"Those who do not move, do not notice their chains!" says Rosa Luxemburg.  In a lot of places May 1 is a day to move and  notice their jangle of the chain,show solidarity, celebrate their historical contribution to the workers' lives, and unite against exploitation and injustice. I know most of you (Americans) do not celebrate May Day (International Workers' Day!), I still would like to celebrate your May Day.

 Happy May Day everyone!

it has been 20 weeks since Joe died, seems like 20 minutes...seems like 20 years.  Words cannot thank you all enough for your support and love.  We have finished the traveling "Joe show," in that there will be no more memorials in public.  We had an amazing time in San Diego with beloved friends and colleagues and will post that celebration in the next week or so.

I live in the South, maybe in 2009 very much the "south" of the South in SC. . .and the partisan bitterness and rightwing-as-norm are heavy as a blinding fog.
