"An Israeli airstrike has killed Dr. Marwan Al-Sultan, director of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza. His wife and five family members were also killed in the strike on their home west of Gaza City"
"The Indonesian Hospital had already gone out of service in May after Israeli forces bombed it. The attack destroyed its power generators and damaged several departments"

Jennifer Brooks: "Outside, the line to say goodbye stretched down the sweeping lawn and onto nearby streets, wrapping its way around the domed building. Hour after hour, mourners filed into the rotunda where Hortman, the speaker emerita of the House, lay in state alongside her husband Mark Hortman and their golden retriever. Visitors stared numbly at the flowers, the smiling photos, the honor guard of service dogs standing vigil with wagging tails."

Mourners waited in long lines to pay respect to Melissa and Mark Hortman, and their dog Gilbert, as they lay in state at the Capitol

Today in Labor History June 27, 1905: The Industrial Workers of the World (AKA IWW or the Wobblies) was founded at Brand's Hall, in Chicago, Illinois. The IWW was a radical syndicalist labor union, that advocated industrial unionism, with all workers in a particular industry organized in the same union, as opposed by the trade unions typical today. Founding members included Big Bill Haywood, James Connolly, Eugene V. Debs, Lucy Parsons, and Mother Jones. The IWW was and is a revolutionary union that sought not only better working conditions in the here and now, but the complete abolition of capitalism. The preamble to their constitution states: The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. It also states: Instead of the conservative motto, "A fair day's wage for a fair day's work," we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, "Abolition of the wage system."
They advocate the General Strike and sabotage as two of many means to these ends. However, sabotage to the Wobblies does not necessarily mean bombs and destruction. According to Big Bill Haywood, sabotage is any action that gums up the works, slowing down profits for the bosses. Thus, working to rule and sit-down strikes are forms of sabotage. The IWW is the first union known to have utilized the sit-down strike. They were one of the first and only unions of the early 20th century to organize all workers, regardless of ethnicity, gender, nationality, language or type of work (e.g., they organized both skilled and unskilled workers). They also were subjected to extreme persecution by the state and by vigilantes working for the corporations. Hundreds were imprisoned or deported. Dozens were assassinated or executed, including Joe Hill, Frank Little, Wessley Everest and Carlo Tresca. And scores were slaughtered in massacres, like in McKees Rock railway strike, PA (1909); Lawrence Textile Strike, MA (1912); San Diego Free Speech Fight, CA (1912); Grabow, LA Lumber Strike (1912); New Orleans, LA banana strike (1913); Patterson, NJ textile strike (1913); Mesabi Range Strike, MN (1916); Everett, WA massacre (1916); Centralia, WA Armistice Day riot (1919) and the Columbine, CO massacre (1921). There was also the Hopland, CA riot (1913), in which the police killed each other, accidentally, and framed Wobblies for it.

There are lots of great books about the IWW artwork and music. The Little Red Songbook. The IWW, Its First 50 Years, by Fred Thompson. Rebel Voices: An IWW Anthology, by Joyce Kornbluth. But there are also tons of fictional accounts of the Wobblies, too. Lots of references in Dos Passos’, USA Trilogy. Red Harvest, by Dashiell Hammett, was influenced by his experience working as a Pinkerton infiltrator of the Wobblies. The recent novel, The Cold Millions, by Jess Walter, has a wonderful portrayal of Elizabeth Gurly Flynn, during the Spokane free speech fight. And tons of classic folk and protest music composed by Wobbly Bards, like Joe Hill, Ralph Chaplin, Haywire Mac and T-Bone Slim.

There was a political #assassination in #Minnesota & #arrests across the country of govt officials protesting #Trump’s #immigration agenda, along w/political #polarization so acute that it is affecting people’s views on a broad array of topics.

Whether you are feeling upbeat about the #stock #market may depend, in part, on your political alignment. Gallup reported in April that 58% of #Republicans expected the stock market to rise, compared with only 21% of independents & 12% of #Democrats.

Ich schaue mir ja gerade Filme mit Charles Bronson an. Da gibt es eine Menge und sehr viele davon sind gut bis sehr gut.

Mit #assassination habe ich nun erstmals einen sehr mittelprächtigen Bronson-Film gesehen. Produziert von #cannon, die ja eine irre Film-Geschichte vorweisen können ...
