Today in Labor History February 4, 1900: Jacques Prévert was born (1900-1977). Prevert was a poet, surrealist and libertarian socialist who glorified the spirit of rebellion & revolt.

Excerpt from “Song in the Blood”
There are great puddles of blood on the world
Where’s it going all this spilled blood
Murder’s blood. . . war’s blood. . .
Misery’s blood. . .
And the blood of men tortured in prisons. . .
The blood of children calmly tortured by their papa
And their mama. . .
And the blood of men whose heads bleed in
Padded cells
And the roofer’s blood
When the roofer slips and falls from the roof

These are the bastards...

That underfund
That rarely work
That pay no tax
That swagger and smirk

That print the fibs
That build the walls
That fiddle the books
That write the laws

These are the bastards...

That make the money
Declare the wars
That play their golf
That damn the poor

That manage the funds
That privatise
That shoot the grouse
That tell the lies

These are the bastards...

Before there was the movement there was Timoclea of Thebes throwing the man who raped her down a well. She next hurled in heavy stones until he was dead. Painted in 1659 by Elisabetta Sirani of Bologna.

Sirani (8 January 1638 – 28 August 1665) was an Italian Baroque painter and printmaker who died in still unexplained circumstances at the early age of 27. She was the most famous woman artist in early modern Bologna and established an academy for other women artists.

The normalization of political violence, the dehumanization of the 'enemy,' and the use of stochastic terror. While these may sound like dystopian concepts from a sci-fi film, they are, unfortunately, the chilling reality of today's political landscape. Strap in, because The Big Picture is delving deep into these unsettling tactics shaping our world. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-threats-violence-maga-2024

So billionaires own US$3 trillion more than they did three years ago, their wealth has grown at three times the rate of inflation.
While five billion other people can’t afford what they could three years ago.

Part of why tech workers at huge orgs like this need a union:

Being compelled to relocate to a forced birthing state is violent as hell

So much more to collective power than just getting paid

The destruction of People's Park in #Berkeley, the eviction of the Camp Nenookaasi encampment in #Minneapolis, the bulldozing of Black Lives Matter Memorial Garden in #Seattle, and attacks on refugee families in #NewYork - all are being carried out by Democrats following a wave of misinformation surrounding encampments and "retail crime."

Both parties offer no solutions to the crisis of housing, the exploding cost of living, and the need to care for the most vulnerable in a society rocked by massive inequality and soaring corporate profits.

Today's attacks show why we must build power from below and our capacity to create an active material force based on mutual aid, community defense, and our ability to resist attacks by the State.
