Making sure you're not a bot!

Today in Labor History June 9, 1944: Johanna Kirchner was beheaded by the Nazis in Berlin. She was a socialist and member of the anti-fascist resistance. After Hitler came to power, she went underground and later fled to France. However, in 1942 the collaborationist Vichy regime handed her over to the Gestapo. She was sentenced to death for "Marxist high-treason propaganda." On the day of her execution, she wrote: "Don't cry for me. I believe in a better future for you."

Also on this date in 1944, the Nazis executed 99 civilians in Tulle, Francein retaliation for an attack by the anti-fascist resistance, which had killed 40 Nazi soldiers. Others were sent to Concentration Camps. The next day, they slaughtered over 640 men, women and children in the neighboring town of Oradour-sur-Glane.

According to her lawsuit, Payne had been following the officers’ orders while “voicing her objection to the treatment of a fellow protester” to two of the officers. Then, a third officer stepped toward Payne and sprayed her directly in the face.

Payne later told OPB in a December interview that the officer had told her to “step back,” to which she replied, “I’m exactly where you told me to be.”

The officer then counted aloud, “one, two,” before spraying the orange chemical irritant.

Reinhard #Heydrich, Chef des Geheimen Staatspolizeiamts in Berlin, wies heute vor 90 Jahren die #Gestapo an, dass die als "verschärfte Vernehmung" verbrämte Anwendung körperlicher oder psychischer Gewalt bei Verhören keinesfalls aktenkundig werden dürfe:

With the exception of the Covid-19 pandemic, 2025 saw the biggest drop in foreign visitors to the US in two decades due, in part, to presidential rhetoric and policies. The full cost of this downturn goes beyond mere service industry woes.
