Today In Labor History April 11, 1934: Frank Norman, who had the gall to organize ALL citrus workers in the south, regardless of their race, was kidnapped from his home in Florida and murdered by Ku Klux Klansmen, dressed in local sheriff’s uniforms. Despite overwhelming evidence from the union, the case was swept under the rug by state officials, in the pocket of the citrus bosses. In May, 2018, the Sioux Falls AFL-CIO passed a resolution banning fascists and white supremacists from holding any positions of power in their union. In their resolution, they referenced both the murder of Frank Norman, and the recent murder of Heather Heyer, by white supremacists, in Charlottesville.

Magazine article, with picture of klansmen, dressed in hoods and robes, facing off against a room full of African American people, and the headline: Union Organizer murdered by kkk on April 11, 1934.

Reiterating my previous reminder to my self-diagnosed and suspected autistic and other ND friends: Now is *not* the time to go for formal diagnosis.

Why? The same people unlawfully deporting random non-white people to prison in El Salvador and refusing judicial orders to fix it are now declaring you a problem to be cured or fixed.

Yo, you can call me Muenster. I'm new here, and looking for community. I made it to my early 30s so far.

I'm a former liberal who was discontent with capitalism but didn't see an alternative to voting because I believed too hard in the USA's fucked up power structures. As of typing this, I'm only about 5 months into considering myself an anarchist in theory. So with that comes the warning that some of my opinions might be colored by that recent background; I am open to discussion and learning in an attempt to better myself.

I say anarchist in theory because I don't really believe anarchism is something you think, it's something you do. Praxis, I'm still working on figuring out and would love any tips on getting started ESPECIALLY in a rural area.

I'm kind of a doomer and prone to hopelessness. That ain't the vibe I want to maintain, and I'm trying to buck it. It's not helpful, it's not healthy, and it's not praxis. You see me being that way, slap me upside the head because I sometimes do it without self-awareness.

Personal interests include zines, electronics/soldering/circuit board design, new foods, new people, LGBTQIA+ rights, social justice and decolonization, music discovery, just to name a few.

Not sure what else to add other than I'm excited to get started on this type of platform. The algorithms over on bsky were just feeding me rage, so it'll be nice to curate my experience for a more healthy community interaction. Cheers!
