Today in Labor History July 10, 1921: Bloody Sunday: Seventeen people died and 200 houses were destroyed during rioting and gun battles in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The violence erupted the day before the beginning of a truce that was supposed to end the Irish War of Independence. As the truce approached, police launched a raid against republicans. However, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) ambushed them, killing an officer. In retaliation, Protestant loyalists attacked Catholic enclaves in west Belfast. As a result, Protestants and Catholics paramilitaries battled each other in the streets. There were also gun battles between Republicans and the police. And police also fired indiscriminately at Catholic civilians. Belfast, alone, saw almost 500 people killed from 1920–22 in political and sectarian violence related to the Irish War of Independence. The Irish War of Independence has been portrayed in the play “The Shadow of a Gunman,” by Seán O'Casey, the 1929 novel, “The Last September,” by Elizabeth Bowen, the 1931 short story, “Guests of the Nation,” by Frank O'Connor and the more recent novels: “Troubles,” by J. G. Farrell (1970), “The Old Jest,” (1979) by Jennifer Johnston, and “The Soldier's Song,” (2010) by Alan Monaghan. #workingclass #LaborHistory #irish #independence #Revolutionary #belfast #BloodySunday #ireland #republican #catholic #protestant #civilians

Today in Labor History February 24, 1895: Revolution broke out in Baire, near Santiago de Cuba. This was the beginning of the Cuban War of Independence (1895-1898). The liberation war ended with the Spanish-American War and the U.S. taking Cuba as a colony. Some of the more well-known commanders of the Cuban revolution were the poet Jose Marti (composer of “Guantanamera”) and Afro-Cuban Antonio Maceo, the Titan of Bronze. #workingclass #LaborHistory #cuba #independence #Revolution #josemarti #antoniomaceo #liberation #guantanamera #colonialism #revolutionary #blackhistorymonth #BlackMastodon

Woo hoo! #SCOTUS allows #LisaCook to remain at #Fed in another loss for #Trump The Supreme Court on Monday rejected Trump’s attempt to immediately fire #FederalReserve Governor Lisa Cook. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for a 5-4 majority. #law #Independence #economy #democracy https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/29/politics/live-news/supreme-court-issues-opinions?post-id=cmqzaxggj00083b6san25wpwi

The ruling is the most consequential case for the Fed’s future, for now fending off the politicization of an institution that’s responsible for being a technocratic steward of the #US #economy. In the end, the decision — which came months after the court struck down Trump’s sweeping emergency #tariffs — suggests that the longstanding principle of #independence for the #Fed was a line that not even #Trump could cross. #law #SCOTUS #economy #democracy

However apparently the #FTC is a different matter #SCOTUS EXPANDS Trump’s power to fire officials, overturning nearly century-old precedent SCOTUS Monday backed Trump’s firing of a member of the #FederalTradeCommission, a substantial win for the admin’s unprecedented effort to consolidate #power within the #ExecutiveBranch that will have sweeping implications for parts of the government #Congress intended to operate with #independence from presidential #politics. #law https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/29/politics/live-news/supreme-court-issues-opinions?post-id=cmqzb1tqh00093b6s59itb2ot
