Today in Labor History May 9, 1907: Big Bill Haywood went on trial for murder in the bombing death of former Idaho governor Frank Steunenberg. Clarence Darrow defended Haywood and got him acquitted. Steunenberg had brutally suppressed the state’s miners. Haywood had been framed by a Pinkerton agent provocateur named James McParland, the same man who infiltrated the Pennsylvania miners’ union in the 1870s and got 20 innocent men executed as Molly Maguires. You can read about that in my novel, “Anywhere But Schuylkill.”

LOU GRAMM On FOREIGNER's 'I Want To Know What Love Is': 'We Were Worried' Releasing A Song Like That Would 'Damage Our Rock Reputation'
Allan remembers Ray Shero on the latest episode of #AgentProvocateur.
The general drift of the apparent #COINTELPRO against #HandsOff is that protests are ONLY useful if they directly confront police; that this behavior matters more than the number of protesters; and that anyone placing primary emphasis on getting the largest protest crowds possible is naive and insufficiently leftist. This is contradicted by research on the downfall of #dictatorships, and is straight out of the #AgentProvocateur / #COINTELPRO playbook. Be very suspicious of ANYONE giving this kind of strategic advice. For me, this is #instablock material.
Periodic reminder that this account is an #agentProvocateur, has recently added #autistic in the bio, and regularly uses inflammatory language to divide #blackpeople and #whitepeople using dubious stories.
>> law states that I must cycle 1.5m away from parked cars… Today a Karen… drove towards me and later a white driver… did the same. There are cases of pigs using their cars as weapons to murder Black People.
#MAGA will pull a #reichstagFire routine
any violent expression- real or #agentProvocateur, will be met with a huge crackdown on #civilLiberties
this is not an argument to not fight
this is a recognition of what we are up against, and some people in denial out there need to understand what's coming
#fascism only understands one thing. and it should have met that a long time ago, because by waiting and "it will all just go away" bs the threat only grows
#TOTP Kylie when she could still just about look innocent
#AgentProvocateur
Whiny voices soon on #Mastodon:
"both sides the same"
"i oddly focus on only one issue where #Democrats aren't perfect"
"nothing matters, all is #corruption"
and other #toxicIdealism #psyop
these are not organic voices
they will trumpet their #leftism bonafides like Russian #trolls on Twitter with #MAGA flags but they are #agentProvocateur divide and conquer
don't get me wrong:
yes, the Democrats suck
but if you don't see the choice?
oof
