You can damn well bet they won't let their gardeners and nannies unionize

The lady communists of Greenwich Invisible celebrated May Day by assembling at the Havemeyer Building and screeching “Power to the People, Right On!” They then retired to the Field Club for tea and martinis, and a grand time was had by all. The girls had saved the nation once again.

Greenwich Indivisible said they gathered on May 1st—International Workers’ Day—not just to remember the past (“And who could ever forget that wonderful day we occupied the cafeteria at Vassar for an entire morning?” gushed Greenwich Invisible president Valarie Smith-Hopkins), but to stand firmly in the present and fight for a better future.

The Greenwich event was organized by Indivisible Greenwich and was one of over 1000 “May Day Strong” events held nationwide, organized and promoted by organizations, including Indivisible.org, MoveOn, National Education Association, Public Citizen and labor unions.

“The vigil was a mass display (estimated at 25-30, including reporters) of unity calling attention to the fact that Trump and congressional Republicans are doubling down on their agenda to gut essential services and programs and take other steps that are enabling authoritarianism,” Indivisible Greenwich said in a press release printed on deckled stationery that, judging from its letterhead, had been lifted from the Indian Harbor’s receptionist’s desk.

According to the release, the gathering also “aimed to call attention to the power grab by the Republican-controlled Greenwich town’s finance board (the Board of Estimate and Taxation). A few weeks ago, our town budget was passed with devastating cuts and without a single Democratic vote. These cuts targeted everyone, from heartlessly evicting seniors in the Nathaniel Witherell nursing home, to locking children in dark closets and poking them with sharp sticks, to converting the Hamill Skating Rink into a pickleball court (“well, that might be acceptable”, conceded Miss Smith-Hopkins), to tearing out the sidewalks at our elementary schools and reducing teachers’ pay to twelve dollars a year, closing Greenwich Point, and cancelling (public) school vacations.”

“Today, we honor the power of collective action and the strength of everyday people who rise up
for justice, dignity, and fair treatment. We stand in solidarity with all who labor — not our domestics, naturally — but especially our teachers and their incredible union and other unions nationwide,

“Today, we don’t just reflect. We rise. We rise in the spirit of those who came before us—and in the name of those still fighting now. We are women — well, except for a couple of freaks here with stubble on their chins and bulges in their crotches who claim they are — hear us roar!”
