I think my great grandmother Elizabeth Ann (Coe) Call is wearing her white W.C.T.U. bow pin in the photos. I know she was a member. My great great grandmother founded the local W.C.T.U. group

Created & designed by Dana Noga. This is just a small portion of the tombstones that represent all the things that have been destroyed by the current administration.
Zoom in - the shadows make some eerily difficult to read.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.
