@TXMilitary All Hail King Trump, honor and defend the Crown, worship the Dear Leader as required and you will face no consequences!!

@TXMilitary Typical republican behavior, afraid of the whole damn world, threats on every street corner, oh my, get your guns, as many guns as you can, get yourself a military grade arsenal, grab wives, children and lock your doors, the invasion will start any minute…be prepared to fight!!!

Under the direction of Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Military Department is conducting Operation Fury Shield in coordination with partner agencies to safeguard Texas critical infrastructure. #AlwaysReadyAlwaysThere #TexasStrong #OperationFuryShield

@TXMilitary King Tump gets what King Tump wants, and we the peasants get the crumbs if our service to the King is satisfactory.

@TXMilitary Does Trump or anyone in the Republican Party look like they give a crap? No. They might claim to but they prove otherwise time and time. They care solely about keeping Trump happy and protected from prosecution. To hell with us.

@TXMilitary Republicans run up the deficit and we get war and things that benefit the American people cut, democrats run up the deficit and we get peace and things that benefit the American people funded.

@TXMilitary Ever notice how war and terrorism only happens under republican administrations, and there’s peace and calm under democrat administrations. Your grocery bill and gas prices were lower under Biden, btw.

@TXMilitary Republican policies, current and going back decades are sole the reason why we have any problems with anyone anywhere else in the world, and why Americans are struggling. Republicans are antagonistic and hostile.

@TXMilitary Meanwhile Texas has the largest number of uninsured Americans who cannot afford health care, and are paid too little to afford the premiums if their workplace offers health care coverage, food insecurity is high. And they don’t care about that at all. Just brown skinned “threats”

@Blatoski1 @TXMilitary Texas republicans do have a perverse obsession with furries….among others such a drag performers, LGBTQ people, what’s in who’s pants and who’s doing what with whom in the bedroom, trans kids, other aspects of children’s bodies they sexualize….just par for the course.

@TXMilitary I totally read that as furry at first

@JWMonks @archeohistories What’s going on with the guy who is seated though? Lol

@archeohistories Add a subtle touch of AI & they're brought back to life!

The Kiowa people of the Great Plains had a distinctive and highly practical hairstyle that became one of their most recognizable cultural markers in early American history. Kiowa warriors traditionally cut their hair in a horizontal line from the lower outside edge of the eyes straight back to the ears. This unique style was not simply a matter of fashion or tribal identity, though it certainly served both purposes. The practical origin of the cut was rooted in the demands of mounted combat and hunting. When a warrior drew a bowstring back to fire an arrow at full gallop, loose hair falling forward could easily become tangled in the bowstring at the critical moment of release. A tangled bowstring could cause a misfired shot, injure the archer, or cost precious seconds in a battle or hunt where every moment mattered. By cropping the hair at that precise horizontal line, Kiowa warriors eliminated the risk entirely, keeping their vision clear and their bowstring free. The hairstyle was so distinctive and consistent among Kiowa men that neighboring tribes and early European observers used it as an identifying feature of the nation. The famous American artist George Catlin, who documented Plains Indian cultures in the early 19th century, specifically painted Kiowa warriors wearing this characteristic style. The hairstyle was also incorporated into Plains Sign Language, where the Kiowa were identified by holding two fingers near the lower outside edge of the right eye and sweeping them back toward the ear, physically tracing the line of the cut. This means the Kiowa were literally defined in sign language by a gesture that recreated their haircut. The fact that a practical military adaptation became both a cultural identity marker and a recognized symbol in intertribal communication illustrates how deeply function shaped Kiowa life and how everyday decisions in a warrior society rippled outward into culture, art, and diplomacy. The Kiowa haircut tradition demonstrates how military necessity can become cultural identity. What began as a functional solution to a very real problem in mounted archery evolved into a tribal marker so recognizable that it was encoded into Plains Sign Language and painted by major American artists. This shows how adaptive innovations in warrior societies spread beyond their original purpose, shaping communication systems, artistic representation, and intertribal relations across the entire Plains region. #archaeohistories

@AntonioS717454 @archeohistories Guaranteed on every post these days there has to be an extremely hateful maga Trump maggot spreading hate and filth. I guess on this post that person is you. Trump has trained you well in the art of hate. So sorry you are not Christian, hope maga serves you well in front of Jesus

In 1820s, the island of Tasmania—then called Van Diemen’s Land—was the site of violent conflict between British colonists and the island’s Aboriginal peoples. Settlers expanded farms and grazing land, often through force. Aboriginal communities were driven from their territories, attacked, and displaced. In this brutal environment, one woman emerged as a resistance leader: Tarenorerer. She was a young Aboriginal woman from north-west Tasmania. As colonial violence intensified during what is now known as the Black War, she adapted in ways that surprised and alarmed British authorities. Unlike many Indigenous fighters who relied on traditional weapons, Tarenorerer learned to use a musket—likely taken from settlers or soldiers. She did not simply use firearms herself. She trained others. According to historical accounts, she organized small groups and taught them how to handle guns effectively. She studied settler routines, patrol movements, and supply routes. Instead of direct confrontation, her forces used mobility and knowledge of the land to launch sudden raids on isolated farms. Livestock were seized, buildings burned, and supplies taken. British colonists were shaken. They had expected scattered resistance. Instead, they faced coordinated attacks. Colonial records from the mid-1820s describe her as dangerous and highly capable. A reward was reportedly offered for her capture. Her leadership challenged two colonial assumptions at once: that Aboriginal resistance was disorganized and that women would not lead military action. For the British, this was deeply unsettling. For Aboriginal communities under threat, it was a strategy for survival. The Black War (roughly 1820–1832) was not a minor frontier disturbance. It was a sustained and violent conflict that dramatically reduced the Aboriginal population of Tasmania through killings, forced removals, and disease. In response to Aboriginal resistance, colonial authorities organized large military operations, including the 1830 “Black Line,” an attempt to sweep the island and capture remaining Indigenous people. Tarenorerer’s campaign took place within this larger struggle. Eventually, she was captured—not in open battle, but through pursuit and colonial control measures. Like many other Tasmanian Aboriginal people, she was removed to Flinders Island as part of the British relocation policy. The government claimed it was for protection. In reality, it isolated survivors from their land, culture, and resources. On Flinders Island, conditions were harsh. Disease and despair spread quickly among the relocated communities. Tarenorerer died there in 1831. She was still young. For decades, her story was recorded only in colonial documents, often distorted or minimized. But modern historians and Aboriginal communities have reclaimed her legacy. Today, she is recognized as one of the most significant leaders of Aboriginal resistance in Tasmania. Her actions show that Indigenous resistance was organized, strategic, and determined. They also challenge stereotypes about gender roles in early colonial history. Tarenorerer was not a passive figure in a story of conquest. She was a commander who adapted to new weapons, trained others, and used strategy against a global empire. The British Empire described her as a threat. From another perspective, she was defending her homeland. Her life reflects a larger truth about the Black War: Aboriginal Tasmanians did not disappear quietly. They resisted, adapted, and fought to survive. Tarenorerer’s story is no longer a footnote. It is part of the history of Australia—a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming force, resistance was real, organized, and often led by those colonial powers least expected. © Vintage Facts #archaeohistories

@fasc1nate People on this thread are so hateful. You are why people like him who have mental illness as he did, do what he did and kill him self with drug overdoses or some other method. You call a MEDICAL CONDITION 1 in 5 Americans and many others worldwide SUFFER from a childish tantrum.

"The photograph of Kurt Cobain in tears has been extensively published. Tilton watched Cobain smash his guitar through an amplifier and walk offstage. He followed him backstage. The pent-up emotion 'just had to go somewhere,' says Tilton, and Cobain burst into tears. 'What I really love about it is that it is a very real moment, and he allowed it. Other artists would have said, 'Not now, lan, please!' It is very unusual," adds Tilton, "for anyone from a band to show such vulnerability!" Look at more amazing historical photos: bit.ly/44OpIzi

@washingtonpost I have no problem with girls in scouts with boys, boys need to learn to respect girls as being equal to them, belonging in the same places as them, understanding that girls are just as capable as boys. It doesn’t emasculate boys it makes them more of a man when they grow up.

Breaking news: The Pentagon issued a warning to Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts, saying the organization risks losing its long-standing partnership with the U.S. military unless it rapidly implements “core value reforms.” wapo.st/4teMc6z

@washingtonpost Lemme guess, align with MAGA ideology to become their version of the Hitler Youth.
