They will not. They will make new countries.
#AbigailAdams foresaw this exact crisis.
And the previous one in which a new country was in fact made.
The difference being, there is no rational person who would want evil godlike powers in one man's hands again as now.
Or if so it must be Xi.
#America250 fact:
#1776Declaration #july4 #DeclarationOfIndependence declares no rights for women whatsoever!
In correspondence #AbigailAdams was told by #JohnAdams that "women get rights from their husbands"! She predicted this would #endAmerica.
To this day no #EqualRightsAmendment passed!

They were right. #JohnAdams was wrong.
His wife #AbigailAdams was more correct than either group though. She would be a Canadian long ago, divorced and happy...
Haha that's fun.
They should read #AbigailAdams on her predictions about how the racism and misogyny of the #FoundingFascists was sure to end in disaster. As it absolutely has.
They should look at a 1774 map and see where the mixed race indigenous/Catholics actually were & why they were targets.
Registration is open for the #performance of my one-woman play about #AbigailAdams, “Love & Politics in the #AmericanRevolution,” at #LindenPlace in Bristol, RI on July 19. I’m thrilled to share Abigail’s eloquent words and powerful story as part of their commemorations of the #semiquincentennial.

![The cover of Piecework Magazine Spring 2026 issue. It has the big PieceWork title on the top.
Below that it says "Celebrate American Needlework".
Other side text says: "Hidden Stories of Revolutionary Lacemakers" and "Piecing Together the History of Seminole Patchwork".
It shows some spools of thread around, a white one and two red ones. A blue woven shawl lays diagonally across the background.
On the shawl a beige pillow sits. It's a needlepoint rectangular work with a small colonial salmon colored house on the left. One story with 2 small windows on each side of a center entrance door. Three small dormer windows are visible in the brown roof above.
It says to the right of the house:
"To be Good
and
To do Good"

My blue Swedish lace pillow with my Ipswich lace in progress. It has dozens of wooden bobbins around the front, wrapped with black silk threads, with my lace in progress on the roller part of the pillow. You can see part of the pattern, and the rest is covered with the pins in the completed lace section. To the back is my completed yardage rolled around a little tiny holder. To the upper left is my decorated pin box with a colonial woman wearing a black shawl and a cyanotype of a sailing ship that was turned into a lace pricking. A banner on the front has the PieceWork cover I described in the other image, and it says "I'm in PieceWork".
I have an article coming out in the spring #Rev250 theme issue of PieceWork, about #IpswichLace + stories of women who made or used the lace.
Another article about #AbigailAdams has a needlepoint of her house + a phrase on it.

Women are explicitly left out of the #1776DeclarationOfIndependence #USconstitution and that is not a turn of phrase. #AbigailAdams and #JohnAdams have correspondence about it.
And some people are "property" in those documents. Arguably " #American" isn't an identity that such people should want.
On what would have been my mom's 76th birthday, I find myself thinking about mothers in presidential history. Abigail Adams in particular comes to mind. Learn more about this First Lady who was also the mother of a president. #history #FLOTUS #AbigailAdams www.presidenciespodcast.com/2095-abigail...
