Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America
Kathleen Belew@jeffstone.bsky.socialblown away by Bring The War Home by @kathleen_belew. it’s an incredible history of how white power violence, driven by obfuscation and decentralized cells, became such a vicious source of domestic terrorism in the US. it also totally debunks the idea of “lone wolf” violence. https://t.co/YqD8ZHEt8j

Nathaniel Philbrick@jeffstone.bsky.socialreading Nathaniel Philbrick's The Last Stand and am amazed at how he undercuts historical propaganda to explain: - US troops *often* desecrated Native gravesites - Custer's army joked that Natives were "easy to rape" - Sitting Bull united warring tribes to capably fight back https://t.co/ESvxM7IxVW
