If you'll gather 'round me, children
A story I will tell
'Bout pretty horny Justin Eichorn
Minnesota knew him well

Eichorn was a trumper
Deranged as a rabid squirrel
Got elected to Minnesota's Senate
To target liberals

Pretty Justin Eichorn
Solicited minors for romance
Sooner or later incels
Can't keep it in their pants

His fondness for this minor
It was strong and it was true
But instead of that purty girl
He got the Boys in Blue

Today in Labor History February 5, 1917: U.S. Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917 over President Wilson’s veto. Also known as the Asiatic Barred Zone Act, it was one of many anti-Asian laws passed by Congress between the 1860s and World War II. However, there were plenty of other xenophobic, nativist and anti-left immigration laws, too. The Immigration Act of 1903 specifically barred Anarchists and epileptics. The Immigration Act of 1882 specifically barred “lunatics, idiots and prostitutes.” The Immigration Act of 1918 and the Sedition Act of 1918 came at the beginning of the First Red Scare. Thousands of Anarchists, Communists, Socialists and labor leaders were arrested, executed, or imprisoned as a result of these laws.

“The Chinese Question,” cartoon by Thomas Nast for Harper’s Weekly. Feb. 2, 1871. The cartoon depicts a defiant Columbia (the classically draped, female personification of the U.S.) comforting a crouched and defeated Chinese man, as an armed mob of white men approach. In the background is a wall of racist, anti-Chinese hate speech.

History Walks in Venice

A Catalogue of Courtesans

The famous courtesans were always one of the attractions of Venice. People came from all over, for the carnival, for the gambling and for the courtesans.

Everybody came for the courtesans.

When Henry III of Poland and France came to Venice on an official visit in 1574, the Republic of Venice made sure that he had the pleasant company of Veronica FranA Catalogue of prostitutesco, poetess and one of the most renowned Venetian courtesans of the time.

Veronica Franco is also mentioned in a rather curious document, which has survived to our times in just a few handwritten copies.

Today in Labor History January 1, 1879: Ben Reitman was born on this day. Reitman was a comrade and one-time lover of Emma Goldman, a doctor to hobos and prostitutes, and an anarchist organizer. He wrote the novel, “Boxcar Bertha.” Scorsese later made a film based on this book. Reitman became a hobo at the age of ten, but returned to Chicago and got a job in a lab. In 1900, he started medical school. His first daughter founded the nudist Out-of-Door Club at Highland, New York. As a physician, Reitman performed many abortions when they were still illegal. In 1907 he founded the Hobo College for migrant education, political organizing and social services. The during San Diego Free Speech Fight in 1912-1913, vigilantes tarred and feathered him, burned “IWW” into his skin and raped him with a broom. In 1916, he served six-month in prison for breaking the Comstock Law by disseminating information on birth control.
