How the Chicago-based, Communist Party-associated Farm Equipment Workers union paid homage, on May Day 1938, to Chicago's anarchist martyrs of 1886

Headlines, May 1 1886.

Annual May Day plug for you to read many of the books on this list but specifically The Long Deep Grudge, a book I cannot and will not shut up about, which has deeply influenced my understanding of unions and what is possible in them.

We made a class war reading list for you.

I'm genuinely moved that my book has touched the "rust belt heart" of @mattexx.bsky.social . Made my day -- thanks!

Took me about three months to get through this, but damn! My rust belt heart is overflowing. Thanks @haymarketbooks.org for telling the story I heard about but never understood until now.

Terrific piece providing both a razor-sharp takedown of Isserman's spurious CP history & a valuable overview of the communist organizing in the 20th century, underscoring the centrality of antiracism to those efforts. And thanks @blbalthaser.bsky.social for the shout-out to The Long Deep Grudge!
