I don't only think that college should be FREE but I think young people should also receive living stipends while in school. Finally, I do not care what they major in because education needs to actually BE DECOUPLED from a future job. You are welcome. You should have 4 years to study anything.

looking forward to brooklyn TICKETS: www.ticketmaster.com/event/300064... @haymarketbooks.org @greenlightbklyn.bsky.social

honestly if some venture capitalist /tech mogul can remake an entire university in a matter of a year or two in exchange for around 2 days of Bezos’s salary(USC founded 1880), it means that any rich person can do anything to any of our institutions at any time unless we take them back systematically

Happy birthday, Karl Marx!

You folks did change my world. Your bundle of free ebooks that you offered at the start of covid fundamentally reshaped my thinking, and you're the main reason I became a leftist.

This year, we‘re celebrating 25 years of publishing books for changing the world! 🌻 We’re so grateful to @ollycostello.bsky.social for this beautiful new illustration. Another world is possible if we fight for it.

My latest in @truthout.org: Before 1776 or 1619, enslaved Africans freed themselves in 1526 on land that became the U.S. 500 years later, during the #America250 hype, this history reminds us: freedom wasn’t given by men in powdered wigs—it was seized by the enslaved. truthout.org/articles/500...

If you’re in Chicago, join us today at Haymarket House to celebrate. We’ll have delicious food, music, books, comrades, and we’ll be giving away prints of Olly’s design. 🔗 Tickets here, or you can come through and register on site:

Chicago folks! Amy Goodman, independent journalism, cello music soundtrack!

Go check out their sales when you get home! They run great sales on their books. This is a wonderful time to read about labor, landlords, history, etc.

Happy May Day! Our office is closed today; we’ll see you in the streets!

BREAD AND ROSES, BABYYYYY

Haymarket’s Dana Blanchard is live now on WBEZ talking about the history of May Day in Chicago

What are you reading this weekend?

We put together a class war reading list because *gestures around*

If you’re in Chicago, join us on Saturday to celebrate with food, music, books, and comrades.

I do frequently wonder what the average citizen of the U.S. knows about Reconstruction. As Du Bois would later point out, the backlash of lost cause propaganda didn’t just create mass disinformation about the civil war itself, but about the opening for actual democracy that briefly came after it.

Happy May Day! Our office is closed today; we’ll see you in the streets!

In celebration of May Day and the radical history of the working class, we've put together this Class War Reading List. See you in the streets tomorrow!

Requesting your local public library to add these books to their collection is a great way to celebrate May Day. #MayDay

Multiracial democracy in the American South has briefly existed twice in American history, both times enforced from outside, and both times has lapsed the instant the rest of the country lost interest.
