It's always "here's how the strike could inconvenience you" and never "here's how the rapacious profiteering of capitalists is drowning billions of people in misery"

This Memorial Day weekend I honor the 200 Powhatan Natives who were given poisoned wine during peace negotiations back in May 1623.
Again, you would’ve known this — had it been taught to you in school.
90 years ago this month, Nazis burned books.
The books they first burned were the books from the Institute of Sexology, decades of research in transgender medicine and health.
History doesn't always repeat, but it certainly rhymes.
So the Oklahoma Legislature overrode Governor Stitt's veto of a bill they passed to protect the right of Native American students to wear regalia to graduation. Just think about that: that it needed a law in the first place speaks volumes about how this country this is to Natives
In 1984, a young individual named Ryan White, aged 13, from Indiana, USA, contracted Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Ryan, who was a hemophiliac and lacked the natural ability to clot blood, depended on blood transfusions to receive necessary platelets and prevent excessive bleeding. Unfortunately, one such transfusion accidentally exposed him to HIV-infected blood. In December of that year, he was diagnosed with HIV and given a life expectancy of merely six months.
When Ryan attempted to return to his high school, he faced rejection. Despite medical professionals affirming that HIV does not spread through airborne means but rather through bodily fluids, societal ignorance prevailed. People at the time associated HIV with the "gay disease," as it was predominantly diagnosed among gay men in the Western world. Consequently, Ryan encountered discrimination, with his school denying him entry. Even though he was straight, Ryan became a target of harassment, with individuals hurling derogatory remarks like "queer" and even resorting to acts of intimidation such as firing a bullet through his house window, all in an attempt to drive him away from the town he called home. Many of his friends abandoned him as well. A petition signed by 360 students, 117 parents, and 50 teachers aimed to exclude him from the school.
Nonetheless, Ryan and his parents refused to surrender to the school's unfair decisions and continued to fight for his right to education. Finally, in 1986, Ryan was readmitted to the school. While some students left in response, others extended their support by shaking his hand, demonstrating solidarity.
Tragically, Ryan White passed away in 1990. His funeral drew a crowd of over 1,500 attendees, including notable figures such as Elton John and Michael Jackson. Ryan's legacy stands as a testament to the societal and social pressures surrounding individuals with AIDS and the LGBT community. He valiantly challenged the system, societal prejudices, and those who perceived him as a threat. Surpassing the initial life expectancy prediction by six years, Ryan's courage, strength, and determination continue to inspire and resonate to this day.
