Nov 27, 1868: Lt Colonel Custer leads 800 soldiers to attack a peaceful Cheyenne camp at Washita River. They massacred men, women, children, and horses, taking hostages for human shields.
Realizing he was surrounded by other camps, Custer withdrew quickly, without checking if his officers survived.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Nov 24, 1915: Albert Einstein presented his equations on general relativity to the Prussian Academy of Sciences, becoming one of the founding fathers of modern science.

Trump threatening decorated military veterans with death or jail for telling soldiers not to follow illegal orders is exactly like every B-movie corrupt mayor who threatens the retired sheriff for reminding cops to uphold the law.
Spoiler: the mayor is a failed, corrupt, & despised POS in the end.

Aa handful of complicit sycophants does not count as "many great legal scholars." Also, they urged people to disobey illegal orders, which is part of their training and required by law.

Someone tells you as a writer not to talk about your work? You're doing exactly as past famous writers have.
We know "classic greats" like Shakespeare, Mary Shelley, & Hemingway because they actively promoted their work, whether through supporters, self-publishing, or advertising.
You can too.

If you're an author being published by small and tiny presses, please shamelessly promote your work, however much your temperament might militate against it. I've seen many wonderful authors at this level so quickly forgotten when they die, you deserve all the readers you can get while you're alive.

Social Security is not dying. It is being starved. We need it, the rich do not. The cap that shields the wealthy from paying more is a wall made up of greed. Lift it & the system is reborn. Voters keep choosing those who serve the wealthy, then wonder why the table is empty. #ProtectSocialSecurity

Even still, he pushed on, hoping to help create freedom and compassion that he knew he may never live to see.

An excerpt from Lyndon B Johnson's speech to a joint Congress, upon becoming President after the assassination of John F Kennedy.
It reads as almost the exact opposite of the Trump Admin's policies, which is why it's so important to push back against them.
