Stumbled upon this destruction along the Chicago lakefront path while on a photo shoot South of the 49th Street Beach. 🤯All caused by high Lake Michigan levels, wind and big waves.

At the '69 SDS convention - which began 53 years ago today - Weathermen chose to split SDS over support for the Black Power Movement. Many saw this as the start of the Bad '60s, but their choice to act as comrades to Black freedom fighters feels praiseworthy today. Crooked Media

Interesting piece. It's worth recalling that the lies spouted (and believed) by the Jan. 6 insurrectionists are about their fears of losing white power to the rise of a pluralistic anti-authoritarian truly democratic polity.

Inflation woes, panic @ the pump, foreign wars, dissensus among progressive movements, environmental crises, a sense that the good days had come and gone - the late 1970s were a helluva time to be born into a tradition of revolutionary struggle. #MotherCountryRadicals Zayd Ayers Dohrn

Thanks @Reinelaitiere! I know I'm biased, but she is indeed my personal hero. Working with people like Ella Baker and Mary Church Terrell, she was a brilliant movement builder. And her motto, "It takes a spectrum" is one that all Progressive activists can live by.
