What if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act?

Trump May Invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act

On his first day in office last January, wannabe king Trump declared a national emergency on our southern border granting him broad powers to repel a non-existent "invasion." (In actual fact, the number of illegal border crossings is at an historic low.) Trump's declaration also gave the departments of Defense and Homeland Security 90 days to produce a report recommending that he invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.

That report has now come due. Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act at any moment.

The Origin of May Day

The Origin of May Day: American unions then set May 1st 1890, as a national day of action for the 8-hour day. Socialists in Europe did the same, declaring May Day to be International Workers Day. Since then, throughout the world May 1st has continued to be a day for social and economic justice movements of all kinds and issues.
