[trump voice] They’re calling it prison abolition, folks, complex—prison industrial complex, they’re calling it. Very disgusting, very sad [crowd boos] I’m the first person to say, perhaps that none of us are free until all of us are free, and you’ll be hearing it more and more

On this day, 31 May 1921, one of the worst single incidents of racial violence in US history took place: the Tulsa massacre, which left 300 dead after a false allegation of a Black man attacking a white woman.The Tulsa Tribune newspaper included a front-page article noscriptd “Nab Negro for Attacking Girl in Elevator” and a back-page editorial noscriptd “To Lynch Negro Tonight.”Local whites were inflamed, and they attacked the Black community of Greenwood, at the time the most prosperous African American community in the US, commonly known as the Black Wall Street. The Black Dispatch newspaper reported:“Hundreds of Black men, women and children are scattered through the bottoms of Verdi Gras river and the Arkansas, naked, barefooted, women with children in their arms and giving birth to children, are scattered everywhere as they hurry farther from their burning homes and the holocause of bullets of the white assassins who rushed upon their defenceless homes in the we hours of this morning, spreading fire and bullets everywhere."Back in the charred, smoking ruins of what was once the finest business district that progressive Negroes had in the United States, [4] million dollars worth [over $70 million in 2024] of homes and property, arson reigns supreme, punctured here and there by the still smoking carcasses of men, women and children."Mobs were backed up by private planes that reportedly dropped incendiary devices and fired on Black residents. Hundreds were killed and the entire thirty-five-block area was razed to the ground, leaving up to ten thousand people homeless.After the massacre, city authorities implemented a fire ordinance which barred reconstruction, and forced Black residents into a new district 35 blocks away.At the time of writing (April 2024) there are still a few survivors awaiting justice and reparations.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10389/tulsa-racist-massacre To access this hyperlink, click our link in bio then click this photo

Good Idea: cuddle your partner!

“We found that more frequent affectionate touch was associated with better body satisfaction. Further, body satisfaction partially mediated the links between affectionate touch and either relationship satisfaction or sexual satisfaction. This suggests that affectionate touch improves relationship functioning in part through improving self-evaluations relevant to one’s body or physical appearance. Such an impact could subsequently impact overall mental well-being; this is a question for future research,” the study authors concluded.

🌈Happy Pride month! 🌈

On this day, 2 June 1967, left-wing student, Benno Ohnesorg, was shot and killed by police in West Berlin during a protest against the visiting US-backed Shah of Iran. Police, as well as Iranian security officials and Shah supporters, had violently attacked the demonstrators. Ohnesorg, on the protest with his pregnant wife, was violently beaten by police, then shot in the back of the head. Police then prevented a Norwegian doctor from assisting him, ensuring he could not be helped before other medics arrived, who then removed the piece of bone from the gunshot wound from his head and discarded it in what was much later described by the Spiegel newspaper as "an attempt to cover up the killing."At the time, German newspapers compared the protesters to terrorists and Nazis, and the Social Democrat Berlin Mayor stated that the "city has run out of patience" with demonstrators. The killer went unpunished.Ohnesorg's death triggered a huge upsurge in radical activism in West Germany, including the formation of the 2 June Movement urban guerrilla group.Years later it was revealed that the police officer who shot Ohnesorg was an agent of the Stasi, the East German security service. But there is no evidence that the Stasi as an organisation had any involvement in the killing itself.Learn more about West German urban guerrillas in these books: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/books/red-army-faction To access this hyperlink, click our link in bio then click this photo

On this day, 3 June 2019, the Khartoum massacre took place in the capital of Sudan when paramilitaries targeted people protesting against the military government (content note: sexual violence).A militant movement had begun the previous year demanding action be taken to stop the rapid rise of the cost of living. It evolved to demand the removal of the dictatorship of Omar al-Bashir and the restoration of democracy. In April al-Bashir was deposed in a military coup and replaced with a Transitional Military Council (TMC). But protests continued demanding a civilian-led transitional government.On June 3, security forces along with paramilitaries in the Rapid Support Forces attacked a sit-in protest in Khartoum, which was demanding the restoration of civilian government. They fired live ammunition and teargas, killing dozens and injuring hundreds, while many others were arrested and dozens raped.Estimates of those killed range from 30 up to over 100, and doctors claim that around 70 women and men were raped. Women had reportedly constituted a majority of participants in the protests, and a local activist told France 24 that there had been a campaign of sexual harassment of women activists in an attempt to "break the girls".In response to the violence, workers responded with a general strike, nearly shutting down rail and air travel, retail and banking until the TMC agreed to release all political prisoners three days later, and resume talks on civilian rule. Demonstrations continued and civilian rule began to be restored, although many women continued to protest at being sidelined in the new institutions.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10203/ramadan-massacrePictured: Protesters in Khartoum before the massacre, April 2019, by Ala Kheir* If you find our social media posts interesting, you should have a listen our podcasts.
