Every May Day has its own particular challenges. This May Day is, hands down, no different. Who could have imagined only a few months ago that on this May Day the working class and its many allies (and only an allied movement has the power to find a way out of this crisis) would be starring into the face of a global pandemic, an economy on lock down, and a president who is as clueless and narcissistic as he is dangerous.

Jared Kushner yesterday speaking on the response of the administration to the pandemic: “It’s been a great success story.” No words!

Yesterday, the death count in 3 months due to the covid-19 eclipsed the number of U.S. soldiers who died in the Vietnam War in 15 years. Trump didn’t promise this, but he delivered it through his delay, ineptitude, cover up, heartlessness, and narcissism.
