The 45th anniversary of the Attica Prison Riot is coming up. A group called the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee, affiliated to the Wobblies, is trying to effect a nationwide strike among prison laborers. I haven't heard much about it from even lefty outlets but I'm interested to see whether they have pockets of success. Outside Twitter I've only seen things about it on Rawstory in an article written by a Wobbly.

Thinking back to the Bush years and the intimidating power the Evangelicals held...it's pretty wild to see how far we've come and how they have been marginalized.

Blue Texas seems like a pipe dream to me - one worth pursuing though. More energized Democrats means it will be easier to recruit good candidates down-ballot and put a Senate seat in play with the right candidate. But seriously I just can't envision a world where the GOP lets TX become competitive.

Ferguson-based activist Darren Seals (@KingDSeals on Twitter) was murdered today. He was involved with the protests following Mike Brown's murder and was well-known for sharply criticizing activists who weren't from the area.

I posted another article about this a few days ago but from a smaller source, but The Nation has published an article about a massive prison strike planned for tomorrow in commemoration of the Attica Prison Riot. The prisoners demand fair treatment and pay for their labor, improved food, and air conditioning. The situation in the US Prison system is obviously appalling, and I hope this gets some attention in the mainstream press. It's a good read and extremely  .The IWW is providing some of the organizational muscle which came a surprise to me. The AFL-CIO has run some ads decrying mass incarceration - would be nice to see them get involved in a campaign along these lines but they probably won't.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:There's been word that: BI NOW GAY LATER posted:Two of those are possible. The first two aren't. Clearly Leon Trotsky 2012 is citing this GalacticAcid post from July 8, 2015. GalacticAcid posted:[Rendell] wants a cabinet position. He speaks constantly about infrastructure ~ at think tanks, on TV, on the radio, and on Twitter, so I suspect he's angling for Transportation. Although if the Clintons asked him to run for Senate instead, he probably would.

Teddybear posted:And pretty rightfully so. Univision probably had no legal liability for the existing content. They took it down in the fear that a new standard might be made where hosting the archive may be considered publication and leave them liable. Which is dumb. Yep, I agree.
