The path to #HarryTruman's #AtomicDiplomacy (a nuclear threat to ensure compliance) winds through proposals like the #AchesonLilienthalReport, released on #ThisDayInHistory in 1946, and calling for a ban on #NuclearWeapons. The idea slowly withered under US and Soviet paranoia.
I enjoyed it so much, it was a great time! Thank you very much ✨

Screencap redraw of Twin Peaks
Collaboration with @jaarrouge.bsky.social !! 🌟
I can't believe how well our painting has come together! It looks so good :) We're both big fans of Twin Peaks and thought it would be a cool idea to redraw a screencap from the show
Thank you for drawing with me 🐌

#HarryTruman claimed “TheBuckStopsHere.” In 1947, he issued Executive Order 9835, a loyalty program targeting communists & #queers, who could no longer work in the military or federal government or for its contactors. Perfection of political doubletalk. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com
DYK Republican Senator #EverettDirksen in 1954 said it was “no picnic” to have to purge #gays & #lesbians out of the military? But he joined #JoeMcCarthy, #DwightEisenhower, & #HarryTruman to stamp out early 20thC acceptance of queers. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #QueerHistory
DYK #HarryTruman & #DwightEisenhower dragged #queers out of the closet w/blue dishonorable discharges & making it illegal for gays & lesbians to serve in the military or the federal government or work for its contractors? HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #QueerHistory

Nattily dressed, #HarryTruman is very happy no president after him, until #BillClinton, revoked his executive order keeping #gays & #lesbians from serving in the military or working for the federal government or its contractors. Nasty guy.

I often wonder what if #NikitaKhrushchev and #HarryTruman had overlapped? They were not at all the type of characters that preceded and succeeded them. If not for the #DullesBrothers the #FirstColdWar of 1945-1970 might not have escalated past #KoreanWar.
#SpaceRace beats war.

The idea of sex hoodlums, hanging around schools w/comic books & bubble gum to lure their victims, filled lots of parents w/a stark new terror. Ghosts of #QueerHistory still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #DwightEisenhower, #JEdgarHoover #RoyKohn #LavenderMenace #HarryTruman
DYK #HarryTruman condemned the #queer soldiers & sailors who helped win World WarII? In 1947, he signed Executive Order 9835, a loyalty program making it illegal for "perverts" to serve in the military or work for the federal government or its contractors. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com
#DonaldTrump could not take no from over two dozen women who told him #HellNo, and he couldn't take a #No from the 60,000 people of #Greenland. Donald, learn to say no, sheesh, you are almost 80, you should have learned that lesson back in the #HarryTruman administration.
DYK the 1952 APA named #homosexuality a mental disorder on the heels of executive orders by #HarryTruman & #DwightEisenhower, which threw #queers out of federal government & jobs w/federal contractors. More politics & religion than science! HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #QueerHistory
The #queer community came together for its ill, & its demonstration of love & care overwhelmed the #homophobia that had plagued the U.S. since the lavender scare engineered by #HarryTruman & #DwightEisenhower following WorldWar II. #GayMarriage #QueerHistory
President Harry S. Truman signed the North Atlantic Treaty Proclamation in the Oval Office on August 24, 1949
#PresidentTruman #HarryTruman #NATO
DYK Presidents #HarryTruman & #DwightEisenhower borrowed #homophobia from #Christianity & made it national policy by demanding it in the military, civil service, & w/federal contractors? The #GOP has made it a party line ever since.

Pensions for ex-presidents started in 1958 because Harry Truman had no income other than his meagre army pension of $112.56 ($1,350 in today's money) per month.

#HarryTruman died #OnThisDay in 1972; he did some great things such as desegregating the military but some truly terrible things as well, including dropping bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki, creating the national security state & recognizing #ApartheidIsrael...

#HarryTruman's arrogant #AtomicDiplomacy pushed the Soviets to develop #nuclear power, and weapons, as quickly as possible. Their first self-sustaining reaction began #ThisDayInHistory in 1946 in the F-1 research reactor in #Moscow, which broke records by operating for 70 years.
DYK many #CrossDressers, #DragQueens, #transvestites & #transwomen refused to feel shame during police raids? How did prejudice & stigma against #LGBT people begin? Ghosts of #HistSex haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #JoeMcCarthy #DwightEisenhower #HarryTruman #QueerHistory #Weegee
President #HarryTruman on #ThisDayInHistory in 1945 issued an #ExecutiveOrder granting priority in #asylum applications to #WWII refugees. Crucially, though, the national-origin quotas remained in effect, and arguably more German #fascists received asylum than victims of #Nazism.
.@andreaskluth namechecks #PaulCezanne, #HarryTruman, #PabloPicasso, #MeriwetherLewis, #EleanorRoosevelt & others as he tries to understand why a 2nd century BCE general did what he did & what it means for you. We review #HannibalAndMe: the-agency-review.com/hannibal-and... @riverheadbooks
Both have. They want the promised #internationallaw of 1945-48, the thing #HarryTruman promised with the big stick of The Bomb.
Instead they got " #RulesBasedOrder", a sick criminal #Clintonite #Blairite #Kahanite #Banderite failed abortion that genocides it's 13th century #Crusades onto the map.
Good morning! Having some coffee from Harry Truman's mug before returning home today (RR mug was in front of the coffee machine before I got there)
