Today in history, 1934: Tens of thousands of textile workers go on strike in the Deep South. By the end of the first week, up to 500,000 workers walked out across 15 states. Just 50 years later, working-class voters in that region became the most reliable anti-labor, Repub base. /1

Full text of Mark Carney’s speech yesterday. Here’s a line that few are reporting but that seems crucial: because the US no longer can make—or wants to make—credible commitments, it’s kneecapped its own ability to reach agreements.

on this day in 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court rules in an unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education, racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. "We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place."
