Today in Labor History April 2, 1863: Bread riots occurred in Richmond, Virginia, as a result of a drought the previous year, combined with a blockade by the Union Army and overall Civil War-related shortages. Food riots occurred throughout the South around this time, led primarily by women. During the Richmond riot, women broke into storehouses and shops, stealing food, clothing and jewelry before the militia was able to restore order.

From @atrupar - here's the shitstain saying Cuba is "next" after Iran.

By the way, Venezuela has been strongarmed into a big gold contract. In theory it's a "sale." I'm waiting to see how much of it ends up in the Shitstain's overseas accounts.

Today in Labor History February 11, 1918: Tens of thousands of unemployed Danish syndicalists stormed the Stock Exchange in Copenhagen. Only the leaders knew where the demonstration march was heading. To trick the police, they leaked that their target was the Pork Hall, which they were going to loot. Participants, armed with clubs, attacked the stockbrokers. Later, they attacked police with rubble from a construction site. Media sources compared the storm with the ravages of the Red Army and looting in the Finnish Civil War,

One of the many, many evils the Nazi regime did was loot upon invading countries. You've heard about stolen art, perhaps, or gold, but it was up and down the scale. Individual soldiers looted too, often, sending "gifts" back home. It was one of the ways they propped up the fascist economy - well, that along with slave labour.

Is that what you want, America?

Because that's what he wants.

Is that _not_ what you want?

Stop using oil.

Start protesting. Here are some still going _tonight_, ad hoc with little warning, but there. I'm heading out to Lynnwood now. Join me.
