Today in Labor History November 28, 1990: Margaret Thatcher resigned in tears after a mass non-payment of her hated poll tax forced her out of office. The tax was a flat tax, hugely unfair, charging all adults, regardless of their wealth or income, the same amount. At the height of the campaign, nearly half of all British adults, 17 million people, had refused to pay the tax. The Labour Party refused to back any protest of the tax. But Anti-Poll Tax Unions formed across the country, and there were thousands of demonstrations, many of which became riots after mounted police charged the protesters. Over 100 were injured and more than 330 were arrested in the protests.

Russian Partisans Molotov Dozens of Locomotives Used to Haul War Material
This is an excellent example of direct action video done right: Music matching the pace of the action, lots of focus on the flames of resistance-and NO FACES shown.

ICE Vehicle Tires Slashed at Hotel
"On the half moon tires were cut on 3 suspected ICE vehicles (including 2 vans) at a hotel where ICE is staying. Multiple other vehicles and the parking area were spray painted to tell the hotel & its guests that they can not make deals with ICE. Fuck the Hilton for hosting fascist kidnappers."

Today in Labor History October 23, 1903: The Anarchist Exclusion Act was first tested in the U.S. with the arrest of John Turner who was detained on Ellis Island until his deportation. Turner edited the “Voice of Labor,” which advocated for direct action and the General Strike. His arrest and expulsion were based on writings by anarchist Johann Most and a memorial to the Haymarket martyrs that were found when police searched his apartment.
