73 years ago today, Eisenhower appointed Earl Warren Chief Justice. His Court delivered Brown v. Board, Gideon v. Wainwright, Miranda, and Loving v. Virginia — expanding equal justice under law. That fight continues today. Cowley County Democrats remain committed to carrying it forward.

On Sept 23, 1780, Major John André was captured, exposing Benedict Arnold's plot to betray West Point. Ordinary militiamen stopped him—not generals. 246 years later: democracy is protected by engaged citizens, not blind trust in power. #OnThisDay #StayEngaged #HaveAPlanToVote

Sept 3, 1944: 15-year-old Anne Frank was sent from Westerbork to Auschwitz. She died months later at Bergen-Belsen. "Never again" isn't just a phrase — it's a commitment. Cowley County Democrats stand against antisemitism, bigotry, and the hatred that fuels atrocities. #NeverAgain

On 8/31/1910, Teddy Roosevelt delivered his "New Nationalism" speech in Osawatomie, KS — calling for reining in corporate power & serving "the welfare of the people." Those ideas became Democratic pillars through the New Deal & still resonate today. History from right here in Kansas. 📜

71 years ago today, 14-year-old Emmett Till was murdered in Mississippi — a killing that helped spark the civil rights movement. His memory fuels our ongoing fight for voting rights & justice. Rest in power, Emmett Till. 🕊️ #EmmettTill #CivilRights

Rest in peace, Dolly Parton 💛 A country music legend who never forgot where she came from — she sent free books to kids every month, gave generously to her community, and treated everyone with dignity. Taking care of your neighbors isn't partisan. It's just who you choose to be.

Aug 18, 1920: Tennessee ratified the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote after more than 70 years of fighting for it. They fought for full ballot access for decades more. 106 years later, we honor that legacy by protecting the vote today. 🗳️💜 #19thAmendment

Our hearts are broken for Winfield. We grieve with the family, friends, and neighbors of Kelly George and her four children, and we're reminded how vital domestic violence and child welfare resources are. If you're struggling, 988 is there 24/7. 💙

On Aug 10, 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in as only the 2nd woman on the Supreme Court. "Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." 33 years later, her legacy still guides us. ⚖️ #RBG #OnThisDay

On Aug 7, 1953, Eisenhower signed the Refugee Relief Act, welcoming 200,000+ refugees post-WWII: "This action demonstrates again America's traditional concern for the homeless, the persecuted, and the less fortunate of other lands." A tradition worth remembering. #OnThisDay

On Aug 7, 1782, George Washington created the Badge of Military Merit — open to soldiers of any rank, honoring gallantry & service. Revived in 1932 as the Purple Heart. 244 years later, we honor Cowley County's veterans & Gold Star families.💜 #PurpleHeart

61 years ago today, LBJ signed the Voting Rights Act — won by the blood and sacrifice of Selma marchers. Since then: Shelby Co. v. Holder (2013), Brnovich (2021), and now Louisiana v. Callais have gutted its protections piece by piece. The fight isn't over. Join us in Cowley County. 🗳️ #VRA61

Happy 250th, America. 🇺🇸 In 1776, 56 delegates signed a promise: power comes from the people. It took a civil war, a suffrage and civil rights movement, to start keeping it. With the VRA gutted and district lines redrawn to silence rural voters. The promise isn't finished it's ours to keep.

On this day in 1857, Dred Scott walked out of a St. Louis courtroom free — 3 months after SCOTUS said he had no rights at all. Freedom on paper has never been enough. That fight continues today. ✊🏿 #DredScott #CivilRights

Wichita’s Rosie the Riveter, Connie Palacioz passed away at 101 on April 19th. Her generation won WWII, came home, and built the unions, the middle class and Social Security. The GOP is destroying everything those women built and loves to remember WWII. Not on our watch. Rest in power, Connie.🕊️
