It happened over 100 years ago, but the playbook should feel real familiar. 🧵1/

Wilson's #PalmerRaids from 1919 got a sequel on #ThisDayInHistory in 1920, when about 6,000 suspected #anarchists, #communists, #socialists, and #IWW members were arrested and held in gaol without trial. Over 500 were subsequently deported with little to no #DueProcess of law.

The #50thUSAG #AlexanderPalmer supported RAIDS on suspected Communist groups. A fear of dissent triggered #PalmerRaids; restricting #1stAmendment freedoms & civil liberties from 1919-20. In response, the ACLU was formed.

The First Red Scare (1917–1921):
• Speaking against WWI? Jail.
• Organizing workers? Beatings and raids.
• Immigrant? Deportation without trial.
Democracy was under assault by those who claimed to defend it.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1919, timed to fit the second anniversary of the #RussianRevolution, the #PalmerRaids began in the US. #FBI and #police arrested over 6000 #anarchists & #socialists, deporting hundreds of them without #DueProcess. Such events are precedent for Trump's ICE.

The original #PalmerRaids failed! Their extreme abuses galvanized dissent, spurring a public backlash & the birth of the @aclu.org We must support organizations like the ACLU, organize publicly, and insist the law targets illegal acts, not political associations.

September 5, 1917 - In 48 coordinated raids across the country, later known as the Palmer Raids, federal agents seized records, destroyed equipment and books, and arrested hundreds of activists involved with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), known fondly as the Wobblies.

On Jan 2nd, 1920: The second series of #PalmerRaids by the U.S. Justice Department ended with 3000+ people being arrested many without warrants, and many held without trial. They targeted those suspected of being 'radical leftists', 'communists', or 'anarchists'. Many immigrants were deported.

I say that in jest, of course. Anyone familiar with our history as a country would have no difficulty recalling times when a court order to obey the law would have been very helpful. Amazing, in fact, the judiciary is standing strong against Trump!

For two months in 1919, #anarchists targeted #AntiImmigration officials, but most bombs was non-lethal. Just two died, one of them an attempted bomber on #ThisDayInHistory, who died outside the home of #MitchellPalmer, the Attorney General, who responded with the #PalmerRaids.

it's true. Anti-liberal deportations and fascist governments here, on this land, are as American as apple pie
Did any of yall think Sen. Joe McCarthy was the FIRST TIME we tried to deport our own citizens so fascists could win elections?
Oh, honey.. Google the #PalmerRaids
You may wanna sit down.

Of all the bullshit positions, the one I loathe most is "yOu LiBz mAdE tEh fAsCiSmZ hAppEn" as if fascism is not a cyclical political phenomenon that always has behind it the same violent insecure inadequate men who yearn to dominate and those that support it have no agency or moral responsibility.
