Today in Labor History June 7, 1971: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that clothing with the words "Fuck the Draft" was protected by the First amendment. The Court overturned the conviction of Paul Cohen for disturbing the peace, setting the precedent that vulgar writing is protected under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. This, of course, could quickly change under the current far rightwing court.

In 1968, Kiyoshi Kuromiya designed this poster and sent orders by mail. He was arrested by the FBI and charged with sending indecent material through the Post Office. Later that year, after beating the charges, Kuromiya defied the authorities by handing out 2000 of the posters at the Chicago Democratic Convention. The photo is of Detroiter Bill Greenshields was taken at random during a 1967 March on the Pentagon and used by Kuromiya.

2036 Olympischen Spiele in Berlin. Unbedingt. Dann hat die AFD vielleicht ihren Reichskanzler der die eröffnen kann. Nein das will ich nicht. Der Bundespräsident will jetzt bestimmt auch die Nachttischlampe drücken bis sie quietscht!
