In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Subskeeting here but saying that the End Wokeness X account is “allegedly” run by Jack Posobiec is still misinformation. The only person seriously alleging this is an OSINT influencer whose “evidence” is based on several misunderstandings.
Was just reminded of a video published last year supposedly “proving” that Jack Posobiec “likely” runs the “End Wokeness” account. Maybe he does (I doubt it), but there’s no real evidence in that video.
