May 1 is one of my favorite days of the year. It’s the day around the world when people who actually work for a living push back against the entitled rich (like our current president and his cronies).
The United States government actually tried to make its citizens forget the significance of May 1, by designating a completely time of year (the first Monday in September) as “Labor Day”. Ironically, the tradition of Labor Day was started in the U.S. (in Chicago in particular, in 1886 — you could look it up).
To this day, May 1 is celebrated by workers all around the world. And this year, that celebration has also been taken up by millions of Americans, possibly because the U.S. government has recently become so openly hateful and contemptuous toward its own citizenry.
