On Thursday, a three-judge panel at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a lower court’s preliminary injunction, which briefly kept the administration from waiving collective bargaining rights for employees at more than 20 agencies.

The appeals court panel had already stayed the lower court’s preliminary injunction last summer, but fully invalidated it in its ruling Thursday.

The Trump administration is free, for now, to continue rescinding collective bargaining agreements with most unions that represent federal employees.

What do you think the numbers are on citizens who are over the edge on this? 3 million? 20? 100? Collective, direct action is the only way we get out of this without getting crushed from the remaining 3 years. Theres no universe where his term completes and we aren't fucked for eternity.

TSA isn't getting paid and they're sleeping in their cars.
Tariffs are causing people to go bankrupt.
He's trying to start a war and I don't see anyone in the US on board with it.
He's murdering and abusing American citizens as well as legal and illegal immigrants.

Collective and direct labor and buying strikes are the only way I think we can hit back. Money talks in their world.

How do we do that? I mean I can probably use PTO to attend, but thats not a sustainable way and once thats out I lose my house. I bet countless others are in my same boat. Idk how to get out of it without just taking the plunge and losing it all.

Downvote anyone promoting violence and call them out on it. For shopping, which is stronger than people might think, It doesn't have to be all at once. Start buying small business and international instead of using Amazon. Delete Facebook, Instagram and any other Meta products. Most people are already boycotting Tesla, but also don't use Starlink. Boycott any trump supporter's companies, there are guides around the web. If you don't live in a blue city, do this even more diligently because they'll see the effects.

You're obviously an anarchist, so do your thing. But downvote the obvious russian trolls promoting suicide.
