Facing a massive budgetary crisis, Zohran Mamdani is breaking with technocratic norms to openly explain the deficit while reiterating his pledges to oppose austerity and tax the rich — which means walking a political tightrope with Gov.

On November 1st, 1977, President Carter signed a law raising the minimum wage to $3.35 an hour from $2.25. He was flanked by people who were there in 1938 when FDR signed the first minimum wage into law. But on the same day, the US withdrew from the ILO. It may have had its issues, but all that did was send mixed messages to the 99% about the commitment of the Democratic Party to organized labor. And then the Democrats wonder why they lost in 1980 to Ronald Reagan. #1u

The convention focused on securing the right to vote, access to education, and constitutional rights in the post-Civil War Reconstruction Era. The was a reaction to the forming of the National Labor Organization in 1866 that excluded Black workers. https://www.laborpress.org/first-national-union-formed-for-black-workers/ #BlackHistory #1u
