#OtD 7 Jan 1913 a strike for the 8-hour day began in Peru after workers rejected proposals from employers. In El Callao, there was a total stoppage of industry as gasworkers, mill workers, typographers, bakers and other unions came out on strike stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1070...

Butker should step aside. Make his wife a sandwich. He should realize his life really started when he became a husband and a father. He should give up his day job. He should realize he’s been told diabolical lies — his place is in the home.

Government is supposed to work for the people. Thanks you, @governorwalz.mn.gov. May all the rest follow.

Increasing! #SixthNight #Hanukkah 🕎🎗️✡️

“At a time when our politics is poisoned by cruelty, hate and malignant narcissism—and where too many self-described Christians appear driven by grievance and self-righteous aggression—the good works of Jimmy Carter offer a necessary reminder…of humanity.” www.americaamerica.news/p/jimmy-cart...

The reason the 5th night of Chanukah is my favorite (in addition to it being my birthday!) It's the first night that more candles are lit in the Menorah than unlit, showing that even if progress may seem slow at times, eventually light and good will win over dark and evil!

A group of retired Black women in Philly gather weekly to sew period pads for girls in Africa. Along the way, they've also built a community here "We believe in each other and have faith in ourselves, and we have faith others are going to support us”

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

God bless you Jimmy Carter. What a true humanitarian and good man you were .Fly with the angels . Dance in the arms of your beloved Rosalynn

#OtD 28 Dec 1869 the Knights of Labor union, one of the first in the United States, was formed. Though officially denouncing strikes, its rank-and-file members organised them and won several important victories against powerful employers. Learn more: shop.workingclasshistory.com/...

Please remember that President Carter appointed more minorities and women to the bench than all previous presidents combined. He was the first President to embrace the concept of bringing racial diversity to the federal bench. A key aspect of his legacy. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/poli...

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others” For me, nobody epitomizes this quote better than Jimmy Carter. Rest in peace, good Sir. May your character, compassion and deeds inspire generations to understand the true meaning of a life well lived.

RIP Jimmy Carter.

President Carter defined what it means to be a servant leader. He fought for our democracy, our climate, humanity, and civil rights around the world. We can find peace today knowing that he is reunited with the love his life, Rosalynn.

When The Carter Center began leading the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease in 1986, there were an estimated 3.5 million cases in at least 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Today, that number has been reduced by more than 99.99%. In 2024 so far there have been 7 cases. #legacy

Arguably one of Jimmy Carter's greatest achievement is bringing the world to the brink of eradicating the Guinea Worm. From 3.5m cases a year in the 80s to less than 15 the last few years. It's an astounding public health achievement.

The alleviation of women's abuse "is made less likely by the mandated subservience of women by Christian fundamentalists. What is especially disappointing...is the docile acceptance by so many strong Christian women of their subjugation & restricted role." - Jimmy Carter (RIP)

This one is in honor of Jimmy Carter for a life of kindness and service to humanity 🌊🌊RIP

Today, we mourn the loss of a true American hero, President Jimmy Carter. A champion of human rights, urban renewal, and peace, his legacy will forever inspire.

Bravo! A working class man stepping up and cutting through the BS... www.youtube.com/@TheRealTexa...

Habari Gani! Wishing a joyful and peaceful Kwanzaa to all my people in TX30 and everywhere across the nation! Let this time be filled with unity, reflection, and that good energy that lifts us all up. May these days bring you closer through the celebration of your heritage.

#OtD 15 Dec 1890 Hunkpapa Lakota leader Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake (Sitting Bull) was killed by Indian police in the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota when he refused to cooperate with arrest. Learn more about Indigenous genocide & resistance in this book: shop.workingclasshistory.com/...
