Hobos think about politics, too. Here they’re picketing the Russian consulate at Park Avenue and 68th Street on December 6, 1951. Prominent in the picket line is ‘Boxcar Betty,” beauty editor of the Bowery News, and (behind her) Bozo, noted knight of the road.

“Farmers Ask For Relief,” Border Cities Star. October 18, 1932. Page 19. ---- Unity League Delegation Calls on Manitoba Premier ---- Fight to Finish --- Free Land, Medical Attention, Guaranteed Income Among Demands ---- By Canadian Press --- WINNIPEG, Oct. 18. The struggle for their rights being carried on by the Farmers Unity League has just begun, and it will continue until some results are forthcoming, a delegation of farmers told Premier John Bracken of Manitoba at the legislative buildings here yesterday, while a crowd of something over 1,000 milled about the steps outside, prevented by Royal Canadian Mounted Police from entering the locked edifice. 

UNFAIR, SAYS PREMIER THE delegation, composed of eight men, one woman and a boy about 14 years of age, was told by the premier they had not "played fair" with him. He complained he had consented to meet the farmers from out of town, and that, subsequently, they had arranged a demonstration and attempted to parade in defiance of his standing rule that he would meet no more deputations by mass demonstrations. 

About 50 farmers took part in the demonstration on the steps of the building, which was organized by the neighborhood council movement in the city. The crowd outside carried banners. inscribed: "Down with the Bracken Government.” They were harangued by speakers throughout the afternoon, while the conference went on behind locked doors. 

Complaining first to the premier that they had been unfairly treated in having their meeting on the market square broken up and in being forced to proceed to the legislative buildings on the sidewalks, the farmer delegation listed a string of demands, headed by a request that their transportation back to their farms be paid by the government. 

ASK REDS RELEASE The farmers further asked the premier to make representations to Ottawa for the release of eight alleged Communists now serving terms in Portsmouth penitentiary at Kingston. Ont., and for repeal of sections of the criminal code prescribing deportation for conviction on charges of sedition. 

Assurance from the Manitoba government that all farmers incomes will amount to at least $1.000 a year each was asked by the delegation, which also listed the following demands: That lands seized by the government for nonpayment of taxes be given to poor farmers who need land for cultivation: that needy farmers be provided with free medical attention, education for their children In high schools and technical schools for 10 months in the year, clothing, motor licenses for their trucks, licenses to fish and hunt and noncontributory insurance against old age, sickness and incapacity. 

Premier Bracken promised to give every consideration to the requests.

I’m thinking it’s more likely this was a legit attempt, but in comparison to the last attempt I think the evidence for it being staged is way stronger. It was on Trump’s own property aka a way more easily controlled environment, the guy was much further away than Crooks was and he never actually got any shots off so no one even got hurt, he survived long enough to be taken into police custody, and this is all happening less than a week after a very bad debate performance and an endorsement from a woman so influential we have the data to name an Effect after her. Like again I think it’s more likely a legit attempt but either way it’s still a nothing burger.

I mean, didn't Trump and Vance just tell us to "get over" gun violence and that it was a "fact of life" in between their busy schedule of inciting racist mobs on Springfield, Ohio?

Did something change between now and then when the MAGAs are suddenly so concerned with preventing white Republicans from having access to guns?

Weird.

The Collected Miscellany videos are solid evidence to the idea that Dainsleif, when he's not hunting down Abyss Heralds or talking to the Traveler, spends a signifcant amount of time spying on all the elemental wielders of Teyvat.

Which is hilarious to imagine as his hobby.

Doubly so when you remember a lot of people probably realized he was watching them. Venti, Zhongli, Shenhe, Yelan, Cloud Retainer, Nahida, Neuvillette.

"#FascismIsOnTheRiseGlobally

Christo-fascist hate (like the #1MillionMarch4Chidren) is happening globally.

Well-organized Far-right marches, protests to unite fascists and recruit.

This is a counter demonstration standing against hate in the UK. 👇🏽"

SCIENCE IS ON IT! The kids will be ok 🙏

(They're even calling to stop the ban while they're doing this and on the same side as the rest of us in that "[they too believe that] clinicians, patients and families should make decisions about treatment on the best available evidence, not politicians."!)

full offense intended to people who hate voting— they literally don’t know how government works. youre not just voting for the politician youre voting for their ability to make political appointments. like if you claim to be pro-labor and pro-union and you take a dump all over voting, it’s just crystal clear you don’t know what the National Labor Relations Board is. But most people just do not know labor law. Like understandable, it’s a complex field. I just have to roll my eyes at “both parties are the same”. On some issues, yea. On others no the fuck they’re not. Embarrassing behavior imo.

Yeah actual labor leaders are EXTREMELY clear that they want people to vote and vote Democrat. I've heard union presidents talk about how much progress they've made and how much easier it's been with the Biden administration as opposed to Trump. And on a local level, my state Democrats got me paid sick time when my union wasn't willing to fight for it, while multiple Republicans states are repealing their labor laws left and right. And sure, Democrats as a whole aren't great at labor - but negotiating is a hell of a lot easier when the starting position isn't "unions should all be burned to the ground and the organizers run out of town on a rail".

And that's just labor - I've heard similar stories from people involved in climate change stuff and I'm willing to bet it's the same with a lot of other issues. The problem is that people assume if it's not big, splashy front-page news then it's either not important or didn't happen, when a lot of the most important stuff is quieter. The New York Times isn't going to report on every judge appointed to the NLRB but it's still an incredibly important issue that the parties are extremely different on!

Dear Media: The college demonstrations are anti-genocide, not "pro-Palestine." Israel's actions are horrifying no matter what population they're aimed at.

Writing that they're pro-Palestine brings the historic conflict into it and makes a good guys / bad guys narrative where none exists. The Israeli actions are freaking EVIL. There's no good and bad.
