People miss an important detail in the history of populism and US socialism. Yes, many came from populism but it was the MOST radical members of the populist movement who became socialists. Lots of populist accepted fusionism with the Democrats & later opposed socialists.

Excellent video from Left Reckoning on how Morena successfully built up the left in Mexico!

As some of y'all know I'm working on a book about Texas' radical history, socialists, cowboys, and populists. Two things that have been shocking in the research: 1. How much that history is hidden. It could either be bad scholarship or deliberate…

The STFU was one of the first interracial labor unions in the country and they took on the plantation south, the KKK, and the FDR administration. My new piece of southern labor history is up now! jacobin.com/2023/12/shar...

Great interview on last night's Left Reckoning by @davidgriscom.bsky.social & @mattlech.bsky.social w Malaika Jabali on her new book 'It's Not You, It's Capitalism'. Sounds like fun read using pop culture references to dive into racial capitalism & history of Reconstruction, US Socialist movements..

Tremendous respect for Rashida Tlaib & @coribush.bsky.social for their fight for Palestinian dignity & end of occupation. Sadly cannot say the same for the vast majority of progressives.
