Today in Labor History November 27, 1898: Maria Vetulani was born. She was a soldier in Poland’s war for independence, the Polish-Ukrainian war, and in World War II, as well as a fierce opponent of fascism. In 1918, she fought in the defense of Lvov against the Ukrainian occupation. She had to disguise herself as a man, because women weren’t allowed in combat then. In the 1920s, she became a socialist and married the communist Bohdan de Nisau, who was later imprisoned, tortured and murdered under Stalin. She fled the USSR and moved to Warsaw, where she helped hide Jews from the Nazis. In 1944 she participated in the Warsaw Uprising, where she was wounded. The Nazis killed her in her hospital bed. Her son also participated in the uprising and survived. #workingclass #LaborHistory #fascism #nazis #antifascism #worldwartwo #sexism #feminism #poland #ukraine #independence #soviet #communism #socialism #ussr #uprising #antisemitism #holocaust #stalin

Today in Labor History November 27, 1937: The ILGWU-commissioned musical "Pins & Needles" opened on Broadway, with a cast made up entirely of International Lady Garment Worker Union (ILGWU) members. Rehearsals were held at night and on weekends, and performances were all on Fridays and Saturdays to appease their bosses (i.e., keep their jobs). In 1962, a 25th anniversary edition of the score was released featuring Barbra Streisand.

Today in Labor History November 27, 1835: James Pratt and John Smith were hanged in London, the last two people to be executed for sodomy in England. William Bonill, whose room it was, was transported to Australia as an accessory to the crime, where he died. They were convicted entirely on the testimony of the landlord, who had been spying on them through the keyhole. In 2017, they were posthumously pardoned under the Alan Turing Law, an amnesty law that pardoned British men who had previously been convicted of sodomy. The law was named for mathematician, cryptologist and computer scientist Alan Turing. Home Secretary, Lord Russell, argued for a commutation of the death sentences, stating: “It is the only crime where there is no injury done to any individual and in consequence it requires a very small expense to commit it in so private a manner and to take such precautions as shall render conviction impossible. It is also the only capital crime that is committed by rich men but owing to the circumstances I have mentioned they are never convicted.” #workingclass #LaborHistory #homophobia #lgbtq #prison #deathpenalty #alanturing #deportation

Today in Labor History November 27, 1978: Former cop and city supervisor Dan White assassinated San Francisco’s mayor George Moscone and openly gay city supervisor Harvey Milk. White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, rather than first-degree murder, and only served five years in prison, based on the defense that he suffered diminished capacity due to depression, manifested in his switch from healthy foods to Twinkies and other junk foods. This travesty of justice led to the White Night Riot, after decades of police harassment and physical abuse of San Francisco’s LGBTQ community. During the protests, people attacked the windows of City Hall and set at least a dozen cop cars on fire. When the cops tried to defend City Hall, protesters hurled rocks and bottles at them, forcing them to run inside. Protesters also busted windows in the financial district and in other government buildings. The riot caused hundreds of thousands of dollar’s-worth of property damage. And when the riot was finally subdued, the cops made a retaliatory raid on the Elephant Bar, in the Castro District, where they beat patrons and arrested 24. The double assassination of Moscone and Milk dramatically altered the political landscape of San Francisco. Under Moscone and Milk, the city had been moving in a progressive, pro-neighborhood direction. With the new mayor, Diane Feinstein, city politics returned to the traditional, conservative, pro-Chamber of Commerce, law and order framework that preceded Moscone and Milk. And Feinstein parlayed her success as SF mayor into a long and sordid career in Congress, where she was a strong proponent of Capital Punishment, vitriolic opponent of the Green New Deal, supporter of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, and generally supported U.S. imperialist policy abroad. #workingclass #LaborHistory #HarveyMilk #lgbtq #georgemoscone #twinkiedefense #riot #protest #dianefeinstein #police #assassination #castrodistrict #sanfrancisco #policebrutality #palestine #zionism

No, it's not crime, nor immigration. And it's especially not the Dems' supposed woke, DEI, transagenda. It's the economy, stupid. And when they make this the focus of their campaign platform, like Mamdani did, they win, even in the face of vicious smear campaigns, and hundreds of millions of dollars to finance their opponents.

It Works, If You Work It.

For our economy to provide a nice life for all we will need structural reform. How bad is it? This bad.
