As if you needed any more reasons to hate RFK Jr.... The same guy who who likened Gender Affirming Care to mutilation and who enacted policies pressuring major healthcare providers to end trans healthcare services is, himself, undergoing Gender Affirming Care.

Let's call today "Fuck Margaret Thatcher Day." Got any good anti-Thatcher memes or jokes? Please add them to the comments.

The Exploited: Don't Pay the Poll Tax #punkrock #PollTax

Today in Labor History November 28, 1990: Margaret Thatcher resigned in tears after a mass non-payment of her hated poll tax forced her out of office. The tax was a flat tax, hugely unfair, charging all adults, regardless of their wealth or income, the same amount. At the height of the campaign, nearly half of all British adults, 17 million people, had refused to pay the tax. The Labour Party refused to back any protest of the tax. But Anti-Poll Tax Unions formed across the country, and there were thousands of demonstrations, many of which became riots after mounted police charged the protesters. Over 100 were injured and more than 330 were arrested in the protests. #workingclass #LaborHistory #polltax #margaretthatcher #protests #demonstrations #directaction #anarchism #socialism #tax

Today in Labor History November 28, 1994: In the wake of years of outsourcing and downsizing, Bell-Atlantic announced another 5,600 lay-offs. In response, 1,200 employees in Pennsylvania came to work in T-shirts that portrayed themselves as road kill on the information superhighway. Management suspended them all without pay when they refused to remove the shirts. #laborhistory #WorkingClass #union #strike #sabotage #freespeech #protest #pennsylvania

Today in Labor History November 28, 1944: 400 people in Rotterdam attacked a coal warehouse during the Nazi occupation. The Nazis executed 40 Dutch men in retaliation.

Today in Labor History November 28, 1843: The Kingdom of Hawaii was officially recognized by the United Kingdom and France as an independent nation. Consequently, the date is now known as Ka Lā Hui (Hawaiian Independence Day). The nation was formed in 1795, when the warrior chief Kamehameha the Great, of the independent island of Hawaiʻi, conquered and unified the independent islands of Oʻahu, Maui, Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi. The U.S. became its chief trading partner and “protector” to prevent other foreign powers from seizing control. In 1891, the Committee of Safety, led primarily by foreign nationals from the U.S., U.K. and Germany, and some dissident locals, overthrew Queen Liliʻuokalani. And in 1898, the U.S. annexed Hawaiʻi, making it a territory of the U.S. In 1993 Congress passed the Apology Resolution, acknowledging that the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii was by agents and citizens of the U.S. and that the Native Hawaiian people never relinquished their claims to sovereignty. #workingclass #LaborHistory #colonialism #hawaii #NativeHawaiian #indigenous

This is actually an old statistic. That $11 million pledge came within minute of the Oct 7 Hamas attack and was, at the time, the single largest donation to AIPAC. Not sure how much he has actually donated to AIPAC since then.
