Mother Jones Tours Illinois for Socialist Party of America

Mother Jones by Bertha Howell (Mrs Mailly), ab 1902.png

Today Hellraisers pauses to catch up with Mother Jones and to document her whereabouts and doings for the month of May 1906. We find Mother, at the end of May, on tour as a National Organizer for the Socialist Party of America. The photograph at right was taken by Bertha Howell, who is now married to William Mailly, former National Secretary of Socialist Party.

Our Democracy Spring Is Far From Over, It's Just Getting Started

Stepping outside my door today, I stopped, struck by the beauty of the blossoms on one the bush that lines our walkway. I don't even know its name, or the name of its blossoms. Most of the year it never blooms, standing there with its stiff, lanceolate shaped leaves hanging down, often curled in around the edges, looking a bit sad and forlorn. But when it does bloom, it's magnificent. So I took this photograph with my phone:

A C99% Bernie News Roundup

Hello friends! I am so glad to see you are back up and running! I woke up extra early this morning to try and make a crosspostable BNR to share with you all who (rightfully) do not go over yonder! I truly am sorry I could not do more sooner, (dk5 is a big kospiracy..... middle of primaries 'upgrade' that makes things worse?). I certainly plan on posting original content here at c99% in the future, as well as doing some crossposting Anyways... lets hope this works... and if it does not..

Alan Grayson Must Think He Posted By Mistake On RedState

He dared challenge the Democratic Party elite on you know where, now I am no fan of Grayson, but beyond his bombastic style I read what he has to say and that in this case he points out the blindingly bloody obvious [with a little garnish]. So what did he actually have to say:-

(For shits and giggles) ROGER CLINTON DUI ARREST IN CALI ... Impeccable Timing

Hillary Clinton's brother-in-law is sitting in a jail cell after getting busted for DUI in Southern California ... just 2 days before the crucial CA primary vote.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Roger Clinton was arrested Sunday just after 8 PM in Redondo Beach. He was booked for driving under the influence, and we're told he refused blood alcohol testing.

Roger remains in police custody. His bail is set at $15,000.

Bernie Can Win Decisively in a 3 Way Race vs HRC and Trump

I truly believe that if Bernie does not run independent, and encourages his voters to vote for HRC "as the only way to defeat Donald Trump," that just barely enough of them will hold their nose and do it for the Supreme Court. And HRC will squeak in, hated and with no coat tails, because Donald Trump is truly unfit, in a non-traditional way. HRC is unfit, much like the Bush family. But as we also know, the "establishment" wasn't just ready for Hillary this year, they were ready for Jeb.
