Historian Gerard Koskovich posted this flier and post today, the 45th anniversary of the White Night Riots in San Francisco.

gkoskovich Forty-five years ago today, Dan White was found guilty of manslaughter instead of murder for the assassinations of San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk (1930-1978), the first openly gay elected official in California, and progressive Mayor George Moscone (1929-1978). White was given a sentence of just seven years in prison. In response, thousands marched from the gay Castro neighborhood to San Francisco City Hall, where a riot broke out. Protesters smashed all the windows on the ground floor of the monumental beaux-arts building, torched a dozen police cars parked at one side of Civic Center Plaza and carried on an hours-long running battle with the police. Supervisor Harry Britt (1938-2020), named to replace Harvey Milk on the Board of Supervisors, refused to condemn the rioters. Interviewed by a local television station, he stated bluntly, "We're reacting with anger because we are angry."
The graphic shows a detail of a flyer from the archives of the GLBT Historical Society (@glbt_history) which was produced by the committee that raised funds for the legal defense of protesters arrested during the uprising. In classic queer form, it mixes righteous rage with fabulous wit to expose injustice: "Oh, beautiful, for sissy power that cannot be contained. / We fought at Stonewall decked in drag, we want more fruited plains. / America, America, gays are oppressed by thee. / When called to fight, we'll do it right, with no apology!" Be sure to note the names of the colors for the color-by-number illustration of a burning cop car. Keep in mind that "amazon" in 1979 referred to the feminist recuperation of the Greek legend of women warriors, not to the late-capitalist corporate behemoth. If only we had this set of crayons handy for daily use.

#justiceclarencethomas faced criticism on Tuesday over comments he made during a case focused on the #January6 2021, #riot at the #Capitol.

"In oral argument today, Justice Thomas is minimizing the severity of the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. Perhaps that's because his #wife was part of the conspiracy. What a disgrace that he's sitting on this case," lawyer Jeffrey Toobin wrote on X.

Today in Labor History April 2, 1863: Bread riots occurred in Richmond, Virginia, as a result of a drought the previous year, combined with a blockade by the Union Army and overall Civil War-related shortages. Food riots occurred throughout the South around this time, led primarily by women. During the Richmond riot, women broke into storehouses and shops, stealing food, clothing and jewelry before the militia was able to restore order.

Today in Labor History March 18, 1918: U.S. authorities arrested Mexican anarchist Ricardo Flores Magón under the Espionage Act. They charged him with hindering the American war effort and imprisoned him at Leavenworth, where he died under highly suspicious circumstances. The authorities claimed he died of a "heart attack," but Chicano inmates rioted after his death and killed the prison guard who they believed executed him. Magon published the periodical “Regeneracion” with his brother Jesus, and with Licenciado Antonio Horcasitas. The Magonostas later led a revolution in Baja California during the Mexican Revolution. Many American members of the IWW participated. During the uprising, they conquered and held Tijuana for several days. Lowell Blaisdell writes about it in his now hard to find book, “The Desert Revolution,” (1962). Dos Passos references in his “USA Trilogy.”

Today in Labor History March 13, 1968: Student demonstrations in Warsaw led to street riots. All Polish universities went out on strike against the repressive communist regime, with students occupying the campus buildings. The strike, which came in the wake of Soviet withdrawals of diplomatic relations with Israel, in the protest of the 1967 war, spread throughout the country, leading to a violent government crackdown and antisemitic purge that was branded as anti-Zionism. Thousands of Jews fled the country because of political harassment and being fired from their jobs.

Today in Labor History March 11, 1919: Ukrainian Jewish anarchist Mollie Steimer was arrested in New York City and charged with inciting to riot. She was charged with sedition and eventually deported to Soviet Russia, where she met her lifelong partner Senya Fleshin. The two agitated for the rights of anarchist political prisoners in the USSR. The authorities there deported her again, this time to western Europe, where she and Fleshin organized aid for political prisoners. With the rise of the Nazis in Europe, she and Fleshin fled to Mexico, where they spent the rest of their lives working as photographers. She died in 1980.

Today in Labor History March 6, 1930: 100,000 people demonstrated for jobs in New York City. Demonstrations by unemployed workers, demanding unemployment insurance, occurred in virtually every major U.S. city. In New York, police attacked a crowd of 35,000. In Cleveland, 10,000 people battled police. In Detroit, the Communist Party organized an underemployment demonstration. Over 50,000 people showed up. Thousands took to the streets in Toledo, Flint and Pontiac. These demonstrations led to the creation of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), sponsored by Republican congressman Hamilton Fish, with the support of the American Federation of Labor, to investigate and quash radical activities.

Today in Labor History February 24, 1917: The Petrograd bread riot that started yesterday (March 8 on Western calendars) turned into a revolution. Soldiers refused to fire on demonstrators and turned on their officers. Then they stormed the arsenal and liberated 20,000 automatic pistols, torched the police stations and emptied the prisons.

Today in Labor History February 22, 1918: At the height of the first Red Scare, U.S. authorities raided the office of “Cronaca Sovversiva.” Sacco and Vanzetti had written for this anarchist paper and donated money to it. It was their first documented link to the anarchist movement. Luigi Galleani published the paper from 1903 to 1920. He came to the U.S. in 1901 after escaping from an Italian prison. He participated in the Paterson silk strike where he was wounded and charged with rioting.

Today in Labor History February 13, 1837: A Flour Riot occurred in New York City. 6,000 New Yorkers, attending a "bread, meat, rent, and fuel" meeting in Chatham Square, assaulted local flour merchants who they claimed were hoarding flour in order to drive up the price. The Locofocos (a libertarian-like faction of the Democratic Party that opposed Tammany Hall) organized a public protest against runaway prices that turned into a riot. The police arrested 40 people.

Today in Labor History February 10, 1355: The St Scholastica Day riot broke out in Oxford, England. 63 scholars and up to 30 locals died in rioting. It started when two students from the University of Oxford complained about the quality of wine in a Tavern. The students’ quarrel with the tavern-keeper escalated to blows. Other customers joined in and the melee turned into a riot. The violence continued for over three days, with armed gangs coming in from the countryside to assist the townspeople. Violent disagreements between townspeople and students were common, due in part to privileges the crown gave to the university at the town’s expense.

J'ai commencé par éclater le « j'ai rien à cacher » avec la porte des toilettes.

Puis j'ai rappelé l'histoire de l'avortement aux États-Unis, qui est devenu illégal du jour au lendemain avec des conséquences dramatiques pour trop de femmes.

Today in Labor History January 31, 1971: For the second time in six months, rioting broke out during an anti-war protest in East Los Angeles. Police fired into the crowd, killing one protester. The anti-war demonstrations were organized by the Chicano Moratorium. Chicanos were dying at a higher rate during the Vietnam War than white Americans. During the August 29, 1970 protests, police killed three people, including Journalist Ruben Salazar. Oscar Zeta Acosta portrayed Salazar in his 1973 novel, “The Revolt of the Cockroach People.” Hunter S. Thompson portrayed Acosta as his “Samoan attorney” in “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.”

Today in Labor History January 30, 1970: 20,000 people rioted in Manila. They were protesting the regime of US-backed dictator Ferdinand Marcos after his State of the Nation address. Over 2,000 attempted to storm the US embassy chanting “Down with imperialism!” Riot police and soldiers beat protesters with truncheons and rifle butts. At least 50 people were hospitalized and at least six died. Riots continued throughout the year. They were part of the First Quarter Storm.

Today in Labor History January 29, 1834: Chesapeake and Ohio Canal workers rioted. President Jackson sent in troops to quell the unrest. It was the first time the government used troops to suppress a domestic labor dispute. Workers rebelled because of deadly working conditions and low pay. George Washington had designed the canal project. He intended it to facilitate transportation of goods from the Chesapeake Bay to the Ohio River Valley. Construction teams were made up mostly of Irish, German, Dutch and black workers. They toiled long hours for low wages in dangerous conditions. From this, and similar projects of the era, came the line: “the banks of the canals are lined with the bones of dead Irishmen.” Also from this project came the poem:

Ten thousand Micks,
They swung their picks,
To build the new canal.
But the choleray
Was stronger ‘n they
And twice it killed ‘em all.

#Layoffs at #Riot: 530 #gamedevs are losing their jobs, because "investments are not paying off" as the CEO puts it.

In other words: Workers are paying the price for reckless trend-chasing and mismanagement. This comes from a company which has made the news many times for its toxic work environment. Game devs endured it, now they get laid off and the C-suite stays on and gets millions in pay-outs.

This is the hallmark of an industry that mistreats its workers.
