We had a king fighting for more voting rights? 👑
In the 1660s, Charles II ordered Massachusetts to let all landowning men vote—not just church members. The irony? Back in England, Charles II dissolved Parliament for years before his death.

Massachusetts Bay ran as an almost independent Puritan republic from 1629 to 1684 — until the King annulled its charter, making their entire government was illegal on paper. They folded into the Dominion of New England, sparking one of the earliest “mini-revolutions” in American history. #history 🧵

King Charles II pushed for more voting rights in the 1660s. He ordered Massachusetts to expand the vote beyond church members to all landholding men. The Puritans resisted, clinging to religious purity tests for decades. Their stubbornness helped cost them their charter in 1684. #history #puritans

Did the second generation of Puritans rebel against their parents like the hippies? Well, according to their elder, Minister John Eliot, the young men were growing their hair too long! The longer locks we think of puritan men sporting were actually a little rebellious for the time. 🧵

Shout out to New Sweden (1638-1655). A little bit of Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey was once ruled by Queen Christina. These American Swedes would revolt against the English in 1669, we know how this ends. Their legacy is the introduction of the log cabin to America. #history #colonial

You found a "solution" for autism? Is it accepting everyone's place in the beautiful mosaic of human life? Okay I'm guessing from the look on your face that it's not that

Many feel a quiet grief: missing who they were before politics became a daily assault on the nervous system. Life was already heavy, then came the drip-feed of outrage, dread, and fatigue that bent our days. #Resilience

Today was my last day at the Eisenhower Library. I came across a 1964 letter Dwight Eisenhower wrote warning against “hate-filled people who set themselves up as super-patriots and, so doing, try to destroy the rights, liberties and opportunities of the average loyal American.” Worth heeding 🗃️
