As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:

In regards to hot dog sentience, the bun acts as the exoskeleton with the consciousness in the meat itself. It's the pairing of the two that creates the complete sentient hot dog. This was the first thing they taught us at America orientation. Not sure how so many of you missed that.

"Violence is so often the preferred 
weapon of the stupid: indeed, one 
might say it is one of the tragedies 
of human existence that this is the 
one form of stupidity to which it is 
most difficult to come up with 
an intelligent response."

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

Today on Yom HaShoah and Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, it’s important to remember that genocide isn’t an abstract concept. It’s something that happens before our eyes. To honor those murdered in past genocides, we can’t just remember. We must also take action and protect our most vulnerable.

Some polls putting Labour on as low as 21% and set-to drop further. David Graeber was right.
"The Labour Party under 
Keir Starmer will abandon 
its core idealism and
principles and it won't 
even gain tactical 
advantage. It will be a party 
which gives no one a reason 
to vote for it, and then no 
one will, in fact, vote for it."
