From The New York Times: Socialists Rally Behind Moyer and Haywood
From the Times of March 12th:
SAYS SOCIALISTS MUST ARM.
----------Ex-Mayor of Haverhill Wants Them to
Fight to Save Moyer and Haywood.
A appeal was made at yesterday's meeting of the Central Federated Union By John C. Chase, Former Socialist Mayor of Haverhill, Mass., for co-operation with the Socialists in protesting against the punishment of President Moyer, Secretary Haywood, and other officers of the Western Federation of Miners, who were arrested in connection with a number of murders, including the assassination of ex-Gov. Steunenberg of Idaho. These men are now in jail in Boise City. Capitalists and corporations were denounced impartially by Chase. He said that the unions at a meeting last Thursday decided on a perpetual agitation on behalf of the imprisoned men and asked to attend the first conference to push along the agitation which will begin in the Grand Central Palace to-morrow. Referring to Moyer and Haywood, he said:
If these two men are hanged, and if any man in this body, or any other body of the kind, is not then willing to shoulder a gun and fight for his class, he is a coward.
If Hillary truly opposes for-profit colleges that rip students off, then why did she do this?

General Election Speculation
Submitted by Stephen Carll on Sun, 03/13/2016 - 12:24pmThere's a piece up over at Morning Nightcap examining the rivalry between those of us who support Bernie Sanders and those who support Hillary Clinton. While anecdotal and speculative, there's some points worth examining.
Why are we listening to Bill Clinton in 2016
Submitted by Caerus on Sun, 03/13/2016 - 12:17pmHeresy. I know. But don't think I'll get banned for asking the question here.
Why are we listening to Bill Clinton? Why does Bill Clinton get to lie, as he did about Obama in 2008, and now about Bernie Sanders in 2016.
Why do we allow this person to get away with anything? Why is neo-liberalism acceptable to the Democratic Party in 2016?
Occupy Trump - it's happening
Submitted by Gerrit on Sun, 03/13/2016 - 9:05amI speculated in an article yesterday that from here on out all the way through the primaries, the general, Nov 8, and potentially beyond, we would se Occupy Trump every day. It's happening. The day after his Chicago Surprise, Herr Drumpf saw peace warriors protesting his rally in Kansas, MO. Opposing groups, cops gone wild, pepper spray, etc. More below.

First off I want to thank JTC for the opportunity to have one of the Open Threads here at C99. I know that I'm one of the Junior Members here, at least as far as sheer chronology goes, so the chance to write on a regular basis for a site I love is a real treat.

I have read pretty much every comment...and the stories that have been told will all go down in history as one of the finest pieces of writing ever on the DKOS...
