to your series today. Hope he checks it out. Was certainly pissed off enough at how labor unions don't do enough for their members nowadays.

Sometimes I think the only way we're going to get the solidarity we need nowadays is to remind people of the power we HAD, and can have again as citizens.

It's my hopeful thought for the day.

I am busy inspiring people to vote on my local Bernie page. I included one of your journals along with this message.

I was fortunate as a child to know some of the founders of Home Colony. While we all know the basic colorful history of the our most notorious town what is little known is most were involved in the labor movement. Some were famous, a couple infamous in the fight for rights we today take for granted. They were front line fighters and organizers in an epic battle most of us know very little about. For their trouble they were shot, beaten, and black balled from their profresions. Their stories shape my political beliefs to this day. As you go to caucus remember them and think of those who 100 years from now will be remembering the time you are living in now. Do them both proud.

The message got 256 likes. I had no idea that many people even read the page.

I've always admired your perseverance and consistency with this journal and the concept is nothing short of brilliant. Your journal always reminds me of the first time I read A People's History of The United States and I felt like I had cataracts removed from my sight.

Why had I never realized that the history of this country, actually, the entire history of the world, has been one long uninterrupted battle between the haves and the have-nots, the lords and the peasants, the workers and the owners, the resource owners and the resource takers, etc. How did I miss that that was the filter that pretty much explained almost everything that happens, especially as regards social justice and economics? You can see how gains have been made and then how setbacks occur at different points and then you realize suddenly and deeply what MLK was talking about when he said 'The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.'

Thanks so much for this series. I'm embarrassed that I didn't say something like this to you a long, long time ago.
