For those of us who are not lawyers… I’ll just leave this here.

They will attempt to defend anything and everything that disgusting rapist and his band of merry thieves say or do.

Yeah, I've seen that same maga bs on fb and other social media sites. They're desperate to provide cover for dear leader.

"JUST SO THE DRAFT BOARD KNOWS, I HAVE HEREDITARY BONE SPURS."

He might have inherited his daddy’s bone spurs…..

The people who start wars never worry about their own kids fighting them.
Everyone else does.

I feel his anger. 💔
If the risk were equal, this war would not be happening.

The family home of Susanna Salter in Argonia, Kan.

Postscript: Salter’s former home in Argonia is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and serves as a museum. A bronze plaque in Argonia’s public square also honors her historic service. As of the 2020 census, the population of Argonia was 456.

Salter’s one year in office was largely uneventful but handled with such competence and decorum that it drew international press coverage. She was paid a salary of $1 (about $36 today) for her service. She moved to Oklahoma in 1893 and eventually settled in Norman. She died in 1961 at age 101. /end

At that time, candidates didn’t have to be made public until election day. When Salter discovered her name was on the ballot, she agreed to serve if elected. Supported by the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union and the local Republican Party, she won by a landslide with a two-thirds majority. /4

The men who put Salter on the ballot weren’t just mocking women’s political ambitions. They were against prohibition, and Salter was an officer in the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. The pranksters replaced the man the WCTU had endorsed with Salter, believing it would silence the group. /3

Salter’s election was the result of a failed attempt to discourage women from seeking office. In 1887, weeks after Kansas granted women the right to vote in municipal elections, a group of men secretly placed her name on the ballot for mayor. They assumed she would suffer a humiliating defeat. /2

This is unconscionable. Kash Patel needs to RESIGN NOW! Every damn day it’s something worse than the day before with this fucking administration.😡

Arkansas is choosing a new voice for the Supreme Court—and we need leaders who will protect fairness, justice, and the rights of everyday people, not just the powerful

Excellent thread Eddie 🔥 Thank you for posting it.

The Modern Echo: The McCrea story is a blueprint still used today:
1️⃣ Take a sympathetic victim.
2️⃣ Highlight a "foreign" threat.
3️⃣ Convince the public that "you're next."

When fear replaces nuance, it's easier to justify extreme measures.

Propaganda is a helluva drug.

The Sullivan Expedition (1779): We see this fear turn into action just two years later. General Washington ordered a "scorched earth" campaign to destroy Iroquois villages and food supplies, treating an entire culture as an existential threat to be removed. (cont)

Massacre & Retribution: The 1779-80 Sullivan Expedition The brutal 1778 Cherry Valley Massacre prompted a wide-ranging punitive expedition that broke Iroquois power

It created a lasting framework for anti-Indigenous sentiment. If the "Other" is inherently "merciless," then coexistence is impossible and displacement becomes "necessary."

Do you see where this is going, my friends?

This "viral" fear caused a massive spike in militia enlistments. Men joined the fight not for taxes, but out of a perceived "pre-emptive defense" to protect their own families from the "Other"—the Indigenous.

Jane McCrea - Saratoga National Historical Park (U.S. National Park Service)

The message to the public was: "If the British can't (or won't) protect a loyal woman like Jane, then no one is safe." This effectively ended any hope for neutrality or nuance on the frontier. This was manufactured vulnerability—and it worked!(cont)
www.nps.gov/sara/learn/h...

They played the "vulnerable maiden" card: Patriot leaders transformed Jane into a symbol of "civilization" under attack. By highlighting her innocence and beauty, they stripped away the political complexity of the war and made it a moral battle of "Us vs. Them." (cont)
