Today in Labor History May 28, 1797: French authorities executed proto-anarchist revolutionary Gracchus Babeuf. Babeuf formed a secret society during the time of the French Revolution, known as the Conspiracy of the Equals, that plotted to overthrow the revolutionary government, and replace it with one that was truer to Jacobin ideals. The group included Sylvain Maréchal, Jacques Roux, Jean Varlet and others. Specifically, they called for a society with absolute equality, through the collectivization of all lands and the means of production, and putting an end to all poverty, at least for citizens of France. They also called for the abolition of private property and equal access to food, demands that resonated heavily among the impoverished French population, who were suffering from hunger during the economic crisis that followed the Revolution. However, their manifesto did not include the enslaved people living in French colonies. By early April, 1796, half a million Parisians were in need of relief. And people began singing Babeuf’s song, Mourant de faim, mourant de froid ("Dying of Hunger, Dying of Cold"), in the cafés.

Throughout his life, Babeuf advocated for the poor and for the abolition of private property. He said "Society must be made to operate in such a way that it eradicates once and for all the desire of a man to become richer, or wiser, or more powerful than others."

Joy-Ann Reid reveals the poignant origins of Memorial Day, initially Decoration Day, founded by Black freedmen to honor Union soldiers. There's irony in celebrating Confederate figures over Civil War victors. Recent events, sparked by George Floyd’s murder, have encouraged recognizing contributions from women and people of color, highlighted by the renaming of nine military bases. Reid calls for inclusivity in honoring America’s military legacy.

Fun exercise if you want to have a go!
I'm looking for a catchy and non-complimentary term for the multi-national, corporate, oligarchic, libertarian, ultra-capitalist, hegemonic portion of the global population. You know, the (about) 0.001% who are using their control of politicians, media, think-tanks, education systems, religion and tech to bend the rest of the population to their benefit and servitude.
If you come up with a good one, I reserve the right to use it in my future writing and hopefully every other concerned person will too. Let's name the beast. #equality #democracy #oligarchy #sustainability #socialjustice #politics

Police reform and civil-rights activists joined thousands of ordinary people on Sunday to mark the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder and decry the Trump administration. ““What Emmett Till was in his time, George Floyd has been for this time in history,” the Rev. Al Sharpton said at a graveside service in Houston, Texas. Read more from

Plus, Lawrence Ware writes that America’s racial awakening appeared to be going in the right direction after Floyd’s death, but somehow “Black America is in worse shape now than it was during the protests that his murder beget.” Read Ware’s thought-provoking article @TheRoot:

As a young athlete, Harrison Browne didn’t think too much about how men and women are divided in athletics. A standout hockey player, Browne represented Team Canada in the 2011 Under-18 Women’s World Championship in Stockholm and played for the University of Maine. It was there that Browne told teammates about the desire to live openly as a trans man. @thewalrus features this excerpt from Browne’s book, “Let Us Play,” where he outlines his experience and states why inclusive participation in sports is important.

"Assailant in Carmel tried to punch 13-year-old in face before she threw him to the ground and broke his ankle."

I'm sorry to say a lot of cis men will never respect women, cis or trans.

We HAVE to use force to stop their violence.

If you can't be respected be feared.

I’ve been reflecting the past couple of days about discrimination. About how much it must hurt to walk through life knowing people hate you just because you’re you.

It breaks my fucking heart. Truly tears it in two. It literally made me cry today.

This is why I get so passionately fucking angry about fascism and bigotry. People deserve to experience the joy of life without fear-based reservations.

This song/video nails it.
