Gosh, but that would make a fascinating book…to hear women’s voices years after the Revolution and how they viewed it in terms of their rights.

Speaking truth can be liberating, and it’s clear Massie is enjoying his freedom.

The misogyny is the point

Oh they don’t like the whistles? Hey everyone, they don’t like the whistles. If you use them it makes the armed goons sad.

some type of shit you’d make 2 years ago making fun of rightwingers

Thanks #HATM peeps and @herberthistory.bsky.social!! Episode Three was fun! See you guys tomorrow night for more of Ken Burns’ The American Revolution! Love ya, peeps!! 😊😊👋👋😄😄❤️❤️

For anyone looking to learn more about the Battle of Long Island (Battle of Brooklyn) #HATM discovering.nyc/the-battle-o...

Fascinating that Washington treats the Hessian prisoners well in an attempt to paint them as fellow victims of tyrants. Whatever works to win…apparently!! 😄🙂👍 #RevolutionaryPropaganda #HATM

Go get Trenton, General Washington!! 😄😄 #DrunkHessianTakedown #CoolChristmasCrossing #HATM

Ugh!! British soldiers getting all rapey in New Jersey. Just awful!! Yes, it happens in war, but we should never be numb to it, but instead always be horrified!! 😳😳🤬🤬 #PlatoonPedophiles #HATM

So George McClellan was apparently the American reincarnation of William Howe? 🤔 Seems apt to me!! 💁‍♀️😅 #CautiousCommanders #SlowStrikers #HATM

Benedict Arnold’s running naval gun battle on Lake Champlain is really fascinating. Arnold should have been an honorary naval officer apparently because he’s always up and downriver in the New York- Canadian borderlands, lol! 😄😅👍 #BoisterousBoatBattle #HATM

I do think this is a fair use of Abigail’s well known quote as it contextualizes the fallacies of a male centered historical narrative. Yes, we need more women’s perspectives and quotes too! I would like to know other female perspectives too! One wonders what the closeted Trans woman felt? 🤔🏳️‍⚧️ #HATM

Welp…New York could have been called Little London, I guess. 😳😬 Yeah, Howe clearly outmaneuvered Washington in this instance. 😳🤦‍♀️ #HATM

The American Revolution inspiring 1776 Jamaican and other Caribbean island revolts is fascinating! 😮 I’m sure southern plantation owners were “thrilled” at that development, lol! 😳😮😅 #HATM

They had Hessian Chaplains?! Makes sense. Sorry I’m all history fan girling over these German Mercs all of a sudden! 🤦‍♀️😅 I really need more books on them apparently! Lol!! 💁‍♀️😅 #HessianHistory #HATM

Hessian zombies, cannibals, whatever!! I meant what I knew, lol!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😅😅 #GermanZombieCannibals #HATM

Typing so much about Hessian zombies that I’m missing Howe taking New York…Oy!! Lol!! 😳🤦‍♀️😅😅 #DorkyDonna #HATM

Oh those crazy Hessians!! If we have “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”, I think there is a great opportunity for a historical teen fiction series based on Hessian Zombies terrorizing New Jersey or some shit and Washington has to figure out how to beat them. What do you guys think, lol!! 😅😅💁‍♀️ #HATM

I love that Burns places Comanche and Lakota expansion in historical, chronological context with Howe’s moves on New York. This American West historian chick appreciates it!! 😄😄 #EastWest #HATM

The Native American role in the conflict is absolutely fascinating and another example that American settlers were always ruthless in exploiting opportunities at expansion and “land grabbing.” Ugh!! 🤦‍♀️😳 #HATM

I transcribed a diary of an Alexandria woman who had nothing positive to say about the Rev War generation of men. The context was how they’d denied her the education she wanted. Her words are harsh. I wonder how many other women felt the same, but we only ever hear Abigail’s voice.

The British Navy of that era would undoubtedly be something to see. Frightening and awe inspiring in their might. Good for the South Carolinians in repelling them!! 😄👍 #HATM

Throwing Loyalists into a copper mine doesn’t seem very “freedomy” to me, seems like authoritarian cosplay overkill to me. Just sayin’…🤔😅 Ugh! I hope Trump doesn’t watch this and get ideas for those of us opposing him!! Quiet, Drew Donna!! Breathe, girl!! 🤦‍♀️😮😄 #HATM

“The Times That Try Men’s Souls” indeed! But enough about MAGA infighting about the Epstein files, let’s learn about Howe’s plans for New York during the Revolution!! Lol!! 😮😄😅😅 #HATM

Hey #HATM peeps!! 😄👋❤️ I’m back for night 3 of Ken Burns, The American Revolution!! And per normal, my western Nebraska ass is an hour behind the rest of you guys! Lol!! Let’s get Colonial!! 😅🙌

Yeah, add South Carolina to the list of states I have no interest in going to…at least until it is run by progressive women, Trans and Cis alike! ✊✊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal. This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

Too bad. You own this.

He bullied this woman reporter because he is pathetic and scared. He knows the files are coming.

Good morning all. Starting with a quiet cup of tea and a book. Have a great day! Bertha Wegman - Contemplation #art #tea

You ever think about how Nazis tried to tie their regime to history, as though they were the inheritors of a grand tradition passed on through the ages, and how the modern anti-trans rhetoric of "traditional" masculinity and femininity is a repackaged version of exactly the same logic?

How do you think this impacts someone who is trans? Your *existence* described as an ideology that needs to be expunged. Lionising hateful bigots. It’s disgusting, and it should disgust all citizens. www.outinperth.com/liberal-sena...

Nixon fought all the way to the Supreme Court to stop recordings of himself talking like this from becoming public. Aside from the substance of guilt they revealed, people really were scandalized to hear POTUS talking like that, and he was mortified. Thus the famous [expletive deleted] transcripts.

Think what you will about Travis, but he met Taylor when she was (and still is) one of the most powerful women in the world. And she has an army - critical yet crazy protective army. And you don't make it public, and def not marring a woman like that unless you absolutely adore her (the real her)

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground. At least three weeks

And if it was Biden, they'd also be going on about how old and tired and defeated he looks.

There are what a dozen other reports all standing there and not one can show a moments solidarity? Just repeat her damn question FFS.

I mean. What the. He can't be completely with it. This is declining uncle in his La-Z-Boy yelling at his in home assistant behavior

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

Prosecuting a federal case for the first time appears to be difficult. Or so it seems from watching Colorado's own Lindsay Halligan.

Trump knows he’s totally fucked by the Epstein files fiasco.

I am usually pretty unmoved by the president's failures of decorum, because I find it creepy that people are generally unmoved by fucked up presidential shit if it's discussed in a tasteful manner and everyone adheres to fancy, historic norms, but that "Quiet, Piggy" shit was something.

“Piggy” is particularly egregious but he tells reporters to shut up all the time. He insults them personally and asks where they work before telling them they’re bad people. The only way to know this is by watching the unedited videos because it’s so routine that it’s not considered newsworthy.

The NYTimes ran a piece on trans passports and cited Brianna Wu of all people as the voice of trans people. @nytimes.com journalists are evil and want us all dead.

What pisses me off is that this timeline really is, “what if the worst kids I knew in school in the late 80’s and 90’s didn’t change or learn even a little and somehow wound up in power while those of us who actually became adults were just living our lives?”

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Wild how the Boy Mayor age for cis white men overlaps with the geriatric pregnancy age

Thanks #HATM and @herberthistory.bsky.social!! That was fun! I enjoyed posting along with you guys even though I was just a “little” bit behind, lol!! 😅😅 We’ll have to keep doing it! 😄😄 Everyone have a good night and hold true to our best American ideals!! Love you peeps!! 😊😊❤️❤️
