Protesters Join ‘Milwaukee Trumps Hate’ Rally and March To Say NO to the Racist Anti-Worker Trump Agenda
Overpass Light Brigade We joined tonight’s Milwaukee Trumps Hate rally and march. Donald Trump was scheduled to speak tonight in Milwaukee at Harley Davidson, but once the company realized the scope of the protests being planned during the trip they asked Trump not to come and instead went and met Trump in DC. Nice work MKE!

How MKE Welcomed the Trump Administration
URGENT – Put Students First – Vote No on DeVos
SEND EMAIL: http://bit.ly/2kwAGUi
The final vote could happen as soon as Saturday, and every call counts. Your senator could cast the deciding vote to block DeVos. Call now: 1-855-882-6229
Betsy DeVos – President Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of education – has no experience with public schools. She’s never worked as an educator or in a public school in any capacity. She didn’t attend public schools, and did not send her children to public schools.
Instead, she has spent her career working to undermine public education. DeVos has lobbied and bankrolled failed schemes like vouchers, which take money away from public schools to fund private schools at taxpayers’ expense and with little to no accountability. By nominating Betsy DeVos, the incoming Trump administration is demonstrating it does not share our vision of public education and what works best for students, parents, and communities.
Tell your senators that we need an experienced, qualified secretary of education who actually wants to strengthen and improve all public schools. Contact your senators now, and tell them to vote NO on Betsy DeVos.

Days after New York yellow cab drivers went on strike to protest President Trump’s executive order on immigration, another community of immigrants central to the life of the city are planning a strike of their own. Bodega owners — a trade dominated by Yemeni Americans in New York City — plan to close their doors on Thursday to show their opposition to the ban.
The strike is planned from 12-8 p.m., so morning coffee and egg-and-cheeses will be be unaffected. Organizers say more than 1,000 Yemeni American grocery store owners across the five boroughs plan to participate.
Yemeni Americans are heavily represented in the New York bodega scene, and many have family members still in the process of applying for residency, whose visa applications are now on hold.
“This shutdown of grocery stores and bodegas will be a public show of the vital role these grocers and their families play in New York’s economic and social fabric,” the strike organizers wrote on Facebook. During the shutdown, grocery store owners will spend time with their families and loved ones to support each other; many of these families have been directly affected by the Ban.”
At a planned event on Thursday evening, at Brooklyn Borough Hall, “merchants will share the impact the Ban has had on them and their loved ones,” as well as “stories read on behalf of families who are afraid to come forward.”
They also plan a public call to prayer at sundown.
The blood of Donbass is now on Trump’s hands
Donetsk and Lugansk are again under fierce attack from the U.S.-funded and -armed Ukrainian junta. Civilians and troops are being killed again in greater numbers near the front line as the Ukrainian fascists and military try to advance.
Many people in the capital of Donetsk are without electricity and running water in the dead of winter. A school and hospital in Makeyevka were targeted by Ukraine on January 30. Overnight, Ukrainian forces launched more than 100 GRAD rockets at Yasinovataya. Apartment buildings and homes in Donetsk city have been shelled for several days. Two hundred miners at the Zasyadko coalmine are trapped underground after electricity was knocked out by Ukrainian shelling. Officials in Donetsk have ordered the evacuation of the capital’s Kiyevsky district because of the ongoing attacks.
After assuming the presidency on January 20, Donald Trump acted quickly to enforce repressive measures against poor and working people at home. He was quick to ban legal residents and visitors from returning to the U.S. based on their religion and country of origin. He was quick to announce plans for “secure zones” in Syria in violation of Syrian sovereignty. He was quick to stand behind a massacre carried out on his watch by U.S. military forces in Yemen that killed more than 30 people, including children.
Donald Trump claims he wants better relations with Russia. But has he taken any steps to stop Ukrainian attacks in Donbass? He has not said a word. Even the lifting of sanctions on Russia is now “not a sure thing,” according to Trump.
The deaths and destruction being carried out by Kiev are war crimes. And the blood is on Trump’s hands just as much as Ukrainian President Poroshenko’s.
Under Obama, we demanded that the U.S. stop its bloody proxy war in Donbass. And now, under Trump, we demand that the U.S. stop its bloody proxy war in Donbass.
Then and now, we say: End funding, arming and political protection to the Kiev regime! End the sanctions against Russia and Donbass! Recognize Crimea as part of the Russian Federation! Recognize the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics! Reparations for the rebuilding of the war torn Donbass!
