Bread for all and roses too
Mamdani is here describing a vision of working-class consumerism that resonates with the 19th century theorists of the “living wage” and shorter hours movements, whom I wrote about in my first book. “Eight Hours for What Will,” very much included the arts, education, and pleasure.

One thing about Minneapolis is most everyone knows where to go and what to do. I don’t generally see locals doom-posting. They’re out at vigils and protests or running mutual aid. My block leader and neighbors have already disseminated information about where to direct resources, effort, and energy.

Speaking just to what I’m seeing: person of conscience in MPLS is activated right now. Every neighbor, everyone at church, the social groups, everyone. “Apolitical” people are raising their risk thresholds pretty rapidly. This is all horrible but there’s something happening

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Hey, get that flu shot. Knowing folks who are catching this current flu and it's kicking them in the teeth -- the shot will, worst case scenario, prevent it from taking you to the hospital or the morgue. It might knock it out quicker for you or even help you duck catching it. (Mask up, too.)
