MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 13, 1848: The German revolutions of 1848-1849 began in Vienna. While the middle classes were fighting for a unified German state and increased civil liberties, the working class had more revolutionary aspirations. Participants in the revolution included communist and anarchist revolutionaries like Marx, Engels and Bakunin, as well as the composer Wagner. The aristocracy exploited the split between the classes, facilitating their eventual violent defeat, with great loss of life and mass imprisonment. Many fled to the U.S. and became known as “forty-eighters.” They moved to places like Cincinnati’s Ober der Rhine neighborhood, or Saint Louis. After risking their lives fighting against serfdom in Europe, many were so horrified by the persistence of slavery in their new country that they dedicated themselves to the cause of abolition and free thinking, joining organizations like the Freimӓnverein (Society of Freemen) and the Wide Awakes (a radical militia that defended free blacks and fought Confederates in the streets). Some of them also became publishers, like Henry Boernstein, who had previously published “Vorwärts!” in Paris with Karl Marx, Engels, Heinrich Heine and others.</p><p>You can read more on The Wide Awakes and the Antebellum Roots of Wokeness here: <a href="https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2024/04/27/the-wide-awakes-and-the-antebellum-roots-of-wokeness/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">michaeldunnauthor.com/2024/04/</span><span class="invisible">27/the-wide-awakes-and-the-antebellum-roots-of-wokeness/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/germany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>germany</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/abolition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abolition</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilWar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>slavery</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/marx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marx</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bakunin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bakunin</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/saintlouis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>saintlouis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cincinnati" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cincinnati</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vienna" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vienna</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civilliberties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilliberties</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>A proposed new law in Texas, by Republican Tom Oliverson, would make it illegal in that state to identify as trans, which he's calling "Gender Identity Fraud." The law would punish people who identify as trans with up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine. </p><p>Probably not long before Trump tries to do the same on a federal level. Whoops, he kinda already did with passports.<br>And with his illegal transferring of trans women prisoners into male prisons, in violation of several court orders. There are already reports of sexual assaults against these women.</p><p>Remember, first they came for the trans folks, and undocumented immigrants, and people didn't speak up because they weren't one of them.</p><p>Then they came for documented immigrants and those with legal residency because they spoke out against the Genocide in Gaza; as well as cis women of color, because they didn't conform to white, bourgeois ideals of femininity.</p><p>No one is free unless we ALL are free.</p><p><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-gb/crime/general/new-texas-bill-that-would-make-being-trans-a-felony-sparks-fury-there-s-no-fraud-in-being-trans/ar-AA1At24d" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">msn.com/en-gb/crime/general/ne</span><span class="invisible">w-texas-bill-that-would-make-being-trans-a-felony-sparks-fury-there-s-no-fraud-in-being-trans/ar-AA1At24d</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transrightsarehumanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transrightsarehumanrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransRightsMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsMatter</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solidarity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigrants</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sexism</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>This is Mahmoud Khalil. He graduated from a leadership program at Columbia University in December, and is still in university housing. He's married, and his wife is eight months pregnant. Mahmoud is passionate about education, and has had a variety of jobs involving education and disadvantaged youth. He's particularly interested in creating programs that help educate out-of-school youth in developing countries. </p><p>Mahmoud has a green card. He is a lawful, permanent resident of the United States. Remember that, it's going to be important in what's about to happen. <br>Last night (Saturday) as Mahmoud and his wife walked into their university-owned apartment building, two men in plain clothes slipped in the door behind them. </p><p>The men claimed they were ICE agents. They also claimed that they had a warrant for Mahmoud's arrest on their phone, and that his student visa was being revoked.<br>Reminder: Mahmoud has a green card. He's no longer on a student visa. <br>Mahmoud told them he had a green card, and his wife went up to their apartment to get it. When she returned, the agents, confused, made a phone call where the agents were told "we're revoking that too."<br>The agents refused to give Mahmoud's wife a reason why he was being detained. When Mahmoud's lawyer called, ICE refused to say why Mahmoud was being detained and that his "student visa was revoked." When the lawyer (again) pointed out that he had a green card, ICE representatives said that also would be revoked. </p><p>You may be wondering, "Hey, isn't it illegal for ICE to come onto private property -- the university -- without showing a warrant to the university for the arrest? Wouldn't the warrant necessarily say something about why he was being arrested?" </p><p>Great question. Columbia University has publicly said that ICE requires a warrant to enter non-public areas of campus (like housing), but also as of the moment has refused to answer whether ICE contacted them before slipping into the apartment building behind Mahmoud and his wife. <br>Meanwhile: Mahmoud has been sent to a for-profit prison in New Jersey with no official charges. </p><p>Nevertheless, we know why Mahmoud was arrested. </p><p>Mahmoud has been involved in peaceful protests at the university, asking that the school stop investing in weapons manufacturing and, in particular, that the school stop investing in companies that are helping to fund the killing of people in Gaza. </p><p>So, just to make this very clear and simple: A lawful, permanent resident of the United States has been arrested for exercising his freedom of speech. <br>The US government doesn't like some of his OPINIONS and so they have arrested him and are making plans to deport him. <br>Maybe you don't like Mahmoud's opinions. Maybe you don't agree with him. Fine. But the point is: the US government is arresting LEGAL IMMIGRANTS -- PEOPLE WITH GREEN CARDS -- for *exercising their freedom of speech*.</p><p>This is not the behavior of a nation that is the "land of the free and the home of the brave." It's an act of profound cowardice and an arbitrary and cruel exercise of power.</p><p>ETA: Mahmoud's wife, an American citizen, attempted to see him at the New Jersey facility today and has been told that he's not there. His lawyer says he may be as far away as Louisiana, but the point is this: he's now not only been "detained" without charges, but neither his wife nor his lawyer know where the US government is holding him.</p><p>Here is the petition:<br><a href="https://actionnetwork.org/letters/demand-the-immediate-release-of-columbia-student-pro-palestine-advocate-mahmoud-khalil-from-dhs-detention?source=direct_link" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">actionnetwork.org/letters/dema</span><span class="invisible">nd-the-immediate-release-of-columbia-student-pro-palestine-advocate-mahmoud-khalil-from-dhs-detention?source=direct_link</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mahmoudkhalil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mahmoudkhalil</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freepalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freepalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ice</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/columbia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>columbia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freespeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freespeech</span></a></p>
