Today in Labor History September 15, 1963: Four members of the local KKK planted 19 sticks of dynamite in the Sixteenth Street Baptist church in Birmingham, Alabama. As a result, 4 young African-American girls died: Denise McNair, 11, and Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley and Addie Mae Collins, all 14. The outrage helped mobilize support for the civil rights movement. By 1965, the FBI knew who the perpetrators were. However, no prosecutions occurred until 1977. Others weren’t convicted until 2001-2002.

And once again, here's me posting a song about it. It's by Richard Fariña, but this version by his famous sister-in-law is by far the best known.
If you vote for Trump, you’re a racist and a White Supremacist—no matter what you think you are or what color you are.

>> If you vote for #Trump, you’re a racist and a #WhiteSupremacist—no matter what you think you are or what color you are.
#Racism is just one facet of that prism that scatters #white light into so many colors.
A Trump voter is not just racist but is also a greedy wealth-hoarder and tax-dodger/cheater.
Also, low-IQ and poorly educated.
Also, #sociopath who has no problem with children getting gunned down.
Also, traitor who gives succor to hostile foreign nations.
…
This is why “good white folx” attempts to distance themselves from white supremacy AND anti-Blackness fail
EVERY SYSTEM, INSTITUTION, and POLICY is DESIGNED to ensure that you BENEFIT from white supremacy regardless of your active PARTICIPATING in white supremacy
Oh, so that's why The Mango Mussolini lashed out today a the NYT.
Eff Trump.
And Roberts needs to go and/or SCOTUS expanded.
iOS 18 beta users can add cards to Apple Wallet with a tap.
“Tap to Provision,” a coming-soon iOS 18 feature that uses NFC to speed up adding cards to your Apple Wallet, has returned after briefly being disabled, writes X user Aaron Perris.
It seems to work for me, so if, like 9to5Mac’s Abner Li, you had trouble with the feature in the iOS 18 beta, perhaps it’s worth another shot now.

Today in Labor History September 15, 1931: Sailors at Invergordon, Scotland, mutinied, causing a panic on the London Stock Exchange and ultimately forcing England off the gold standard. The sailors mutinied primarily over a 25% cut for the rank and file. They sang “The Red Flag” and refused orders. Military control was restored without bloodshed, with the pay-cut reduced to 10%. One of the mutiny leaders later defected to the USSR, where he was imprisoned in the gulags as a British spy. Another mutiny leader later commanded the British Battalion of the antifascist International Brigades, fighting in the Spanish Civil War.
