This Day in Labor History: October 16, 1859. John Brown and a group of followers invade the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (today WV) to start a war and end slavery. Let's talk about this key moment in American labor history!

Anecdotal, but I’m watching the Ga/Oklahoma football game & I have seen MULTIPLE ads for Senator Ossoff, and have yet to see any for Mike Collins or any other candidate.

HR 1 should be rolling back the tarriffs, HR 2 has to be repealing the OBBB cuts to snap/medicaid/ ACA subsidies & tax cuts or there’s no $ to do anything. Then impeach Hesgeth, then Rollins, then Kash, then Rubio…

I just got back to Georgia. Ugh. But it reminds me that since I have no legal middle name, that I’ve always favored one of my heroes’s middle name, Tecumseh. I’ll pop up to Kennesaw National Battlefield Park to see one of Sherman’s Neckties now that I’m thinking about the old General.

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists. I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

I’ve noticed a big increase museum layoffs and closures. I suspect ARP money finally getting fully flushed out of state/local budgets, declining federal support, rising prices for everything, declining corporate/foundation support for non-Trump approved history are all contributing. A sad thread:

Took the 11yo niece to see ‘Coyote vs Acme’ today. First film I’ve seen in years 2xs in the theater. Still funny the second time bc I missed SO MANY SIGHT GAGS!

reminder: the explicit USPS rule (*currently blocked in court*) is that USPS will not deliver *any and all* mail ballots to voters in states that refuse to provide the fed gov with lists (lists that, even if they wanted, states can't do in time at this point) not technicalities — mass non-delivery

It’s not just his goons tho, it’s the entire Trump movement! I was in SF at a hostel last weekend, talking to another guest about how I won’t shop at Trader Joe’s since they’re union-busters, some guy walked in, said to us, strangers, “lay off that woke shit!”, & i got loud til he left. No quarter.
