In 2014, archaeologists in Bulgaria uncovered a 13th century “vampire” with a stake through his heart. The remains were that of a man in his 40s who had an iron stake through his chest. His left leg had also been amputated and placed beside the body.

“The means of production being the collective work of humanity, the product should be the collective property of the race. Individual appropriation is neither just nor serviceable. All belongs to all. All things are for all men, since all men have need of them, since all men have worked in the measure of their strength to produce them, and since it is not possible to evaluate every one’s part in the production of the world’s wealth.” — Peter Kropotkin, The Conquest of Bread (via philosophybits)

State and local governments spend billions of dollars hiring contractors for goods and services, but most of those contracts go to white-owned businesses, not minority contractors — despite decades of affirmative action and other policies meant to make up for disparities.
A federal study released by the Minority Business Development Agency in early 2017 found the needle has barely moved on boosting minority business participation in public contracts.
Albert Shen, the former deputy chief of minority business development under President Obama, believes one reason is that government procurement officials just hire who they know.

On this day, 20 February 1834 the first Lowell “mill girls” strike occurred in New England when 800 women textile workers walked out against a 15% pay cut. They also immediately withdrew all of their savings, causing a run on two local banks.
While the stoppage was unsuccessful in preventing the pay cut, it was a powerful message that women workers in the area would no longer be meek and pliable.
The very first factory strike in US history also occurred in New England a few years beforehand organised by women workers.
