Another magnitude 7 quake in western Japan last night. My friends and fam safe, but I know someone else’s aren’t. You’d never know how it feels like unless you had to go thru this, it sucks to have to wonder and worry if people you know are alive or not so frequently.

Hi folks I’m safe - about half an hour later than the Venezuelan earthquake, a magnitude 7.2 one hit our area in northern Japan. Fortunately no one was killed and there was no tsunami, which took too many lives back in 2011. Truly heartbreaking to hear about the situation in Venezuela.

As someone who has studied the UCAPAWA for years the STFU has always been fascinating to me. The UCAPAWA had too many problems with the tenant farmers union as explained below. The only problem I have with them is that Word always wants me to check spelling whenever I write about them

This Day in Labor History: July 11, 1934. The Southern Tenant Farmers Union formed when eleven white farmers and seven black farmers met in Tyronza, Arkansas to form a union of sharecroppers to fight for poor farmers’ rights. Let's talk about sharecroppers and their fight during the Depression!
