Mayday! May Day! Mae Dea!

Local protests recorded.  (I helped march for about a block.)

I had a metaphysical flash, but my brain ate it.

No.  And while we're on the subject, loyalty to country is not the same as loyalty to its "leaders."

ETA:  History of labor movement and May Day, from Homeless on the High Desert, via The Rectification of Names (which has an announcement of the nuptials of Ms. Snyder and Mr. Brooks.  2 snide notes:

1. He's a couple of decades older than she is, and recently was divorced, and is still maundering about morals and traditions and institutions.  I am now old enough to call this situation a cliché.
2. Driftglass, a week or so ago, linked to their gift registry, which among a lot of other things that neither of them seem to have, like potholders and oven mitts, listed an apron.  An apron.  That's symbolic for somebody.

I wish them great happiness and total silence), in case this history wasn't covered in your school.
