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.
Canada is on the path to detonating the world’s sixth largest “carbon bomb” thanks to new and planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities on the northwest coast of British Columbia, an international climate researcher is warning.
@kcarruthers we’ve known this all along, yet the prospect of jobs jobs jobs has now been overtaken by the last five years of undulating #wildfires in summer, and #atmosphericrivers in winter. The #infrastructure damage has been huge.
It’s time to #boycott and #reduce fossil fuel consumption. #GoElectric in your car, your house and water heating, your barbeque and lawnmowers. All this tech has been viable, and available … there are no technical reasons preventing change, just #political.
The #unitedstates has a long history of friendship with #israel. I believe it is possible for both Arabs and Israeli to live in harmony without fear.
It's entirely possible that US Arabs and Muslims could potentially be deported for their religion or Arab nation citizenship if they DON'T vote for #president#biden and #trump is elected again.
Because that is what Trump is saying he will do to US #muslims
"Do you condemn hummus?" is some weirdo shit mofos.
"Fliers calling for a #boycott of six #Jewish eateries have been posted in various commercial areas in #SanFrancisco, raising safety concerns for these businesses and the Jewish community.
Oren's Hummus in the South of Market neighborhood which proudly serves Israeli cuisine. But on Friday morning, when Randale Conner, the restaurant's general manager, opened up shop, he was greeted with the message "Do you condemn hummus?" spray-painted on the ground at the front entrance."
@DrALJONES#genocidejoe will always protect Israel. He's said this all along. The paranoid USA needs that Israel is there, as a fortress against those evil Iranians, Iraqis and Syrians. Israel is nothing but an annexe of Washington. A 51st state, in effect.
This won't change unless we, the people of the rest of the world, make it change.
