Today in Labor History December 13, 1867: Fenians (Irish Republican Brotherhood) set off a bomb in London to free one of their members from Clerkenwell Prison. 12 people died. The bombing outraged the public, undermining Fenian efforts to establish independence or home rule. The Fenians had over 100,000 members at the time, including a large support network in the U.S.

Two quick ones on resistance:
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1636, Massachusetts Colony formed three regiments to defend their #SettlerColony from the #Pequot (they later wiped the tribe out), and in 1867 a #Fenian militant set off a bomb in London in support of Irish independence.
