Today in Labor History May 3. 1933: James Brown was born on this day. He was the Godfather of Soul. Mr. Dynamite. The funkiest man alive. His career began in the R&B and doo wop era of the 1950s, with the Famous Flames. In the mid- to late-60s, he was influential in the creation of soul and funk. He continued to produce some of the funkiest songs ever in the 1970s. Some of his songs were social commentaries, like “I’m Black and I’m Proud.” And he performed in civil rights benefit concerts as early as the mid-60s. However, he was politically conservative. He supported Humphrey, in ’68. And later, he supported Republican causes, including the Nixon presidency. In 1972, his concert was picketed by people with signs saying, “James Brown: Nixon’s Clown.” He also supported Reagan.

With 16 lawsuits pending against #DJT administration #California is likely on track for far more over the current #Presdential term. “We’ve brought a lawsuit more than once a week in the first hundred days, and during Trump 1.0 there were about 120 lawsuits over four years." says state AB Rob Bonta.
“We’ve had plenty of instances of California needing to play defense, going back to the #Reagan administration,” said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC #Berkeley School of #Law. “I think what’s different from the first term is qualitatively, how much of a disregard they have for the #Constitution and the law.”
Lol, horror movies keep saying "an ancient evil has *just* been released, gasp!" That ancient evil was released at least as far back as when "Saint" Ronnie got elected.
@VeroniqueB99 One of the worst presidents ever #RonaldReagan #Reagan
The #maga resentment toward #federalworkers is misguided. #Reagan #Trump...

Today in labor history April 29, 1895: The U.S. sent warships to Nicaragua to "protect" US interests. This was the first of many military interventions in that country. President Taft ordered the overthrow of President Zelaya in 1909. The U.S. later invaded in 1910 and occupied the country in 1912. However, the original Sandinistas defeated that occupation in 1933. But Sandino’s victory was short-lived because Anastasio Somoza assassinated him in 1934. Somoza brutally ruled Nicaragua for the next forty years, until the new Sandinistas overthrew him in 1979. And then, again, the U.S. intervened. This time, by funding the right-wing Contras. Later, when Congress blocked aid to the Contras, Reagan secretly funded them with illegal arms shipments to Iran.

Heather Cox Richardson Uniqueness of United States 4/26/25
#Trump won the presidency by assuring his base that he was a strong leader who could impose his will on the country and the world. Now he is bleating weakly at #Putin.
Trump was the logical outcome of the myth of #cowboy individualism embraced by the #Republicans since President Ronald #Reagan rose to the White House by celebrating it. In that myth, a true American is a man who operates on his own, outside the community. He needs nothing from the government, works hard to support himself, protects his wife and children, and asserts his will by dominating others. Government is his enemy, according to the myth, because it takes his money to help undeserving freeloaders and because it regulates how he can run his business. A society dominated by a cowboy individual is a strong one.
Leaders who pushed this ideology knew it attracted voters. " ...

George #Rawick’s warning in 1964 about the threat of rising #authoritarianism seems prescient in that it presaged our current fascist era that began with #Reagan and continues through #Trump.
“But one thing remains certain — that if the Negro struggle is defeated — it will be defeated in the midst of a general reactionary development in the #UnitedStates. To stop this the Negro struggle must become even more radical in its demands, its form of organization, and its actions. For unless the Negro working class, the one active progressive force at present in American society, goes forward, all of American Society will continue to slide towards barbarism, towards an increasingly authoritarian solution to the crisis of #capitalism. Those purported left-liberal friends of the Negro … who counsel the Negro movement to develop ‘a careful strategy’ … offer advice which if adopted will prove disastrous to both black and white working class people.”

De politieke sfeer van nu doet mij echt denken aan toen. Het politieke coming of age van de eerste GenXers was niet langer in de flower power mindset van de laatste babyboomers.
Het was echter ook een tijd van massaprotesten, o.a. tegen de kruisrakertten, tegen werkloosheid en tegen racisme. Ik heb nog ergens in een la een button liggen met de kop van Reagan in een verbodsbord.

Right wing politicians need to be eliminated every election if fascism is to be defeated. The Ramones wrote
"Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" to commodate Reagan saluting SS nazis.

Di you think that erosion of purchase power in the US was Biden’s fault? It started with Reagan, and Trump is following. Things will get MUCH worse. #republicans #trump #tradewar #reagan #inflation #purchasepower #prices #crysis #trade #tarifs
Konservativer US-Richter warnt mit eindringlichen Worten vor Trumps Abschiebepolitik.
Die Erklärung liest sich wie ein Weckruf: Der US-Richter J. Harvie #Wilkinson, einst ernannt von Ronald #Reagan, hat mit scharfen Worten gegen die #Trump Regierung für Aufsehen gesorgt. Deren Abschiebepraxis nennt er »schockierend«. https://www.spiegel.de/ausland/usa-konservativer-richter-warnt-eindringlich-vor-trumps-abschiebepolitik-a-09457bf2-9498-41a7-8a58-41b0842359b8
