Today in Labor History October 22, 1790: Chief Little Turtle led the Miami and Chief Blue Jacket led the Shawnee in the defeat of the US in the Harmar Campaign, a punitive expedition of the Northwest Indian War. It was the US’s worst defeat to date, surpassed only by the Battle of Little Bighorn. As a result, Little Turtle became an Indigenous hero. The campaign had come in response to increasing conflicts between the indigenous Shawnee and Miami people in modern Kentucky and Indiana, and European-American settlers who were stealing their land. In the previous 5 years, 1,500 of those settlers had been killed in these conflicts. The goal of the campaign was to destroy indigenous villages and settlements. The campaign failed. #workingclass #LaborHistory #indigenous #nativeamerican #shawnee #littlebighorn #genocide #racism #landback #miami image
Who benefits from the MAHA anti-science push? They correctly criticize the profit motives of Big Parma, but they dishonestly say it as if they're against profits, or as if they believe the profits corrupt the safety, yet that's exactly what they're doing with their promotion of raw milk and supplements.
