@petergleick I lived a few miles from the Santa Susanna nuclear field laboratory. Not a word from the authorities or press about the meltdown. We continued to hike in the nearby hills for years; a close friend died of brain cancer. Corporations were thought of as community-minded partners back then.
@leopardboy Wonderful! I’ve got every Catholic League family on numerous branches.
@tombradleyjr Neolani could be the next Moana.
@toddbohannon This parallels the anti-immigrant stance taken by the Liberals in England. Will right-wing riots follow?

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History August 1, 1938: Police opened fire on 200 unarmed trade unionists protesting the unloading of a ship in Hilo Harbor, on the Big Island of Hawaii, in what became known as "the Hilo Massacre." The protest was in support of striking waterfront workers. 50 workers were injured. Police also used tear gas and bayonets. The workers came from numerous ethnic backgrounds, including Japanese, Chinese, Native Hawaiian, Luso (Portuguese) and Filipino. They belonged to several unions, including the ILWU. They were fighting for equal pay to dockers on the U.S. west coast and for a closed, union shop. Harry Kamoku (depicted in the original woodblock poster shown in this post) was the primary organizer and leader of the strike, as well as a member of Hawaii’s first union to be legally recognized. He was a Chinese-Hawaiian, a longshoreman, born in Hilo.
