Today in Labor History May 4, 1970: Ohio National Guards murdered four students at Kent State University. They also injured nine others, including one who was permanently paralyzed. During the massacre, they fired 67 rounds in 13 seconds at the unarmed crowd. The students were protesting the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. With the current wave of student protests against the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the government’s response is looking sickeningly similar to its response to student protests in the early 70s: Violent repression, use of chemical agents, snipers on rooftops. If the vitriolic rhetoric of politicians and pundits continues, another student massacre seems imminent.

Köln, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Hamburg, Bauzen, Lepizig, München und mittlerweile auch in Österreich, so wie hier in Wien:

Millionen gehen auf die Straße gegen den grassierenden Rechtsextremismus, gegen Politiker*innen, die Hetzen und Spalten, anstatt zusammenführen.
