š Trump Targets Drug Prices with Global Benchmark Scheme
On May 12, Trump signed an executive order titled Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients. It instructs federal agencies to align U.S. prescription drug prices with prices in other developed countries. Sounds good, until you realize this lets Big Pharma quietly dodge accountability while the regime scores political points. It’s a distraction playāno structural change, just headline bait.
āļø Court Greenlights Trumpās Union-Busting Order
A federal appeals court lifted the block on Trumpās executive order aimed at dismantling union representation for 100,000+ federal workers. Treasury, Defense, Veterans Affairs, State, Justiceāall on the chopping block. This order guts collective bargaining and silences dissent within the federal workforce. If you work for the government and speak up, good luck keeping your job.
š”ļø DHS Demands 20,000 National Guard Troops for Immigration Raids
Trumpās administration requested the deployment of 20,000 National Guard troops across the U.S. to assist in sweeping immigration raids. The Pentagon is reviewing it, but make no mistakeāthis is about turning military force against civilians to advance xenophobic policy. ICE didnāt get defundedāthey got reinforcements.
š£ Call to Action
- Demand your lawmakers oppose the union-busting order and block military deployments for immigration enforcement.
- Share info about the fake drug price reform and call out the PR stunt.
- Organize mutual aid for immigrant communities nowābefore the troops hit the streets. And if youāre a federal employee: start connecting with underground labor networks before itās too late.
š± Final Scratch from Resistance Kitty
This weekās orders werenāt about policyāthey were about punishment. Punishing workers, immigrants, and sick people so Trump can pretend heās still in control. But we see him. And we fight smarter. Keep your bags packed, your files backed up, and your networks strong. Resistance is survival now.
