As we celebrate Pride month, we must remember the roots of this commemoration: the revolt of working class LGBTQ+ people against the systems of oppression that sought to erase their communities. As these attacks were defeated before, this Pride Month we say that they will be defeated again.

Today marks the anniversary of the historic Paris Commune: the world's first attempt at working-class power. The lesson of the Commune helped inspire all other attempts at socialism. Long live the Communards of the Paris Commune!

For Women’s History Month we honor Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (August 7, 1890 – September 5, 1964). Flynn led several strikes in a long and storied career and was elected National Chairperson of the CPUSA. During the McCarthy period she was expelled from the ACLU and jailed under the Smith Act.

On this day in 2003 The U.S. and its allies invaded Iraq. American public support quickly eroded and some estimate over a million deaths resulted, with a cost possibly over $6 trillion. The whole operation is today seen as a massive disaster that helped make the world a more dangerous place.

With Trump's election and the entry of right-wing tech billionaires into the U.S. government, we have entered a new political moment.

How did Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg etc come to wield such influence?
