#JEdgarHoover was FBI Director (basically) from 1924 till he died in 1972 at 77 years old. How is that possible?

Today in Labor History March 5 1968: The first Chicano student walkout in East Lost Angeles occurred on this date. The Walkouts, or Chicano Blowouts, occurred throughout 1968 in protest of unequal conditions in Los Angeles Unified School District high schools. Chicanos were often in classes of 40 students. Teachers often treated them with contempt. Drop-out rates were high. At Garfield High School, 58% of Chicano students dropped out each year. Thousands of students participated in the Blowouts. On March 4, 1968, J. Edgar Hoover sent out a memo to law enforcement, nationwide, warning them to be extra vigilant against “nationalist” movements in “minority” communities. Harry Gamboa Jr., one of the organizers of the first walkout, was placed on the list of 100 Most Dangerous & Violent Subversives, by the US Senate Committee on the Judiciary, along with Angela Davis & Eldridge Cleaver.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1965, #ElHajjMalikEkShabazz, #MalcolmX, was assassinated in NYC. Predictably, the wrong people were prosecuted and officials refused to admit evidence on pressure from #FBI's #JEdgarHoover. Community self defence is not aggression; don't let them fool you.

Happy New Year!

Today in Labor History November 15, 1919: The main headquarters of the New York City Wobblies (IWW) was ransacked and destroyed by agents acting under the US Attorney General Palmer. The Palmer raids were part of the first U.S. communist witch hunt, starting well before the more well-known McCarthy purges. It was also where J. Edgar Hoover cut his baby teeth. Between 1917 and 1919, the IWW membership had plummeted from 300,000 in the U.S. to around 30,000, due in large part to the mass arrests, murders and deportations of IWW members, anarchists, and other radicals during the Palmer raids.

We could soon see a resurgence of this by the state, or by MAGA vigilantes, with a Trump presidency. However, their targets could be mainstream organizations like Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, LGBTQ organizations, immigrants’ rights organizations, and even Democratic Party offices, all of whom have been vilified by the right as “communists.” Not to mention concentration camps to house immigrants pending deportation, and raids of workplaces and schools to round up immigrant workers and children. What are you doing to prepare?

Kristen Stewart – „Jean Seberg – Against All Enemies“ (2019)

Sie können mir erzählen, was Sie wollen. Ich halte Kristen Stewart für die derzeitig aufregendste Frau im (amerikanischen) Filmgeschäft. Vielleicht weil sie mir das erste Mal an der Seite von Jodie Foster aufgefallen ist – und da war sie eigentlich noch ein Kind. Ich sehe in ihr jedenfalls eine würdige Nachfolgerin eben jener meiner persönlichen Filmgöttinen. (ARD)

Today in Labor History June 15, 1950: As part of their Cold War hysteria, the Senate opened an investigation of 3,500 alleged "sex perverts" (i.e., homosexuals) in the federal government, somehow overlooking their cross-dressing darling in the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover.

Fifty-two years ago last week, America's most infamous government bureaucrat died. His legacy and many of the "dark arts" he sanctioned continue to be embraced by his successors. My latest.

@kathimmel
🥥 The fact that exemplary organizers like #FredHampton could bridge racial divides and bring people of all backgrounds together must have infuriated #JEdgarHoover -- a racist, reactionary divider and crypto fascist. 🥥

@lowqualityfacts
🥥 I believed you, Low, til I got to "fact" number 3.
Then I went back and checked them all.
#JohnWayne was in fact married to #JEdgarHoover.
Also, it is #BillyBobThornton who had a furniture phobia -- a REAL, not a fake fact.
Late, great, #Republican Presidential candidate #BobDole is the man most noted for referring to himself in the 3rd person, NOT #Oppenheimer.
Am I to scrutinize ALL your facts henceforth?
Did Fishy the cat get his 10-billion boosts?
