today is the 161st anniversary of pickett’s charge, when 12,000 confederates marched across 3/4 of a mile of open land, directly into constant rifle and artillery fire. half the confederates were killed, wounded, or captured in the slaughter, a turning point in the battle of gettysburg and the war
I think we could all use a bit of pick-me-up right about now, so seeing as it's July 3rd, why don't we once again reflect on one of the greatest white supremacist self-owns in military history:
The state of Minnesota still has a Virginia confederate battle flag from Gettysburg. Virginia asks for it back from time to time and Mn says to fuck off - winners keepers.
Ventura was much more animated about it. Anyway - it still sits locked away in Minnesota.
