Whoa this is quite an essay. And FYI, this contains info on how to support the legal defense of the Minnesota 15. labornotes.org/blogs/2026/06…
ALT When I got to my cell after they took me, I did not know who else was targeted in the sweep. I saw one person I knew, and then was put into a cell alone. Not knowing what else to do to pass the time, I began singing “Fields of Athenry.” When I was done with that, I sang “The Ballad of Joe McDonnell,” “Bold Robert Emmet,” “Jim Jones in Botany Bay,” and “Our Lads in Crumlin Jail.” I was halfway through "The Town I Loved So Well," about to choke up thinking about Metro Surge and "with their tanks and their guns, oh my God what have they done, to the town I loved so well," when I heard a shout down the hallway: "Play ‘Dick Blizzard'!"
What a list
This is my personal library called Do The Knowledge it’s fairly comprehensive. it’s a working library which means things will be added to it and organized but everyone is welcome to it, for anyone who wants to read. Enjoy and happy reading ❤️

A mute for your car horn that makes it sound like Miles Davis, so when you’re driving and want someone to get the f out of your way you sound laid back and cool about it
Trying not to get sucked into the “end of an era” rhetoric re the mamdani/cheney confluence, as we continue to support g side and imperialism around the world unabated, nothing has fundamentally changed in any way that matters.
Telling someone who organized the biggest non union labor victory that they don’t understand non union organizing is wild. It’s literally what we are trying to do and understand better than anyone the hurtles involved in a general strike. Yelling general strike online isn’t it

Approximately 200,000 people in New Jersey are now on day 5 without water after a vital pipeline break.
Half Table Man has been providing free food for Amazon employees for years now, please consider donating to help this essential org out, especially in this time of gov defunding, mutual aid is more important than ever.
As someone kinda obsessed with working class history, I’d posit that the D party was always just reacting to working class organizing and was never just naturally aligned with the working class.
gofundme.com/f/support-half-… please consider donating to this worthy cause. This non profit is literally feeding Staten Island. Thank you!!!!
I came to the conclusion a few years ago that the quintessential New Yorker was actually the person who helped a single mom with a stroller up or down the subway stairs because they were the only ones who knew. I was that person once or twice myself.
In case you missed it.
I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning:
I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.
We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.
There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job.
I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.
I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction.
I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void.
