Wish I could join the marches for migrant rights and justice for the workers murdered by capitalism in Bangladesh that are going on today, but alas, my crip status and physio appointment today rule that out. So, you know. Celebrate for me.
I may have related this before: One May 1st I was in Chicago's Graceland Cemetery and saw a bunch of cute punk kids with Anarchy t-shirts laying a wreath on Governor Altgeld's grave, then they gave Pinkerton's grade the finger.
I'd like to think that happens every year.
The Haymarket martyrs were buried out in Forest Park. Holy cow, after looking up that cemetery I must go there.
The only weird part is that Pinkerton was such a shitbag that even a racist terrorist creep like Jesse James becomes a hero for the simple fact that Pinkerton never could kill him.
