Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.

He's turning the homes into a compound.

More than 100 people, including 28 children, have been killed in Texas in the deadliest floods to hit the country in decades. At least 161 people are still missing, according to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

Stonewall was everyday people.
Selma was everyday people.

Rosa Parks was an everyday person.
Ruby Bridges was an everyday child.
Marsha B. Johnson was an everyday drag queen.

When we stand up together, there is nothing that can stop us.

Activism is how we fight back!

This Day in Labor History: May 1, 1867. Workers in Chicago went on strike for an 8-hour day, the first mass-scale labor action for that demand that directly challenged political power. Let's talk about this little known worker action on May Day!
