til that along with Hitler's #brownshirts and Mussolini's #blackshirts, the US had #silvershirts : "an American fascist and pro-Nazi organization" founded in 1931 and dissolved after Pearl Harbor.
A big difference being the Silver Shirts never had official backing.

distinct from the 1878 act (being mentioned in today's TRO hearing), but **"Posse Comitatus"** has a long history in the PNW re: fascism.
The America First party already exists, you South African twit, as you bloody well know. #SilverShirts #NarziBastards
Morris is a proud America Firster! He aint no wimpy McConnellian "RINO!"
(Did you know that AF is an organization with a history in American politics?) #SilverLegion #SilverShirts #ChristianCommonwealth
Listening to #Ultra by #RachelMaddow and her team of amazeballs researchers. Scary AF! Also, sounds like what happened in the 30’s & 40’s it being replayed in today’s America. #Silvershirts are now #ICE and I’d bet a fair number of US house & senate members are on a #fascist payroll.
Nämä kaksi tuotantokautta kuunneltuani en hämmästy enää mistään.

![How Have Minnesota Workers Historically Resisted Fascism and Oppression?
Minnesota’s labor history includes three notable instances of organized resistance against oppressive forces:
**1. Teamsters Local 574’s Union Defense Guard (1938)**
In response to the pro-Nazi Silver Shirts’ rise in Minneapolis, Teamsters Local 574 formed a multi-union defense group led by Indigenous veteran Ray Rainbolt. The guard used intelligence networks and combat training to disrupt Silver Shirt activities, including foiling a speech by leader William Dudley Pelley, who fled the city after their intervention[1].
**2. Immigrant Women in the 1916 Iron Range Strike**
A spontaneous strike against U.S. Steel’s Oliver Mining Company saw immigrant women play a central role in resistance. Organized by the IWW, women defended parades from armed deputies, physically confronted guards denying water access, and faced media attacks for challenging gender norms. Despite the strike’s failure, their solidarity across ethnic lines highlighted militant opposition to corporate control[1].
**3. The People’s Pilgrimage (1937)**
Unemployed workers, organized as the People’s Lobby, occupied Minnesota’s Capitol overnight to demand unemployment aid from Governor Elmer Benson’s blocked relief package. The peaceful sit-in involved speeches and songs, drawing national attention but failing to pass the legislation amid Republican opposition[1].
These efforts underscore Minnesota’s legacy of cross-community labor organizing against fascist, corporate, and political threats.

We didn’t learn. This should have been taught. Those who don’t learn from history are forced to repeat it
