It looks a little like a Skyfall.

Two very niche board games from the 70s: "Snit's Revenge" "Lie, Cheat, and Steal"

And an old Avalon Hill wargame: "Wooden Ships and Iron Men"

I really like this one. It takes us right up to the threshold of prison time. Icing on the cake would be a courtroom video, but I don't really need it. We all know how it goes.

In the past I've used Spice, RT, Jira at work. Freshdesk free works for home. Also a simple bullet list in Google docs.

My GG grandfather was killed when soldiers fired into an unarmed crowd that was protesting for basic human rights. This was in Marineo, Sicily, on 3 January 1894. His widow had to flee to the NYC tenements with their 6 children to start fresh - as progressive sympathizers were not safe.

She was poor in Sicily, she was destitute when she arrived in the US. Like many others, she did garment piece work to get by. Other Sicilian immigrants arrived in a wave and they made a new community.

When the Triangle Fire happened, real labor reform began to happen through the work of the ILGWU and others. They did not stop protesting until they got results.

Yes. Hard times ahead. Hard times behind may show us the way forward. Ad astra per áspera.

My father's death was one of the best things that happened to me.

My take:

To demonstrate that there is a more leftist population in the US public than is regularly recognized and shift the entire discussion in that direction.

To create a strong alternative to the major pro-corporate parties that is more in line with the rest of the liberal parties around the world.

To oppose the highly organized far right.


No, I won't vote for her this year. But I can appreciate the above goals.

 

Just heard the interview on NPR. Worth a read.
