud of, is that I stand on the right side of history.
Not on the side of the dark world. During my life I was active in several campaigns, the first of which was the anti-Vietnam war, in which we won. The second was against apartheid, in which we also won. Now, it is the campaign to free Palestine.
I consider this more important than the others because now we are against apartheid, war, genocide, and racism all together.
And I promise you that we will win this time too.

Worker standards of living have been stolen slowly for the last 45 years starting with Reagan but the theft has a increased speedily since 2008 while corporations held wages increases to minimum, stripped working people of their right to organize and just put them in dire financial situations to increase corporate profit for the benefit of the corporate police state.

ya fail at facts, evidence and examples - - - Biden’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Budget will be released this coming Monday, March 11 (35 days late). While we wait, the House Budget Committee is analyzing data from last year’s budget and its impact on federal spending:
By the Numbers:
The President’s FY2024 budget proposed the highest sustained levels of spending in U.S. history:
$82.2 trillion in spending over ten years, eclipsing 24.8% of GDP.
This is $21 trillion higher than the pre-Biden CBO projection.
As a share of the economy, this is 18% more spending than the historical average of the past half century (21.1%). < > BUDGET COMMITTEE
@@ChrisHarding-lk3jj In FY2024 alone, Biden requested $6.9 trillion in spending, an increase of $748 billion over the already-bloated final FY 2023 spending level ($6.1 trillion) - that’s a 12.2% increase in just one year.
Non-defense spending, including Biden’s progressive pet project wishlist, would rise to an unprecedented 22.7% of GDP.
Entitlement programs would grow at an average yearly rate of 7.7% from the already-unsustainable 2023 level.
Meanwhile, spending for national defense would fall to just 2.5% of GDP, the lowest level since before Pearl Harbor.
Bottom Line:
President Biden’s reckless spending agenda is a threat to our national security and America’s way of life.
It threatens to destabilize today’s economy and rob future generations of Americans of the blessings of liberty that make our nation exceptional. BUDGET COMMITTEE
@@ChrisHarding-lk3jj BIDEN CLAIM: “President Biden and Congressional Democrats’ plan to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out, not the top down, is delivering for the American people. President Biden and Congressional Democrats have worked together to grow the economy and create a record number of jobs.” The President says that his Administration has: “Created more than 13 million jobs; brought the unemployment rate below 4 percent four years before experts projected and kept it there for the longest period in more than 50 years; and achieved record low unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanics, people with disabilities - and the lowest unemployment rate in 70 years for women.”
FACT CHECK: Recovery Versus Creation
Nearly 72 percent of all job gains since 2021 were simply jobs that were being recovered from the pandemic, not new job creation. In fact, when looking at today’s economy compared to pre-pandemic levels, employment is up only by 3.7 million, not 13 million.
On the other hand, in his first 2.5 years, job creation under President Trump was 5 million-1.3 million more jobs than the current President in the same time frame after factoring in the recovery from pandemic.
BIDEN CLAIM: “(President Biden) proved that a strong recovery and support for households brings more people into the workforce: a higher share of working age Americans are in the workforce now than at any time in more than 20 years and higher than on any day of the prior Administration.”
FACT CHECK: Labor force participation was stronger under President Trump.
The labor force participation rate remains 0.7 percentage points lower under Biden than it was when President Trump was in office.
When adjusting for population gains, nearly 2 million more Americans are on the sidelines today than they were during the previous Administration.
All the power to all the people!

TQ Amy & Democracy Now team..for all the effort bring truthful news to the world.
FREEDOM FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🙏🙏
Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Deborah. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
What opportunities are there in the market, and how do I profit from it?
You can make a lot of money from the
market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.
I would really like to know how this actually works.
All you need is a good capital and the
service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.
BRAVO! ⚡🔥⚡🔥
global solidarity for all working people! we are the 99%!
Me encantan las luchas Universitarias, ellos están despiertos y su conciencia es más fuerte que la ambición . Palestina somos todos los humanos…

It's Actually LOYALTY DAY.
Loyalty Day is observed on May 1 in the United States. It was proclaimed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower as a day for declaring loyalty to the United States of America and to acknowledge American history.
Incredible organizing! It took decades and billions for Israel. These students came together in months. Stay on the path of our Father and he will guide your steps. You are stronger than the thugs. Be strong and brave. Peace be with you!
ZZZZZZZZZZZ another CRT NO FACTS rhetoric ?? - - - The Biden administration’s failure to fully enforce its sanctions against Iran is helping the Islamist regime in Tehran survive an unprecedented challenge to its authority while it doubles down on its aggressive foreign policy by sending weapons and forces for use against Ukraine and threatening to attack Saudi Arabia.
Tehran’s success in acquiring hard currency is directly related to the Biden administration’s decision not to enforce existing U.S. sanctions and impose new ones. And yet those financial resources are now critical to the regime’s ability to avert economic collapse and to buy the loyalty of its base at a time when an ever-growing share of Iranian society is in active opposition. One example: in recent days the Islamic Consultative Assembly passed a law that increased the salary of beleaguered security forces by 20 percent.
Since September 16, Iran has been the scene of widespread, revolutionary protests in all provinces and major cities. The latest estimates are that at least 300 protesters, including 47 minors, have been killed and more than 14,000 arrested. So far, neither protesters nor the regime has prevailed. They are engaged in a war of wills. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei hopes protesters, facing brutal violence, will be demoralized and go home before the security forces crack under pressure.
To minimize casualties, protesters are using a pincer movement of demonstrations and labor strikes to bring down the regime. Labor strikes have spread beyond schools and colleges and are happening in the oil, gas, petrochemical, and steel industries, among others. While these strikes are not yet widespread enough to trigger an economic collapse, their fallout-combined with the protests-has been significant.
Determined enforcement of U.S. sanctions could help drive the regime into a corner. Instead, in October Tehran exported almost 1.2 million barrels per day of crude oil, much of it to China, one of the highest export totals of the last twelve months. Tehran also exported $28 billion of non-oil goods from March to October, 10 percent more than its non-oil exports in the same period last year. FEDERATION IN DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACIES
