Yet you spent your life shitting on actual heroes HRC and Senator Feinstein.

I see you, Loomis. You are still a sexist little shit and a hater. Do not miss the hot link on the bottom hating on Speaker Pelosi.

Ta, Erik. I knew about most of this, but not all.

Look for the union label, when you are buying that coat, dress, or blouse

Remember somewhere, our union’s sewing, our wages going to feed the kids and run the house

We work hard, but who’s complaining? Thanks to the ILG we’re making our way

So always look for the union label, it says we’re able to make it in the USA!

This makes me want Enola Holmes 3 to come out right away (Yes I know different continent and slightly different era, but she's an amazing character)

Just by the way, Project Gutenberg has several volumes of Red Emma Goldman's books. Just downloaded "My Disillusionment with Russia", a book of which I was not previously aware.

I tried to do a hard version of the sims generation challenge. Every sim works every day, all day and come home to live in cramped "tenament" housing. All my sims died within two days. Didn't even get to have some filthy child labor children.

The simulation game was like whoa, this is too much, BYE.

During the Industrial Revolution in England, unschooled working children living in shit accommodations apparently led to a rash of incestuous activity.

It got so bad healthwise because of the unsanitary and crowded living conditions that the doctors had to step in and agitate for reform.

It was going to be impossible to expand the empire with stunted, malnourished, and uneducated citizens!

"At the end of her life, while in a nursing home, she organized the home’s workers into a union and convinced the institution to honor the United Farm Workers’ grape boycott."

*chef's kiss* to her.

I think Jason Chaffetz confused his Turkey bill with his Bourbon bill. Like a common David Brooks.

$90 is nothing anyway.

I hear the political donor class will spend $6M on a turkey. Look at how much they've spent on Nancy Mace.

I never learned about labor history in school (but I was a lousy student and maybe skipped those classes). Is it taught at all now?

I learned about it through Pete Seeger > Woody Guthrie > Scott Nearing > Eugene Debs > the Wobblies > Grapes of Wrath > Let Us Now Praise Famous Men > Walker Evans > The Farm Security Administration . . .

I learned something about it in a freshman history class, in Texas of all places.

We learned about things like the Pullman strike, but only as isolated historical incidents.

I was devastated to hear that the Pullman Strike wasn't centred around the Washington State University campus.
