125 years ago, operators of the Penwell coal mine in Pana, Illinois, about 100 miles east of St. Louis, decided to import Black workers from Alabama to break a United Mine Workers strike. The Black workers weren’t told about the strike. Tensions erupted in a gun battle and riot in April 1899, leaving seven dead. Abandoned by mine owners and the state, Black workers left or were driven out of Pana. The town’s population today is 95% white. #UMWA #racism #coal #labor #illinois #stlouis

I told this to Alex a week ago "In the morning to you Alex"; possibly here. Dad was a hardcore #UMWA #union man, voting Democrat because he wouldn't vote against the union.
We debated #Trump #Biden him saying, "I just don't like him" I told him I didn't want to have a beer with him but he's the best man to run the country right now.
I don't necessarily want to have a beer with #tucker but I'm finished with #foxnews
Hey ho the 2 party system has got to go
