"Do we have a plan, Dr. Holden?" - MoS key moments

[beguines]

Hatfield himself and a companion (unarmed and in the company of their wives) were gunned down and murdered by Baldwin-​Felts gunmen on August 1, 1921, on the steps of the McDowell County, West Virginia, courthouse, where they had arrived to answer a trumped-​up indictment. The gunmen were acquitted, claiming self-​defense, although this claim seemed preposterous. The murder of Hatfield, already a hero to the miners, enraged mining communities throughout the state.

Armed miners began to pour out of the mountains to end the police state that kept them from organizing in the two counties. By August 24, 1921, more than ten thousand armed miners in Charleston, the state capital, were preparing to march. Labor marches throughout Appalachia had a long history, much like earlier revival meetings. Workers and their families would often rally, listen to speeches, and march for days, agitating in large areas on behalf of unions. As mine owner violence worsened, the marches became armed. Corbin claims that a conservative estimate of the number of armed coal miners who took part in the eventual march was between fifteen and twenty thousand. The miners were well organized, led by hundreds of miners who were World War I veterans. They had commissary, food support, and hundreds of medical personnel to take care of the wounded, and above all they had weapons, including numerous large machine guns seized from coal mine supplies. Corresponding to their proportions among miners in the state, roughly 25% of the marchers were African-​American.

The main battle took place on Blair Mountain, where armed miners did battle with a private army led by Sheriff Don Chafin, the coal-​company-​financed dictator of Logan County. As the miners fought their way to Logan County, President Calvin Coolidge sent federal troops into West Virginia, allowing coal companies and their minions to destroy the union. Then–​UMWA vice president, Philip Murray, claimed that if the army had not intervened, the state would have been rid of the mine gunmen. This is by no means certain, as Shogan argues. What is certain, however, is that the arrival of federal troops ensured that the miners and their union would suffer a monumental defeat. By the end of the decade, union membership in the state, which had been many tens of thousands, had dwindled to the hundreds. The spirit and remembrance of Blair Mountain, however, was a factor in making West Virginia coal miners among the first workers to mobilize and organize in the early 1930s.

possibly the two biggest races in this year's election were the kentucky governor's race and the ohio abortion amendment race and I'm thrilled to announce that in both cases the democrat/abortion rights have won.

kentucky is a notoriously red state. ohio gets redder by the day. and yet.

But I don't live in a swing state?!

every 4 years I see people talking about how they live in a red state (or more rarely a blue state) so their vote doesn't matter and I just want to briefly point out that I think nearly every state is either a swing state for the Presidential election, having a key Senate Race that will decide control of the Senate, has one or more key House races that'll decide control of the House, or is having an important Governor's race that'll could flip control of the state

there are lots of local and state level races that are very important to, but my point was basically odds are very very good, you live somewhere where your vote will help decide what America looks like in 2025. Don't get tricked into thinking just because your state isn't one of the ones always mentioned in the news as a swing state that it doesn't matter what you do
