The old Inquisition had its rack and its thumbscrews and its instruments of torture with iron teeth. We know what these things are today; the iron teeth are our necessities, the thumbscrews are the high-powered and swift machinery close to which we must work, and the rack is here in the fire-trap structures that will destroy us the minute they catch on fire.

The United States, through the wisdom of its founders, has been free of those national and race wars which have characterized the history of Austria, where racial groups have been organized and recognized as a part of the larger State.

The man who receives five thousand dollars a year wants six thousand dollars a year, and the man who owns eight or nine hundred thousand dollars will want a hundred thousand dollars more to make it a million, while the man who has his millions will want everything he can lay his hands on and then raise his voice against the poor devil who wants ten cents more a day.
Samuel Gompers
From a revolutionary standpoint, in any relations with other social groups, the Marxist puts forward the unquestioned domination of the proletariat. To see the peasant in any other light fundamentally than as an ally of the proletariat under the leadership of the latter is to undermine the foundations of proletarian revolutionary rule.

Whether they work or not, [women] really know the community, and the kids, and so forth, a little more than sometimes the men do, not that the men don't.

Here's a @Flipboard Storyboard curated by @miaq that celebrates the work of photographers of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. Discover Corky Lee's documentation of Asian American activism, how Manny Crisostomo travels to capture images of Indigenous and Pacific Islander people, and more. “Our ancestors have been voyagers for millennia. I’m one of those voyagers 4,000 years later—except I get on an airplane, it’s a little faster!” says Crisostomo, who is Guam's only Pulitzer-winning photojournalist.
