Back in February, I had an article published with @cosmonautmag.bsky.social about Filippo Bocchini, an IWW organizer turned fascist and the irrational basis of fascism. Check it out.

#MotherJones, infamous #labour #union agitator and #IWW cofounder, was expelled from Colorado on #ThisDayInHistory in 1904, for inspiring workers during a #strike.
If you don't know who she is, this is a fun place to start:

IWW strikers arrested near Savona in April 1912 during the Northern railway construction strike. They are standing outside, uncuffed, with telephone poles and hills in the background.
Today In #LaborHistory 3/27/1912: #IWW Northern #railroad #strike began in #Canada. >8,000 workers walked off job. Picketed #employment offices in #Vancouver, #Seattle, #SanFrancisco, #Minneapolis to block the hiring of #scabs.

14 #Wobblies were arrested on #ThisDayInHistory in 1915 in a failed effort to drive the #syndicalist #union out of #SiouxCity, #Iowa. Their "crime" was holding street meetings to provoke arrest & fill the gaols in a #FreeSpeechFight lasting 'til #IWW won its rights in late April.
Man, of all the punchable faces in the world, this brollionaire definitely ranks right up there as having one of the highest PQs (punchable quotients) imaginable. Smug, condescending, gross--everything that is wrong with America on one stupid face. Time to resurrect the Wobblies. Not kidding. #IWW

IWW Prison solidarity poster, showing a man behind bars, with the caption, “Remember, we’re in here for you; You’re out there for us.”
Today in #LaborHistory 3/23/1918: 101 #IWW members went on trial for opposing #WorldWarI. All were convicted. #BigBillHaywood & 14 others sentenced to 20 yrs in #prison. Fines totaled $2,500,000. Trial virtually destroyed IWW. Haywood jumped bail & fled to #USSR.
I've been a dues-paying #Wobbly for roughly 14 months now. Joining the #IWW is a long-term plan towards unionizing your workplace and supporting #unions & #DirectAction everywhere, & definitely worth it.
If you're interested in my book but rightfully don't want to give money to Amazon, paperbacks are also available from the Industrial Workers of the World's online store:

Last night I did a reading/signing for my book at Athenix Books & Brews in Little Falls. It was a great time! If you'd like a copy of my book, it's available on Amazon, Algora Publishing, the IWW's online store, and Barnes & Noble.

The back of a black cat's head - with a red IWW badge resting on his neck (don't worry - I didn't pin it on)
I was made redundant a couple weeks ago. From a school I’d worked at for 15 years, They gave us 5 days notice
Fortunately, I’m a member of a union. As were all the other teachers.
Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) were with us every step of the way […]

The #BreadAndRosesStrike ended successfully on #ThisDayInHistory in 1912. #IWW led 20,000 garment workers, mostly women and girls, in the #Lawrence, MA, action, holding out against savage #police violence, to secure a 15% raise, amnesty for strikers, and double-pay for #overtime.
I am an unapologetic socialist.
Fuck liberalism. It exists to cave to fascists and coddle the rich.

The latest story on IW! Fellow Worker Tegan contrasts the typical protest with the more emotionally charged direct actions we are seeing out of Minnesota, and how that relates to organizing the workplace.
