Today in Labor History September 5, 1936: Photographer Robert Capa captured the death of 24-year-old anarchist Federico "Taino" Borrell in the iconic photo The Falling Soldier. Borell was an antifascist fighter, killed during the Spanish Civil War. Capa is considered by many to be the greatest war photojournalist ever. He was the only civilian photographer who landed on Omaha Beach during D-Day. He co-founded Magnum Photos collective, which included David "Chim" Seymour, Maria Eisner, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, William Vandivert, and Rita Vandivert. He died after stepping on a landmine in Vietnam in 1954

"The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed," writes Garrett Graff for his Doomsday Scenario newsletter. He chronicles why he feels that today, August 25, 2025, is a date to remember. "Everything else from here on out is just a matter of degree and wondering how bad it will get and how far it will go," he writes. "Do we end up 'merely' like Hungary or do we go all the way toward an 'American Reich'? So far, after years of studying World War II, I fear that America’s trajectory feels more like Berlin circa 1933 than it does Budapest circa 2015."

The Trump administration's contract with Israel's Paragon Solutions gives ICE access to one of the most powerful stealth cyberweapons ever created, placing it into the hands of a government agency known to violate due process and human & civil rights. It will be able to hack into any phone, bypass encryption, including Signal, track the user's whereabouts, use the phone's camera and microphone to secretly spy on the phone's owner.
