"I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway."

Today in Labor History December 1, 1914: The famous labor song, "Solidarity Forever," was written on this date by IWW songwriter Ralph Chaplin. He wrote the song for a hunger march to be led by Lucy Parsons in Chicago (on January 17, 1915).

#NIN - My Violent Heart (Pirate Robot Midget Mix)

"You and I, we may look the same
But we are very far apart
There's bullet holes where my compassion used to be
And there is violence in my heart

Into fire you can send us
From the fire we return
You can label us a consequence
Of how much you have to learn

You can try but you'll never understand
This is something you will never understand
Can you hear it now?
Hear it coming now?
Can you hear it now?

On hands and knees, we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our bonеs, our skin
We will not let you in

You have sеt something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naivety
About to reap what you have sown
(Hand—)
Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there
We will be there

On hands and knees, we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood will stay
We will not go away

On hands and knees, we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood, our grace
Will never leave this place"

HOA: we noticed you are still flying that rainbow flag

Me: is Ralph still flying his gang flag?

HOA: he said he is flying an American flag

Me: No, the American flag is not black

HOA: ok well, it has the stars and stripes

Me: ok my flag also has stripes and the colors red and blue.

HOA: it's not an American flag that's a pride flag

Me: and his flag isn't an American flag, it's a gang flag

HOA: I'll speak to him again about it but you need to take yours down

Me: I will take mine down when he does

HOA: I don't think he's going to take his down

Me: oh well, I won't either then
