The workers of Detroit showed up MayDay in Motown. Birthplace of the UAW. The workers showed up to celebrate their labors and confront those that would dismiss them. #MayDay #Detroit #Michigan #Rally

#otd — Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement (DRUM) staged a wildcat strike against Chrysler Corporation at the Dodge Main plant in Hamtramck on May 2, 1968 to demand that both the company and the #union make improvements for Black workers. Led by factory worker and DRUM leader General Gordon Baker, DRUM used the wildcat #strike as a powerful tool. UAW leadership actively condemned DRUM’s actions and Marxist #politics, and the organization folded in the early seventies. In that short time, DRUM and it’s umbrella organization, the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, forced the UAW to face its own systematic #racism, helped end the racially charged S.T.R.E.S.S. #police program, and improved working conditions in factories around Metro #Detroit.”

SWMBO & I tried a new-to-us franchise(?) operation called "NYC Halal Eats" with some trepidation, as we've been disappointed by other places that pop up on DoorDash w/suspiciously glossy presentation and by a couple of less-than-great middle-eastern places.

But they had fabulous food. A huge menu. They are apparently *not* a local operation, which explains why its menu doesn't read like it was salvaged from the old LaShish chain.
