Dems and Libs love Newsom for fighting back. Question is, will he fight back for real when Trump's gestapo refuse to obey his ban on masked law enforcement, as threatened by the Trump admin? Will he have masked ICE agents arrested? Deported? Shootouts between ICE aand California highway patrol or city police?

In 1877, twenty Irish coal miners hanged for a terrorist conspiracy that never occurred. Anywhere But Schuylkill is the story of one who escaped, Mike Doyle, a teenager trying to keep his family alive during the worst depression the nation has ever faced. Banks and railroads are going under. Children are dying of hunger. The Reading Railroad has slashed wages and hired Pinkerton spies to infiltrate the miners’ union. And there is a sectarian war between rival gangs. But none of this compares with the threat at home.

Here's How Much The Trump Family Is Worth

President Trump just had the most lucrative year of his life. But percentage-wise, his three sons—Don Jr., Eric and Barron—did even better.

Don't forget, today is the Rupture, when the Earth opens up and sucks up all the good Christian Nationalists who dutifully promote hatred, intolerance and violence against anyone who isn't white, cis, het and Christian.

Today in Labor History September 23, 1893: Libertad Rodenas was born. She was a feminist, union activist and fighter in the war against fascism in Spain (aka Spanish Civil war). As a young woman, she joined the anarcho-syndicalist CNT union and got involved in workers armed defense groups. She was repeatedly arrested and imprisoned for her activism. When the Civil War broke out, she fought with the anarchist Durruti Column, and later, when women were banned from the militias, she joined the anarchist Mujeres Libres. She survived the war and lived in exile in Mexico until her death in 1970. #workingclass #LaborHistory #spain #anarchism #cnt #union #durruti #libertadrodenas #feminism

Today in Labor History September 23, 1913: The United Mine Workers of America began the first of a series of strikes which would escalate into the Colorado Coalfield War. Miners were fighting the Rockefeller-owned Colorado Fuel and Iron (CF&I) for safer working conditions and better pay. From 1884 and 1912, Colorado miners averaged 6.81 deaths per every 1,000 miners, a fatality rate over double the national average of 3.12. However, two mine explosions in 1910 brought the state mining mortality rate to above 10, triple the national average. Due to jury tampering by the company, Rockefeller was never held accountable and never had to pay out any settlements. CF&I virtually owned the political apparatus of Colorado. The company registered every one of its employees to vote, even non-citizen immigrants and company mules, in a tactic that would make today’s Republicans blush. The Colorado Coalfied War lasted over the next two years and resulted in up to 200 deaths, including over 37 soldiers and private cops working for Rockefeller. The war included the Ludlow Massacre, when National Guards massacred at least 19 people living in a tent colony, including 12 children and three women. In retaliation for this unprovoked massacre, armed miners attacked mines, killing scabs, destroying property, and fighting National Guard troops. It was possibly the bloodiest labor dispute in U.S. history. Rockefeller used both Pinkertons and Baldwin-Felts private detectives to protect scabs and intimidate striking miners. They would attack mining camps with machine guns mounted on a car dubbed the “Death Special.” The authorities repeatedly jailed Mother Jones, who had come to support the strike. During one arrest, miners tried to free her but were repelled by National Guards. On the first day of the strike, she said during a speech: "Rise up and strike! If you are too cowardly, there are enough women in this country to come in here and beat the hell out of you." Read my article on the Ludlow massacre here:

Today in Labor History September 23, 145: Vietnamese workers rose up against French and British troops to create the Saigon commune. Fed up with racism and violent harassment by the French colonialists, they shot and killed police, officials, and at least 100 French colonialists living there. They built barricades with overturned cars and trees, chopped down from the outskirts of town. The official resistance, the Vietminh, stayed out of the direct conflict, limiting their support to providing food and supplies to the insurgents, to show the British they supported “law and order,” in hopes of winning recognition as the true leadership of Vietnam. #workingclass #LaborHistory #vietnam #rebellion #uprising #colonialism
