“On the governor’s shopping list were helicopters, boats, police powers and reportedly even cellphone-hacking technology for a force outside of federal jurisdiction, and accountable directly to him.

“Haas also seemed to confirm the veterans’ assertion that the state guard’s brief had changed. It was a “military organization”, he said, that will be used for “aiding law enforcement with riots and illegal immigration”.”

"A Florida state guard established by the rightwing governor...under the guise of a civilian disaster relief force is instead being trained as an armed, combat-ready militia under his personal command, according to military veteran recruits who have quit the program... volunteers have been trained for military combat, including the use of weapons...

Well, this is disturbing. “State guard set up by DeSantis is being trained as personal militia, veterans say”

"I don’t even think the knows what’s going on. I don’t think this is a fly on his radar right now," Newhouse said. "I think he would be appalled that a veteran — a — would be abused by other members."

Don't be so ignorant. Of COURSE he knows. And NO, he wouldn't be appalled at any abuse that happened. Do you not know his reputation at ? 😒

Today in Labor History June 11, 1837: The Broad Street Riot occurred in Boston, between Irish Americans and Yankee firefighters. As shocking as this might seem to today’s readers, it was relatively common in the mid- to late-1800s. First, fire departments were generally volunteer or private organizations made up of ethnically similar people. Secondly, Nativist and anti-Catholic sentiment was rampant, which led to regular fights between “native” or Protestant fire crews and immigrant Catholic-Irish crews. Such a fight plays prominently in my historical novel, “Anywhere But Schuylkill.” This phenomenon is discussed in Noel Ignatiev’s excellent book, “How the Irish Became White.”

During the Broad Street Riot, roughly 800 people brawled, with 10,000 spectators egging them on. The firefighters vandalized nearby homes and businesses and beat residents (mostly Irish). While injuries were severe and pervasive, nobody died. The mayor had to call in the state militia to put down the riot. In the aftermath, Boston created its first municipal police and fire departments.

Today in Labor History June 10, 1904: The National Guard deported 79 striking Colorado miners to Kansas, following a battle between the Colorado Militia and striking miners at Dunnville that had occurred two days prior. The battle ended with six union members dead and 15 taken prisoner. Dozens were arrested without warrants and held without formal charges. All this occurred during the infamous Colorado Labor Wars (1903-1904) in which dozens of striking workers were slaughtered by cops, national guards and vigilantes and hundreds were deported. The miners, organized by the Western Federation of Miners, and led by future IWW founders Big Bill Haywood and Vincent Saint John, often fought back with guns, and engaged in sabotage, blowing up mines.

Site of the Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857. Mormans, lead by Isaac Haight & John Lee of the Nauvoo Legion, a state-authorized militia, murdered ~120 men, women, & children of the Baker--Fancher emigrant party who were traveling the Old Spanish Trail though the lower SW corner of what is now the State of Utah. The view to the SE. Many of the slain were buried in a mass grave in front of the cluster of trees in the distance.

Today in Labor History 1894: Colorado’s governor sent in the Colorado state militia to support the Cripple Creek miners' strike, the only time in history that a state militia was used to help a workers’ struggle, rather than to suppress it.

The mine owners were demanding a 10-hour day without an increase in pay. In response, the miners went on strike. There was considerable violence from both sides during the strike, led by the Western Federation of Miners (WFM). On March 16, some miners ambushed, shot and beat some sheriff’s deputies. The judge, a WFM member, let the miners off, but charged the deputies with carrying concealed weapons.

Furious, the Sheriff arrested 20 union leaders. Meanwhile, the mine owners conspired to bring in hundreds of scabs and deputized vigilantes. When the new deputies marched on the strikers’ camp, the miners blew up several mine structures, forcing the deputies to flee. The mine owners hired hundreds more vigilantes for their army. When he heard about the size of the miner owners’ force, the governor declared the deputies illegal and sent in state troops to defend the miners.

On June 5, the day before the state troops arrived, the mine owners’ army began cutting telegraph lines and arresting reporters and hundreds of town residents. When the state troops arrived, there were already gun battles going on between the vigilante army and the miners. However, the state troops gained control of the town relatively quickly and the mine owners disbanded their army and sent them home.

300 miners were arrested, but only four were convicted. And the populist governor pardoned them all. The WFM won, keeping the 8-hour day and their $3/day wages. And, they were so popular because of their victory, that they easily organized most of the other industries in the region (e.g., waitresses, laundry workers, bartenders, newsboys) into 54 new locals.
