Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson joins the show to discuss his call for a general strike against Trump’s “tyranny” and the greed of the ultra-rich at the massive No Kings Day protest in Chicago. “This moment is going to require all of us to take more risks…if we don’t, think about what we will lose,” Johnson warns, explaining how the demonstration was a powerful rejection of the federal government’s “Operation Midway Blitz” against the city. Drawing on the legacies of the labor and civil rights movements, he emphasizes why uniting working people and strategically withholding labor is essential to fighting back, reshaping democracy, and demanding fully funded schools, healthcare, transportation, good-paying jobs, and housing. #breakthroughnews
