Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike
It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society

I probably bring this up every other day? And people have literally waved it off as “old news” type of a thing. Blows my mind.

Perhaps also a downstream consequence of just how quickly the assassination of Democratic lawmaker by someone impersonating a police officer disappeared from mainstream media.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

A photo I took of the mother of all exiles…including my great-grandparents who passed by her as they arrived to this country. 💛
A black-and-white photo of the Statue of Liberty is displayed

Robert Watchorn, immigration commissioner appointed in 1905.
An old New York Times clipping from November 19, 1906. The headline reads “Immigration is Wealth, Says Robert Watchorn”. A sub headline reads “commissioner tells audience the door shouldn’t be shut.” Another clipping from the New York Times Article from November 19, 1906. The text reads: "I believe that the immigrant has done as much for this country as the country has for him. The children or the immigrants who landed here twenty-five years ago are just like the children of those whose forelathers came over a hundred years ago, and the child of the immigrant who comes in to-day will be just as loyal as any of the others, no matter how long ago their parents came over.” "I never in my life line a steerage passenger who became nationalized that renounced it. They love the flag for what it is and for what it stands for, and also because of the painful recollections they have left behind. It is because of the loyalty of these people that I have so deep and sincere an interest in them. As for yourselves, learn to glve a good account of yourself so that you become a living refutation of the calumny that immigranis don't make good in this country. If you do that you will then have done your part”
