Do you think a dictatorship is being established in the United States? "100 percent... We've literally got American citizens being shot dead for trying to peacefully observe an ICE protest... We shouldn't be invading other countries."

"It was outright murder... By initiating wars in other states, [Trump] is telling ICE and everyone around him you can be as violent as you want and you'll have no repercussions. We need to focus on the working class... the billionaires are not doing anything to help us."

What's your reaction to the killing of Renee Good? "It's horrendous... We have video evidence that we can clearly see with our own eyes. The regime is willing to lie about it to protect its own interests... When you think about it, what they did to Maduro is the same thing."

It is the task of the Iranian working class to settle accounts with the Islamic Republic; Trump, his ostensible Democratic Party opponents, and their crowned lackey, Reza Pahlavi, want their enslavement. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

"We are against the wars and the horrible things ICE is doing... This generation is not going to let anything happen that can hurt other working class people... Renee Good was a wonderful person and she's now an example of what this country is capable of."

"We're having this strike for fair wages, better nurse to patient ratios, and safety for our patients." "We don't have any contract right now... We were recognized as heroes during the pandemic and now we're treated like nobody." Striking nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian

"We're fighting for better staffing, for health insurance and a pension. And better safety for all. It's very brave for anyone who goes on strike or protests the ICE raids." "They're trying to silence us and make sure no one on the outside knows whats really happening."

"It's us against executives... We have managers and executives who are making millions and millions of dollars. The hospital in 2024 made over $10B in revenue... There's been a narrative pushed out that the nurses are fighting for greedy purposes, but it's the exact opposite."

What do you think of Vance calling Renee Good a domestic terrorist? "He's a shame to our country. It's abhorrent." Who's really terrorizing our communities? "ICE!" Would you support a general strike to stop the repression? "Absolutely... What we're doing now isn't enough."

"ICE is not judge, jury and executioner. There's legal due process... I think they're definitely terrorizing communities." "Trump needs to go. He's trying to be Hitler. But we're not following him." Protests for Renee Nicole Good in San Diego

"We need to stop ICE and all the fascists in government right now from entering our communities and hurting our neighbors." What do you think about the Democrats? "I don't think they've been doing a lot to help... They don't actually stand for what they say they stand for."

"When I started at Mount Sinai a couple years ago, I was very excited to be here, to be part of the institution. Then I got pregnant and I found out that the maternity leave is 7.5 hours total. That's not good health care." #NYCNursesStrike

"Nurses can have 4, 5, 6, 7 patients when we're understaffed. You are less likely to catch a patient getting sicker, because you're caring for other patients... They would rather keep the money for their profits, for their millionaire CEOs." #NYCNursesStrike

"People can't continue like this is normal life." "They can't be billionaires without building it on our backs." "Leon Trotsky did a lot of things in the Russian Revolution. That's what needs to happen here. We can't have oligarchy." Detroiters oppose Trump's visit

"We don't have health care. We are saving lives, we're out here on the battlefield and we don't even have healthcare for ourselves. It's inappropriate not to take care of the nurses that are taking care of the community." #NYCNursesStrike #NYCNurseStrike
