I’m sure members of the UFW who were in the know did their absolute best to keep it under wraps. But that’s only part of it—fear, intimidation, blow back for any writer who might’ve investigated probably also had a hand in this.

My current pleasure read is Ron Chernow’s excellent recent biography of Mark Twain, and I’ll never not be amazed that this little silent film of him (with his daughters Jean and Clara) still exists. Shot by none other than Thomas Edison, too.

Revolutionary Teamsters: Remembering the 1934 Minneapolis General Strike - Left Voice On January 23, working people in Minnesota will shut it all down to demand ICE out of our communities and justice for Renee Nicole Good. Unions must mobilize, as they did in 1934, to harness the power...

There Is a Way Out of This Mess www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/o...

One of the best debuts albums in rock and roll history.

#nowspinning #vinylcommunity

I’m always struck by how much I love this record as soon as “Jailbreak” kicks in. Melodic, hard rocking and uptempo…easily one of the best albums of the seventies

Guano Apes! Loved them. Saw ‘em live in Dallas back in the day.

Morning jams with this absolute classic. Merry Christmas!

#nowspinning #VinylCommunity

This is my first time listening to them! Great band.

#nowspinning All them Witches, “Lightning at the Door.” My dad got this for me for Christmas. Really creative/avant-garde blues rock. Good stuff.
