On this day, 28 January 1917, Carmelita Torres, a 17-year-old Mexican maid who worked in the United States, refused to take the mandatory gasoline bath given to day labourers at the border, and convinced 30 other trolley passengers to join her. Her protest spread in what became known as the bath riots. Torres was one of many workers who crossed the border between Juarez and El Paso each day. In the name of public health, Mexican workers were frequently subjected to degrading and humiliating treatment. They had to strip naked, brave, undergo a toxic gasoline bath, and have their clothes steamed. The stated aim of the programme was to kill lice, which can spread typhus. However, it was not applied to everyone crossing the border: just working class Mexicans. In addition to gasoline being poisonous, it was also a deadly fire risk. A group of prisoners in El Paso being treated with gasoline were burned to death in an accidental fire. Furthermore, US health workers were secretly photographing naked Mexican women. On January 28, anger at the practice finally exploded, and within a few hours Torres had amassed a crowd of several thousand mostly women protesters. They blocked all traffic and trolleys into El Paso. They pelted immigration officers with rocks and bottles when they try to disperse them, and when US and then Mexican troops arrived they received the same treatment. The riots were eventually suppressed by the soldiers, and Torres herself was arrested. This appeared to have the effect of discouraging future protests. The enforced bathing and fumigation of Mexican workers with toxic chemicals like gasoline, and later DDT and Zyklon B, continued until the 1950s. The use of Zyklon B at the border appealed to scientists in Nazi Germany, who in the late 1930s began using the agent at borders and in concentration camps for delousing. Although notoriously they later used it to exterminate millions of people in the Holocaust. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1909097335942074/?type=3

Clois!! (I'm not picky about the show)

Hey! Thanks for asking....I'm tagging @sci-fi-pony as she asked for DCEU clois (Please know, though: mine is a kinda universal perspective when it comes to them, so)

So even if (some of ) the following tend to be canon (only) in the comics, I see them working really well with the DCEU as well as all other incarnations!

Here we go:

Who was the one to propose?

CLARK!! (No doubts- whatever iteration 😄, and he was extremely nervous about popping the question, and not screwing the whole thing up!)

Who stressed more over wedding planning?

Lois, possibly - coz Clark would've been in and out- saving the day (doesn't mean he wasn't stressed though!)

Who decorated the house?

While moving in? Both. Taking the time to find the perfect spot for everything Otherwise- I'm betting Clark. (I picture him to be picky about indoor decor (also- he's the one who puts in an effort to keep everything neat and tidy and properly in place,)

Who does the cooking?

Again, CLARK! 😂. And he's an exceptional chef- Lois is absolutely appreciative of that, and Clark simply spoils her with heavenly meals and desserts.

Who is more organized?

Clark (Wow- Kent you've outdone yourself!)...we all have seen the state of Lois' desk at the planet(and outside)!

I agree this one looks comparatively neater, though:

Who suggested kids first?

IMO- Lois. (As surprising as it may appear to be! And I'm pretty sure it wasn't an intentional conversation- it came up and they had a long enlightening talk).

Who’s the cuddler?

I think they're both pros in that field (which is saying something, as Lois is pretty foreign to that sort of thing)

Who’s the big spoon/little spoon?

Clark's the big spoon, definitely. It works the other way too, sometimes! (That is-when she isn't purposefully sprawling herself over him)

What’s their favorite non-sexual activity?

Date nights- up in the sky a.k.a flying together. (What am I saying? Rephrase- ONLY DATE NIGHTS; no funny business)

Who cooks?

No- I'm not changing my opinion, it's still Kent!

Who comes home drunk at 3am?

LOIS! And Clark's all momma bear mode later...(it physically pains him to see her in that state lol, so instead of reprimanding- he's actually very caring and considerate about the whole issue) Although this is a different scenario....it's pretty much self explanatory

Who kills the spiders?

Lois. ( "LO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THEY HAVE A PULSE, HON- LEAVE THOSE POOR CREATURES ALONE!")

Who falls asleep first?

Lois. But she makes sure that he falls asleep first after one of those infamous "nightmare" episodes.

A head canon?

My head canons literally suck but.. they love slow dancing (Lois is terrible at it and was initially mortified by that idea but, still...)- may it be on Valentine's day, their anniversary or any other festive/non festive occasion- it just comes naturally.

Their relationship summed up in a gif?

Very impossible for me to do that, sorry! However- I'm open to your ideas!

Do they have any “rituals”?

This isn't totally a head cannon but : Every New Year's Eve, Clark would zoom them both to watch mesmerizing firework displays from the top of the world. (As cheesy as that sounds)

Who has the most patience?

Clark. Yeah- who's surprised?

So there's that!! And I did dig the internet for a G.I.F, lol I couldn't come up with one that could perfectly sum up their relationship!

You guys wanna add something, feel free!

Thankyou so much for asking!

Hey, that’s a pretty good idea. I’ll give you the moon, Mary.
