Théophile Ferré was a leader of the Paris Commune who was executed by the French government on this day in 1871. Ferré personally authorized the execution of the archbishop of Paris and was the first of 25 Communards to be executed.
Little is known about Ferré’s early life, before his participation in the Paris Commune. After Paris was seized by revolutionaries in March 1871, Ferré served on the Commune’s Committee of Public Safety, a body given extensive powers to hunt down enemies of the Commune.
On April 5th, the Commune passed a decree that authorized the arrest of any person thought to be loyal to the French government in Versailles, to be held as hostages. Prominent figures arrested included a Catholic priest Georges Darboy and the archbishop of Paris. The Commune hoped to exchange their hostages for Louis-Auguste Blanqui, a revolutionary and honorary President of the Commune, imprisoned by the state.
Following the events of the “Bloody Week”, in which the French government summarily executed many suspected Communards, Ferré authorized the execution of several hostages, including Darboy and the archbishop.
After the resistance of the Commune collapsed, Ferré was captured by the army, tried by a military court, and sentenced to death. On November 28th, 1871, he was shot at Satory, an army camp southwest of Versailles. He was the first of twenty-five Communards to be executed for their role in the Paris Commune.

My bank decided to do overnight .maintenance and my debit card doesn’t work. They also lock the nearest ATM at 9 so homeless people can’t sleep somewhere warm. I’ve got more money than normal in the bank and my card gets fucking declined just trying to buy a couple after work beers. And tonight we dealt with a table of 22 fifteen year old having a birthday party
hey remember how if the wind blew slightly differently a few months ago there’d be no more

Sorry but seeing a Francophone gen alpha ask whether other people think Assad looks like skibidi toilet is exactly what makes the internet beautiful.
“Communism doesn’t work. What we need is…” goes on to describe communism. Every fucking time.
I don’t really like anything about my day-to-day job, but it has an above average pension arrangement and above average vacation days, so the only way I’m leaving is if Germany’s economy somehow recovers (the country is evil, but the vacation and pension are nice).
My 30s are my only care about vacation and pension era.
I have awoken from my eternal slumber to post here
That podjon interview would’ve been vastly improved if instead Hasan pulled out a gun and unloaded it’s contents into the Podjon.
Whenever YouTube sword guys do a klingon Bat’leth video they seem under the impression that it’s a sword and should be treated as such and compared to one. That’s the fucking Mek’leth you absolute dunces. They usually spar against a guy with a sword too. Yknow what the Bat’leth would probably be fantastic against? A shield and spear guy. Curved blade can go over a shield and the 3 bigass holes for gripping could also be used to wrench a spear from an opponents hands. Try sparring that out instead. They are Pt’ahk and without honor.

after Michigan won against OSU a fight started between the teams and the Ohio cops pepper sprayed the Michigan players and guarded the Ohio State players. Classic cop behavior. ACAB
huh just realized that while alcohol is my More Problematic addiction i’m definitely more physically dependent on caffeine. i’ve taken week-ish breaks from alcohol with no withdrawals, whereas days where i forget my morning caffeine i’m immediately hit with some gnarly physical symptoms.
