Today in Labor History May 11, 1968: The "Night of the Barricades" occurred in Paris, from May 10-11. It started when security forces blocked student protesters from crossing the river. As a result, they threw up barricades. The police attacked them at 2 am on May 10, savagely beating them and arresting hundreds. In response to the police violence, students and workers called for a General Strike on May 13.

Today in Labor History May 11, 1963: The Birmingham riot began when racists set off several bombs targeting the African-American leaders of the Birmingham Campaign. The Campaign was a mass protest for racial justice. In response to the bombings, African American protesters burned down businesses and fought police in downtown Birmingham. They were frustrated both by the cops’ complicity in racist attacks against them, and the ineffectiveness of nonviolent protest. Governor Wallace deployed the state militia against the protesters. Many believe this event proved pivotal in Kennedy’s decision to propose a major civil rights bill.

As Steven Vladeck notes, Trump-Miller are aiming at the courts as they float the idea of suspending habeas corpus, because of cases like the Öztürk case:

"Releasing someone like Rümeysa Öztürk from immigration detention poses no threat to public safety—all the more so when the release is predicated on a judicial determination that Öztürk … poses no threat to public safety."

William Lindsey :toad:

"Americans across the political spectrum should reject this unconstitutional power grab for what it is: a cynical attack on liberty masquerading as national defense. Before things worsen."

As Mansour says, it's clear Trump-Miller's vision of American's future is a vision of a police state in which law enforcement is militarized and used to suppress and violate citizens' rights. That's where Miller's dangerous rhetoric points.

Calling Stephen Miller "the most dangerous person in America," Mark Mansour responds to Miller's claim that immigration is an "invasion" and habeas corpus is a "privilege" that should be withheld from immigrants:

"No, immigration is not an invasion. And no, it does not justify suspending one of the oldest and most vital protections in our legal tradition."

“Tasers are life-threatening because they emit a powerful electrical charge that can affect the heart and lead to cardiac arrhythmias. Especially in people with existing heart problems, the elderly, or if used incorrectly, there is a risk that the Taser can cause serious health damage or even death.”

"Ils tentent de kidnapper les gens". Aux Etats-Unis, les agents fédéraux de l'immigration enlèvent des personnes immigrées (ou pas) en pleine rue, à la vue de tous. Des arrestations brutales, parfois sans fondement légal, qui instillent un climat de peur dans la population. Trump a prévu d'engager 25 000 agents supplémentaires. Une milice à ses ordres? motherjones.com/politics/2025/

This piece is a piece that means a lot to me as it represents a lot. It symbolizes the simple message of ” keep doing what you love”. No matter how many hardships and obstacles you encounter along the way you need to just push them aside and do what makes you happy.

This is one of the first pieces I ever made and still one of my favorites. This image works as a piece of advice for everyone we all need to work to do what we truly love. Once we have achieved that, we haven’t really worked a day in our lives! – HIJACK

This represents the constant growing conflict and separation of today’s society politically.
It serves as a metaphor that as people we should understand the fact that everyone will have a different opinion than our own and it would be beneficial for us to try to understand the opposing side and use it as a source for growth and knowledge rather than a source for criticism and judgment. – HIJACK

Sometimes progress takes us in full circle. Right back to a time when pictures made more sense. Lets not forget who started it all. – HIJACK

HIJACK: Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday signed into law a controversial abortion bill that could punish doctors who perform abortions with life in prison. Alabama will become the state with the country’s most restrictive abortion law and the law will immediately become fodder for the swirling debate over if (and when) the Supreme Court might consider overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. “When women are in control of their sexuality, it threatens a core element underpinning right-wing ideology: patriarchy,” .”It’s a brutal form of oppression to seize control of the 1 essential thing a person should command: their own body.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes

The #CHP has started using these gray Dodge SUVs as cruisers, and they are *barely* marked as CHP cars. This is very not good. If you get pulled over by what looks like an unmarked SUV, with otherwise hidden police lights, would you stop? Is it the police, or is it a carjacking?
