Just a girl living in captivity

On this day, 15 August 1845, British artist, book illustrator, and socialist Walter Crane was born. Like his friend William Morris, he sought to bring art into the daily life of all classes and was involed in the Arts and Crafts movement. He produced art for a number of socialist and anarchist papers and publishers, such as The Commonweal and Freedom Press. His political art touched on such subjects as international working class solidarity, the Paris Commune of 1871, and the anarchist Haymarket martyrs, who are commemorated by the May Day holiday – the latter of which caused some controversy among the bourgeois art world in the US. We have reproduced some of his artwork to help fund our work: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/all/walter-crane To access this link, click our link in bio # 1 then click this image

Some more cool works by Walter Crane:

The way people are acting about Mangione's guilty plea is pissing me off. Again, much of the evidence they had against Mangione was seriously flawed or capable of being planted. Much of it should have been inadmissable. This is something we shouldn't cede because guilt needs to be proven beyond reasonable doubt in court. They did not do that. Many reasonable doubts remained, particularly for police forces we know have a history of fabricating evidence. Further, the strategy of the state is to pressure defendants into putting in a guilty plea on some kind of bargain. The reason Mangione did this is to get around the federal death penalty. Every day, people in America plead guilty to crimes they didn't do, because the cost of being found guilty by trial is too severe, and they have been intimidated or coerced to compliance. We have reason to believe Mangione was physically tortured at the beginning of all this. The guy has been the target of years of media campaign. There's no way he would have gotten a fair trial. As soon as he was arrested, everyone just accepted it was him. He could have gotten the death penalty. This is the exact kind of circumstance where people plead guilty to shit they didn't do.
