THE KENT STATE MASSACRE
It is May 4, 1970 - minutes after the Ohio National Guard opened fire on a peaceful antiwar protest at Kent State University. A horrified Mary Ann Vecchio crouches over the body of Jeffrey Miller.
That’s me on the right with a white arm band. I am watching a freaked-out fellow art student jumping in the blood of Jeffrey Miller.
Four were killed and nine wounded, protesting against the invasion of Cambodia. Days later came massacres at Augusta GA and Jackson State MS.
The shootings at Kent were choreographed at the highest levels of government. Inflammatory comments by President Nixon and Governor Rhodes of Ohio provided a framework for the shootings. Actions reeking of the work of agent provocateurs preceded the murders. In the May 4 protest was an armed FBI agent - photographed holding a gun.
For 55 years, there has been a diligent cover up of the events by politicians of both capitalist parties. KSU has attempted to airbrush the mass anti-war movement of thousands of students out of existence.
Official May 4 commemorations were placed in the hands of Stephanie Danes Smith, a former top official of the CIA - testimony to the moral bankruptcy of the KSU admin. Former “radicals” of SDS, having carved out careers as “experts” and “survivors,” have embraced Smith - a sad testimony to failed ultra-left/liberal politics.
Now, Trump officials are again making inflammatory statements and threatening students with the National Guard. Like Nixon, they believe that deporting, jailing or killing some students will put an end to the anti-war protests. They are doomed to failure.
Those of us who went through the experience of building the Vietnam antiwar movement learned this: when millions of people join in direct action in the streets, we have enormous power.
The most important way to prevent state violence is to build a mass, independent defense of civil liberties.
Together with the Vietnamese people, we defeated the war makers in Southeast Asia.
We can and must do it again.
Stop the assaults on democratic rights!
End the genocide in Gaza!
War machine off campus!

You should probably drop this in the suggestion box in Red Square if you want Trump to actually take action on it.

loc.gov/pictures/item/20176609

The image displays a detailed colored postcard showing the iconic St. Basil's Cathedral, located in Red Square in Moscow, Russia. The cathedral is characterized by its vivid green onion-shaped domes with golden tips and intricate architectural details. Surrounding the main structure are smaller buildings that complement its grandeur, including what appears to be an archway entrance on one side.

In front of St. Basil's Cathedral, a small circular pond or fountain can be seen at the forefront, adding to the overall urban scene depicted in the postcard. The street leading up to and surrounding Red Square is populated with pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages indicative of the late 19th-century setting.

The color palette consists primarily of greens from the domes, warm reds on some buildings' facades, earth tones for other structures and pathways, and a muted sky tone in the background. The postcard's vintage quality is suggested by its artistic rendering style rather than photographic realism, capturing an early 20th-century view of Moscow's most famous landmark.

In terms of additional information about this image, it may be linked to "Orthodox churches" as St. Basil's Cathedral serves a religious function in the Orthodox tradition and was built between 1555-61 during Ivan the Terrible’s reign. The photograph could also relate to Russia (Federation) Moscow specifically due to its central location within the city, being [...]

loc.gov/pictures/item/90713170

The image depicts a historic view of Moscow's Red Square. At the center, we see Saint Basil Cathedral with its iconic onion-shaped domes in vibrant colors such as green, red, and gold against an overcast sky. The architecture surrounding it reflects classical Russian styles.

In the foreground, there are two people walking towards each other on what appears to be a dusty road or square; they're dressed in early 20th-century attire suggesting this photo is from around that time period. Several horse-drawn carriages and horses can also be seen scattered across the scene, which implies it's not just pedestrians but vehicles moving about as well.

The buildings on either side have multiple stories with detailed facades typical of late imperial Russian design. In terms of coloration, this photograph is monochromatic, possibly indicating that colored photography had yet to become widespread or was still in its nascent stages during the era depicted here.

loc.gov/pictures/item/20176603

This image depicts a historical view of the iconic Saint Basil's Cathedral, or Vasilyevsky Cathedral, located in Moscow. The photograph captures several characteristic elements of Russian architecture and is rendered with colorization techniques that add to its vintage appeal.

In this print from around 1890-1906 by Loener & Co., a company known for their production of photographic images on paper using the photochrom technique, we see a series of onion-shaped domes painted in shades of green and gold. The central tower with golden domes stands prominently against an overcast sky.

The surrounding buildings include various structures such as churches or monasteries adorned with similar architectural details: arched windows, brick facades, and cross-topped spires. In the foreground is a cobblestone street leading to what appears to be Red Square, flanked by large cannons on display. These cannons are likely historical artifacts representing Russia's military heritage.

A few figures can be seen in the distance walking along the pathway or standing near one of the buildings, providing scale and indicating that this image was taken during a time when such public spaces were accessible for civilians to visit and appreciate.

Overall, the photo offers insight into Moscow’s cultural landscape at an earlier period, showcasing religious architecture with its distinctive onion-shaped domes as well as elements representative of Ru [...]

loc.gov/pictures/item/20176603

This image depicts a historical view of the central square in Moscow, specifically Red Square. The notable landmark shown is the GUM (Grand Hotel Europe), which was originally built as an elaborate shopping center and later became a significant cultural icon during Soviet times.

The photograph captures a bustling scene with people going about their daily activities on what appears to be a busy day for commerce or social gatherings in this urban space. The architecture of the buildings around Red Square is distinctly Russian, featuring ornate facades, arched windows, and decorative elements characteristic of late 19th-century design.

In front of GUM stands an impressive statue, which serves as another focal point within the square's plaza area. A street lamp with a classic European style also adds to the historical ambiance of this iconic Moscow setting.

The coloration in the image suggests that it is likely from around the late 19th century or early 20th century, during a time when Russia was undergoing significant transformations under Tsarist and Soviet rule. The presence of horse-drawn carriages indicates pre-automobile transportation methods common at this period.

Overall, this photograph offers an insightful glimpse into Moscow's past as it showcases both its architectural grandeur and the everyday life of the people in one of the city's most recognizable public spaces.

#Moscou #LesNowoRjädy #RedSquare #Moscow #European #Russia #photography #historicalPhotos

loc.gov/pictures/item/20176603

The image depicts a historic European square surrounded by grandiose buildings with architectural details indicative of late 19th or early 20th-century design. The architecture includes ornate facades, arched doorways, and spire-shaped towers, suggesting the location might be in Russia based on its style reminiscent of Moscow's Red Square.

The street is bustling with activity; people are seen walking along a path that cuts through the center of the square, some carrying umbrellas or bags. The pavement appears to be cobblestone, typical for older European cities. In the background, horse-drawn carriages can be discerned, adding to the historical ambiance.

The sky is overcast with soft lighting conditions suggesting either early morning or late afternoon. There are a few indistinct figures in traditional attire that might indicate local residents going about their daily routines within this public square area. The overall scene captures a moment of everyday life in an urban setting from a bygone era, likely between the years 1890 and 1906 based on historical context clues.

A member of the Russian Parliament, Andrey Svintsov, has suggested they “publicly [give] twenty lashes with a whip in Red Square” to artists speaking out against Russia. International Human Rights Law prohibits such corporal punishment, like flogging, but doesn’t speak to how badly Andrey needs to get his kink on.

✒ The annual #RedSquare #military parade felt different this time round

And not just because of the spring snowstorm

There were 9,000 people marching across the square. Sounds a lot. But in previous years – before #russia’s invasion of #Ukraine – the numbers were often higher

There was less military hardware on display, too. The only tank was a lone T-34 ⤵

Waste money and time. They've proven over and over they can't govern. They get their instructions direct from #RedSquare, home of their new hero, Vladimir Putin.
