Intelligent discontent is the mainspring of civilization. Progress is born of agitation. It is agitation or stagnation.

December 25, 1921
President Harding announced the release of Socialist Party leader Eugene V. Debs from prison, unconditionally commuting his 10-year sentence to time served. Debs’s full rights as a citizen, however, were not restored. He had been imprisoned for his vocal opposition to U.S. participation in World War I.
Following a meeting with the president and attorney general, Debs commented,". . . a convict for his principles is always a citizen in good standing. He is a citizen by his own inherent, God-given integrity. The only man who loses his citizenship is the man who renounces his principles and abdicates his manhood."

#TIL that the @theforward began in 1897 as a deep-red #EugeneDebs-supporting #Yiddish-language socialist newspaper. Their sister radio station, "WEVD", took it's name from the initials for "Eugene Victor Debs". #History #Politics #Religion #Judaism #Socialism #ZohranMamdani https://forward.com/culture/781654/mamdani-eugene-debs-socialism-forverts-ab-cahan-jewish/

“On the 4th of July, when reference is made to the capitalist flag that symbolizes the triumph of capitalism only, thousands… will applaud their own degradation. What is wanted is not a reform of the capitalist system, but its entire abolition.”

Refresher on this meme which is going around again: one of the convicted criminals who previously ran for President was #EugeneDebs, convicted for crimes related to labour organising and then for a 10 year term for giving an anti-war speech in 1918.
Felons should vote and felons should run for election.
In the UK, I can think of two prisoners who were elected as MPs during their time in prison: #BobbySands and #ConstanceMarkievicz, the latter being the first woman ever elected as an MP.
