MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History February 24, 1919: U.S. Congress passed a new Child Labor law. However, in 1924, the courts declared it unconstitutional. A similar law passed in 1917. The Supreme Court ruled that one unconstitutional, too. It wasn’t until the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act that modern child labor laws were enforced in the U.S. However, the law never banned child labor in agriculture. Consequently, 500,000 children pick roughly 25% of all the food harvested in the U.S. They often still work 10 or more hours a day. They are exposed to dangerous pesticides and die at a rate five times higher than kids in other industries. Barely half the kids working in agriculture ever finish high school.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>children</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/childlabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>childlabor</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/childabuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>childabuse</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workplacedeath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workplacedeath</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workplaceinjury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workplaceinjury</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/school" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>school</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a></p>

It has also coursed through dairy farms in 16 states since last March, according to the USDA, reducing milk production. More than 60 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> on both dairy and poultry farms have been infected since then, all of whom recovered.</p><p>"But one Louisiana resident died last month after contracting bird flu from a backyard flock.

DoomsdaysCW<p>As the Trump admin deletes online data, scientists and digital librarians rush to save it</p><p>The race is on to save public information about health and science before Trump makes it disappear</p><p>"Deleting gobs of public data/resources as well is the digital equivalent of book burning."</p><p>By Carlyn Zwarenstein <br>Published February 4, 2025 11:46AM (EST)<br>Updated February 5, 2025 8:34PM (EST) </p><p>"Orders from the Trump administration affecting science and health in the United States — and from there, the world — are coming thick and fast, affecting a myriad of institutional and personal decisions that depend on accurate information provided by the U.S. government. This ranges from websites disappearing to the prohibition of dictionary words from federal scientist research papers. Now researchers and data nerds are rushing to preserve this vital information before it’s lost.</p><p>"Meanwhile, many public communications have been paused as well. For the first time in sixty years, the federal health agency, the Centers for Disease Control (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CDC</span></a>), has stopped its own publications, including the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MMWR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MMWR</span></a>). This comes on top of a communications gag order preventing its scientists from sharing any new findings — from new insights in cancer treatment to potential new pandemics like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ebola" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ebola</span></a> — with the public.</p><p>"Additionally, it orders that a list of specific terms be removed from any CDC research manuscript being submitted to, already being considered, or already in press by any scientific or medical journal, with publication paused or retracted until the terms are scrubbed from the work. The terms in question are: Gender, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transgender</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PregnantPerson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PregnantPerson</span></a>, pregnant people, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBT</span></a>, transsexual, non-binary, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nonbinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nonbinary</span></a>, assigned male at birth, assigned female at birth, biologically male, biologically female.</p><p>"A quick search by Salon of PubMed, the National Institutes of Health-run database of academic biomedical and health publications as well as related disciplines like life sciences and chemical sciences, shows that it currently contains 145,340 pages’ worth of results (1,453,391individual publications) featuring the term '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a>,' and 5,613 publications with the term '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transexual</span></a>,' with papers dating back to 1903.</p><p>"Since most medical science papers report demographic details, excluding papers that report this information or use this language would mean un-publishing exciting new findings on cancer treatment, or, say, vital information about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/H5N1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>H5N1</span></a> transmission among American <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> or the ongoing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tuberculosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tuberculosis</span></a> outbreak in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KansasCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KansasCity</span></a> area. The exact implications of President Trump’s orders are not entirely clear, so it’s hard to say exactly what may not be published as a result, but pre-emptive self-censorship is also likely. On Monday, some of the pages had already been restored, according to the New York Times, underscoring the unpredictable status of some federal information.</p><p>"In the meantime, a general communications gag order bans any CDC scientist from submitting any new scientific findings to the public. As federally-funded health websites and webpages disappear in real time from the Internet, the race is on to preserve vital datasets and formerly public information.</p><p>"Charles Gaba, a health care policy data analyst and web developer, created links on his website to every mirrored copy of the CDC’s public facing web pages as they appear on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InternetArchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InternetArchive</span></a>, a nearly 30-year-old non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the internet from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DataDecay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataDecay</span></a>.</p><p>"'These pages and related files are both funded by taxpayers and specifically intended to be for the general public, after all,' Gaba told Salon. In quickly indexing every public-facing page on the CDC site in the nick of time, he anticipated what has happened over the past few days, although perhaps not the specifics of Trump’s Jan. 29 memo to all federal departments and agencies, outlining an executive order called '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendingWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendingWomen</span></a>', that seems to have triggered the hasty scrubbing of federally-funded sites.</p><p>"Still, Gaba notes that both the former president’s campaign statements, and language in the policy playbook <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Project2025</span></a>, had promised to purge the federal government of 'anyone or anything' that they see as related to diversity, equity and inclusion, and of purging federal agencies of references and resources to the same."</p><p><a href="https://www.salon.com/2025/02/04/as-the-admin-deletes-online-data-scientists-and-digital-librarians-rush-to-save-it/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">salon.com/2025/02/04/as-the-ad</span><span class="invisible">min-deletes-online-data-scientists-and-digital-librarians-rush-to-save-it/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Erasure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Erasure</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransHistoryIsHumanHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransHistoryIsHumanHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BookBurning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BookBurning</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpIsTryingToKillUsAllOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIsTryingToKillUsAllOff</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History January 14, 1914: The trial of Suhr and Ford began on this date in Marysville, California. Suhr and Ford were IWW organizers who were ultimately convicted for their alleged role in the gun battle at Durst Ranch in Wheatland. Four died in the so-called “Wheatland riots” (Aug 1913) when police fired into a crowd of California farmworkers trying to organize with the IWW. The dead included the district attorney and sheriff, as well as two farm workers. The governor called in the national guard to restore order. At the time, Durst Ranch was the largest employer of agricultural laborers in the state. They grew hops for the British beer industry. Durst regularly hired seasonal pickers in the summers, forcing them to live in tents on a hot, barren hillside. Conditions were unsanitary. The closest water was a mile away. Durst’s brother exploited workers further by selling them overpriced lemonade, in lieu of water. They had to pay 75 cents per week in rent. Wages were under $1.50/day and Durst withheld 10% of each worker’s wages as insurance against them quitting before harvest season ended. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IWW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IWW</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>strike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wheatland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wheatland</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/riots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>riots</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>police</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/murder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>murder</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/acab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>acab</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>beer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceBrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceBrutality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceAbuse</span></a></p>
