May 26, 1824 - On this day in 1824, 102 women and girls organized the first factory strike in the United States at Pawtucket’s Slater Mill, a textile factory in Rhode Island. After owners slashed their pay 25% and added unpaid hours (calling their wages “extravagant”), women fought back. The strike grew into a fiery revolt. The girls and women were joined by other working-class sectors and the bosses were forced to finally negotiate. Their defiance ignited a wave of worker uprisings. [link]

The Rhode Island ice rink shooter was nazi transwoman whose twitter/X history was full of racist/misogynist/xenophobic/antisemitic posts/replies.

He really liked Alex Jones and felt betrayed when he and other conservatives made anti trans posts

His other replies were him trying to flirt with adult content creators which I’m not going to post. The accounts he was following were porn and politics all the way down.

Leaving this here for anyone who needs a quick fact check following the Tumbler Ridge and Pawtucket shootings.

Suspect ID'd in Pawtucket ice rink shooting that left two dead: What we know

A shooting at a Pawtucket ice rink left two dead and multiple wounded in critical condition. The suspect is also dead.

A half hour from me by car. We’ll never be safe until the NRA and the Republican crime syndicate are banished to the dustbin of history.
