Today in Labor History January 24, 1977: Right-wing extremists assassinated five labor activists in Madrid during the Atocha massacre. It was part of the far-right reaction to Spain's transition to democracy after the death of fascist dictator Francisco Franco. While the reactionaries hoped to provoke a violent left-wing response that would legitimize a right-wing counter coup d'état, the massacre actually increased popular revulsion of the far-right and accelerating the legalization of the long-banned Communist Party. In Madrid up to 100,000 people joined the funeral procession on January 26 for three of the victims of the Atocha massacre.

Remember, the original poem by pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) began with the lines: first they came for the socialists, but I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist. Then they came for the union members…. Of course, in today’s scenario, they’re already coming for the immigrants, and the trans and nonbinary people. But unions and labor activists are most definitely in their crosshairs, too. This was one of the primary goals of Project 2025.

Medina faced felony and misdemeanor charges, according to the justice department. Notably, footage from the event captured Medina appearing to smash a wooden “Speaker of the House” sign belonging to U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi at the U.S. Capitol.
He is one of the few charged Northwest residents who has not been fully prosecuted four years later. Other Oregon men, including at least two others who stood beside Medina at the Oregon Capitol attack, have already been convicted for Jan. 6. An Oregon lawmaker who opened the door to the Capitol in Salem also faced sanctions.

it isn’t stated outright here, but at least one of the guys who stood beside David Medina on January 6th was a Nazi wearing a “Camp Auschwitz” shirt.

And with Trump releasing every one of the January 6 prisoners, the Proud Boys, and the Oath Keepers, both decimated to near extinction by the imprisonment of their leaders, will likely rebuild, rearm, and gladly act as Trump’s shock troops against activists and even striking workers.

Anyone else have the same thought/wish I do that Jack Smith would issue a indictment on #JanuarySix.

Seems like to me that's #Karmabeggingforsatisifacation.

Doesn't happen?

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no…
