Nov 11, 1923: Adolf Hitler is arrested in Munich for a failed coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch. He was sentenced to five years in prison but served only 9 months. Later, well... WW2.
History has a way of repeating itself: see Trump's failed coup, pathetic consequences, & return to racist power.

How many times do you have to actively engineer your own loss before you wake up to the fact that you need to quit pretending and just go the fuck home?
Democratic leadership needs to go the fuck home. Stop pretending you care.

Nov 10, 1898: A mob of 2,000 white supremacists in Wilmington, NC overthrow the city's biracial government, encouraged by wealthy white business owners wanting to root out black-owned competitors.
Estimates of 20-60 black folk were killed & another 2,000 fled, never to return. No one was charged.

Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is only fair when everyone else is wearing the same boots.
Today's entitled class has been carried on the back of poor people, but still complains about them as "lazy welfare people."
The cold truth? The US welfare state subsidizes the rich.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

Where would you be right now if America had universal health care? Would you stay at your job? Would your friends & loved ones be better off? Breathe easier?
For most Americans, universal healthcare would substantially increase their way of life. Private insurance only benefits stockholders & CEOs.

Nov 9, 1989: For the first time in almost 30 years, East Germany allowed citizens to cross through the Berlin wall & into West Germany. Officially, roughly 400 people died trying to cross this border, while unofficial counts are much higher.

Just remember: the holiday flights home for tens of thousands of parents and grandparents are getting canceled this week so that Republicans don't have to face how many flights Trump took thirty years ago to have sex with children.
Shutdowns freeze more than the government. The ripple hits airports, paychecks, and dinner tables across the country.
But we are PROUD of everyone holding the line for healthcare.
If you hit a delay remember: be kind to travel workers. And if you can donate to your local food bank, now’s the time.

Nov 7, 1916: Jeannette Rankin wins the first seat for a woman to the US House of Representatives.
Her bill was the first allowing women as citizens without their husbands, as well as government hygiene classes on maternity & infancy.
Over 100 years later, people still reject both of those ideas.

While millions of Americans went hungry … the government thought it necessary to waste tax dollars prosecuting a man for throwing a sandwich.
They’re wasting money trying to determine if a sandwich can be a weapon.
A sandwich is a sandwich. You know what it can do?

I managed tech for the US’s largest publishers for years. I fled because it was clear the billionaires will sooner let their publications die than print the truth. We need new presses and that is the only way out of this, and I don’t see any journalists interested in building that outside Substack.

Nov 6, 1943: Ukraine liberates Kyiv from German occupation, as part of a larger Soviet push during WW2. Both sides sustained heavy losses, but Germany would go on to lose their territory at the hands of those defending the area.

I’m old enough to remember when SCOTUS stopped the counting of ballots and called an election, and all the subsequent war crimes abroad and losses of civil liberties at home. There is a direct line from Dick Cheney to the mess we’re in today. Never forget that.

After a small standoff, the deputies suddenly open fire, killing 12 Wobblies and 2 of their own.
