Power rangers lost galaxy was already a weird season

 

We really really need to focus on daca. This is the top level of awful

 

Basically, I seem to have an intolerance for a lot of protein replacement foods and my gut hates too much of them. Bad cycle.

 

Fun.

 

bump the vegan thread, there are literally maybe a dozen of us!

 

Seems like non-violence isn't going to be able to resolve the issues with people being deported en masse. It's actually going to take people getting in the way of ICE.

 

hmm i got word last week that my recent daca renewal had been approved and was being processed, wonder if that'll be stopped in its tracks.

 

Well, I didn't expect that

 

no no no we need to debate ice with logic and reason

Hah I think I just assumed income was on there after scanning over half the charts. Glad to see my point was still salient though on a related topic.

 

Of course in the first few replies there's a "Annie go on Chapo" and a "hurrrr durrr you sell guitars for capitalism GOTCHA"

 

Looking for a good Labor Day article/explainer/basic article about the history of the movement to link up on the homepage, anyone have any candidates?

"When Debs refused to call the work stoppage off, he was jailed for six months. At least thirty workers were killed during the government’s violent suppression of the strike. This violence was openly condemned by New York’s Central Labor Union, who stood in full solidarity with the ARU.

Six days after it ended, Cleveland made Labor Day a national holiday, hoping it would defuse class anger and deflect attention away from the more militant May Day. But the president had other concerns too. It was a midterm election year, and Cleveland — serving his second nonconsecutive term — did not want to appear an enemy of organized labor. Yet he miscalculated: legalizing Labor Day could not make up for smashing the Pullman Strike and jailing Debs. He lost his reelection campaign, and the labor movement didn’t stay quiet for long.

Cleveland did not simply invent Labor Day, as we are often led to believe. The holiday represents a partial victory that reflects the labor movement’s strength, which pressed its weight on the scales of politics and forced a federal reform.

Like most reforms, it had a dual character: on the one hand, it absorbed and nullified some worker militancy; on the other, it ceded ground to the unions and put them in a better position to win future demands. Seeing it merely as a weapon instituted from the top down obscures the class struggle that led directly to its adoption."
