Time to reread W. H. Auden's poem, "September 1, 1939," written about the day Germany invaded Poland. Regrettably it is too long to post in its entirety but you can read it here. poets.org/poem/septemb...

I just learned that the amazing union organizer Jane McAlevey passed away in September. Thanks to Democracy Now we have a great interview with her, and one of her last. Her strategies provide excellent advice for anyone who wants to envigorate politics today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUIM...

I've never been part of twitter or X, so am not sure what to expect. Perhaps that has helped me stay somewhat sane, as I don't like too much online engagement. Mostly I joined bluesky to follow the doings of the NC Democratic Party and see what other activists might be up to.
