On #ThisDayInHistory in 1927, #FredTrump, father of Donald, was arrested at a #KKK rally. The 1920s #Klan was a huge movement, reaching six million members in a population of 119 million. The elder Trump was later sued after passage of #CivilRights laws for racial discrimination.

Today in Labor History May 31, 1921: The Tulsa Race Riot. From May 31 through June 1, deputized whites (i.e., racist vigilantes) killed more than 300 African Americans in the worst race riot in U.S. history. The violence began in response to a false report in the Tulsa Tribune accusing a black man of attacking a white girl in an elevator. The headline made the front page. However, there was an accompanying editorial that called for a lynching. White Tulsans went to the African American community of Greenwood (the Black Wall Street) and started shooting black people. They looted and burned 40 square blocks, destroying over 1,400 African American homes, hospitals, schools, and churches. Ten thousand became homeless and had to spend the winter of 1921 living in tents.
Many African American residents fought back, including veterans of World War One. This attempt at self-preservation prompted the deputized whites and National Guardsmen to arrest 6,000 black residents. Furthermore, they bombarded the community from the air in what was likely the first aerial bombardment of mainland U.S. residents. At least a dozen planes, some carrying police, circled the community and dropped burning balls of turpentine. They also shot at residents from the air. Many of the whites were members of the Klan, such as W. Tate Brady, who had also participated in the tarring and feathering of members of the Industrial Workers of the World in 1917.
Just a few months later, the government again bombarded civilians from the air, during the Battle of Blair Mountain, when 15,000 coal miners battled 3,000 cops, private cops and vigilantes, in the largest insurrection since the Civil War. Up to 100 miners died in the fighting, along with 10-30 Baldwin-Felts detectives and three national guards.

5 years since the police murder of #GeorgeFloyd rocked the world. The billionaires and their politicians were shaken by the popular uprising that followed, and now they are trying to exact revenge. But the struggle continues. We won't give up. #BlackLivesMatter #anarchist #anarchopunk #antifascist #anticapitalism #anticapitalist #anarchocomunism #antifascista #antifascism #fuckjeffbezos #boycottusa #fuckfascism #FuckSwasticars #FuckElonMusk #FuckTrump #Fucknnazism #Klan #NarcoRubio

Dear FBI, thanks for helping me find some great new tunes. Here is the song they are being questioned about, “Throw the Brick”
The most extreme lyric is “Trump, Bannon, Pence and Ryan / A bullet for each. At least we have to try it.”

Majority-Black Town in Ohio Launches Armed Watch after Neo-#Nazi, #Klan Provocations

February 28, 2025
"On February 7, about a dozen masked men, some of them carrying AR-15 semi-automatic rifles, drove a U-Haul truck to a freeway overpass at Lincoln Heights’ edge. The men, dressed in black, shouted racist slurs and waived black flags with red swastikas on them. Enraged Lincoln Heights residents soon approached to counter protest. Local police who converged on the scene from the nearby town of #Evandale, across the highway, appeared cordial toward some of the white supremacists. As the crowd of Lincoln Heights residents swelled, the ultra rightists got back on their truck and drove off. Counter protesters burned the Nazi flags left behind."

Today in Labor History January 30, 1956: Klansmen bombed the home of Martin Luther King Jr in retaliation for the Montgomery bus boycott. No one died in the bombing. However, the explosion destroyed the King’s porch and blasted out their windows. At the time of the bombing, King was giving a speech at the Montgomery Improvement Association at Rev. Ralph Abernathy’s First Baptist Church. No one was ever indicted or convicted for the bombing. The authorities did indict King, and 80 other activists, for “interfering with business,” during the bus boycott and demonstrations.

Today in Labor History January 18, 1958: The Battle of Hayes Pond, the Battle of Maxton Field, or the Maxton Riot was an armed confrontation between members of a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) organization and Lumbee Indians at a Klan rally near Maxton, North Carolina. The KKK drove through town with a loudspeaker advertising the event and recruiting participants, infuriating the local indigenous community, which took up arms to disrupt the rally. They fired into the crowd, forcing the Klansmen to flee. The police arrested several Klansmen and charged them with inciting a riot, while some media sources praised the Lumbees and condemned the Klansmen.
