Unfortunately, I was an #obama voter. Pls stop. This the same man who went to #Flint and drank (or pretended to drink) the water like everything was fine. It was hateful and dangerous to millions of ppl for him to do so. A militarized police force on the streets of #Ferguson also happened under this man's watch. The destabilization of #Libya (and return to slαv∈ markets) also happened under him. If he would've made Blackstone's Invitation Homes take their medicine.. let me stop. 😑

Foolish tweet by charise_lee (Meidas) about the Obama admin being a time "when life was fun"

Today in Labor History January 29, 1936: Rubber workers engaged in a sit-down strike in Akron, Ohio. Their action helped establish the United Rubber Workers as a national union. Working conditions and pay were terrible and workers and virtually no benefits. They engaged in numerous sit-down strikes in the 1930s. Theirs preceded the more famous Flint sit-down strike of 1936-1937. The first American sit-down strike was probably in 1909, when 3,000 members of the IWW engaged in a sit-down strike against General Electric, in Schenectady, NY.

Oh my, what a treat. “TipOfDay. I was gifted a “medicine ball” tea from Starbucks last weekend and really enjoyed it. Reminded me of the old “waitress remedy” for a sore throat and cold when you still have to work. I avoid Starbucks and just won’t pay the high expense for coffees there. I got 3, 20 oz hot tea drinks from the one tall paper cup because they left 2 teabags in it. Perfect for someone with fierce bronchitis.

Worked most of the day on opening dusty and dirty boxes of rocks and crystals (see posts yesterday) and all that dust in the air, whoa. Kinda made my congestion and coughing worse. So I found a copycat recipe online and winged it. Bingo! 1 bag green tea, 1 peppermint tea and 1 peach flavor tea. Added lemon juice and raw honey. It works! #Tea #MedicineBall #Bronchitis #Fossils #Nacre #Flint #Display

A stained glass window with a design of a rainbow pushing open a locked door. The rainbow's colors are labeled with equality, honesty, freedom, hope, acceptance, and protection. White hands push against the door, trying to keep it shut. The hands are labeled fear, hate, denial, rejection and ignorance. A bus is visible through the window.

Today in Labor History January 11, 1937: Police tried to raid the Fisher Body plant during the Flint Sit-Down Strike against General Motors. Workers threw hinges, bottles and bolts at the cops, effectively holding them off. However, the cops injured 14 strikers with gunfire. They had been occupying the plant for nearly two weeks. And they would continue their sit-down strike until February 11. They ultimately won a 5% raise and the UAW signed up 100,000 members in the wake of the strike.

Today in Labor History December 30, 1936: Auto workers began their historic sit-down strike at the GM Fisher plant in Flint, Michigan. The protest effectively changed the United Automobile Workers (UAW) from a collection of small local unions into a major national labor union. It also led to the unionization of the domestic automobile industry. By occupying the plant, they prevented management from bringing in scabs and keeping the plant running and making money. Furthermore, by occupying the plant, they weren’t forced to picked outside in the snow. On January 11, police armed with guns and tear gas tried to storm the plant. Strikers repeatedly repelled them by throwing hinges, bottles and bolts at them. Fourteen strikers were injured by police gunfire during the strike. In February, GM got an injunction against the union by Judge Edward Black, who owned over three thousand shares of GM. The strikers ignored the injunction. And when the UAW found out about the conflict of interests, they got the judge disbarred. The strike ended after 44 days with GM recognizing the union and giving its workers a 5% raise. Filmmaker Michael Moore’s uncle participated in the strike. The first documented sit-down strike in the U.S. occurred when the IWW engaged in a sit-down strike against General Electric, in Schenectady, NY, in 1909.
