I just wanted to quickly say Happy May Day (International Worker’s Day) to everyone!
In case you missed it, I recently wrote an article on the origins of the day - Lessons from the Haymarket Affair.
I also want to express my disgust with Biden proclaiming it to be “Loyalty Day.” This follows a pattern of dismissing the nature of May Day as a day for labor and the working class. Loyalty Day is a nationalistic notion and is a clear attempt to co-opt our Labor Day.
Best wishes to all my comrades on May Day - the true Labor Day!
