On #ThisDayInHistory in 1832, #SouthCarolina issued laws meant to nullify two federal tariffs within its borders, triggering the #NullificationCrisis. President #AndrewJackson responded by getting a Force Bill passed to use troops. The matter was not settled until the #CivilWar.

![The image is a black and white photograph capturing the iconic silhouette of an equestrian statue, likely representing General Andrew Jackson or another prominent figure from American history. The statue stands atop what appears to be a pedestal with railings in front of it, which could suggest that this scene takes place near his tomb on top of Lookout Mountain at Fort Donelson.
In the background, fireworks burst dramatically into the night sky above and around the statue's head, creating an impressive display of light. The contrast between the dark foreground and the bright illumination from the fireworks adds a dynamic element to the composition. Surrounding trees are faintly visible in silhouette against the lit-up backdrop, enhancing the overall dramatic effect.
The photograph appears to be taken during nighttime festivities or celebrations near Jackson's statue, which was likely situated outdoors with an open view of the sky for such displays. The use of black and white film indicates that this photo could date back several decades from its creation; it captures a historical moment and highlights both the enduring significance of American monuments as well as their role in cultural events like fireworks shows.
Horydczak, approximately 1890-1971, is credited with taking this photograph.

For reasons such as these, critics, satirists, and cartoonists have long known that one of the greatest insults they can throw at a US President is to compare him to a king. Depicting them with a crown on their head concisely conveys that they are abusing their power, are unfit for office, have delusions of grandeur, and are inherently un-American.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1830, president #AndrewJackson signed the #IndianRemovalAct into law, calling for genocidal #EthnicCleansing of the South. It was shut down by the #SupremeCourt, but his administration ignored the ruling, setting important precedent for dictatorial acts.

#trump believes in #manifestdestiny the delusion that you can fund the Federal Gov through #tariffs and hanging your political opponents, it really isn’t much more complicated than that. He’s a throwback to early 19th C America, including all the social attitudes.
Want to understand #Trumpism? Read a good biography of #andrewjackson something like Meacham’s American Lion.
To understand #trump, what passes for #trumpism and its approach to #tariffs then start with #AndrewJackson. This isn’t about #FreeTrade or #TradeDeals, it’s about raising revenue. #Trump’s entire mindset is early 19th Century #America. I’d also recommend reading ‘Old Friends, New Enemies’ by the US historian Arthur Marder for some historical rhyming. #thingswillgetworse.
Yes, I know that history is not the history of "Great Men", the triviality of anecdote, the importance of structure and social forces over time....but I do wish that officer had beaten the young Andrew Jackson into an insensible pulp.
Trump has had Jackson's portrait hung in the Oval Office.
Over the past month and a half, I've encountered a lot of Very Serious PeopleTM in my life, and on my TV, who seem to think that the best way to counteract Trump's fascist regime as it tears everything apart and starts trying to disappear political prisoners, is to "not take the bait" and wait for the courts to handle it. "We are still a nation of laws" these folks have assured me, even though I've spent the past four decades watching US presidents break the law in ways that are more acceptable to Pig Empire society than Trump does. Throughout that time, my question has always been "well what are you gonna do when he just ignores the law? I mean it's not like you can send the local sheriff to evict him from the White House, and the GOP is extremely unlikely to help their inept opposition to impeach him." To the degree that I've been able to actually ask that question in person, I have yet to receive a reasonable reply; which is unfortunate, because completely ignoring the courts appears to be precisely what Downmarket Mussolini and his merry gang of shitposting nazi freaks are doing:
Trump Officials Are Pretending A Judge Didn't Bar His Anti-Diversity Orders
"In at least one case, the senior executive says, a U.S. official told the international organization that they knew about the court injunction and what it meant, but that the senior ranks of the Trump administration had explicitly instructed staff to enforce Trump’s executive orders, to ignore the court’s injunction, and to pressure partner organizations if need be. This official also said that if the nonprofit’s leaders didn’t sign the new paperwork, they’d risk having their funding quickly terminated by the Trump administration, per the senior executive.
“The Trump administration is daring the courts in the United States to do something about this, and thus far, I don’t think most people in America understand that what’s at risk is the fundamental basis that there is fairness and justice and rule of law in the United States,” says the senior executive. “And whatever you think of DEI, we should all agree that running the government based on the rule of law is a requirement. The playbook that is being used in the U.S. is not new; we’ve seen it in country after country where there’s been an increase in authoritarianism. To see it in the modern United States itself is what’s new and disturbing.”
The other two sources, one of whom is a Trump appointee, tell Rolling Stone that the directive to comply with Trump’s DEI orders, despite what the judge said, has gone out to an array of nonprofit organizations and partners around the world."
This is kind of a messy article that spends a lot of words going over the timeline of the Trump administration's attempts to play dumb about what the judge's injunction actually blocks in terms of Trump's anti-diversity executive orders, but the key takeaway isn't that complex. Trump has knowingly, and directly ordered his administration to ignore the injunction and continue enforcing his anti-diversity orders both inside the government and towards outside contractors and partners. This is not speculative, several sources *inside* the Trump administration have confirmed that the regime knows what the injunction means, and government employees are being ordered to simply ignore the ruling. Borrowing a page from noted genocidal racist U.S. president Andrew Jackson, Trump has effectively declared "Adam Abelson has made his decision; now let him enforce it."
Should this come as a surprise to anyone in the American establishment "opposition?" Well, probably not, because as the article notes Trump and his minions have more or less been actively broadcasting their intentions to ignore court orders designed to block their fascist agenda:
"The episode is part of a broader pattern in which the second Trump administration has operated under the impression that judges’ orders and rulings don’t much matter. Vice President J.D. Vance has publicly argued that Trump can ignore judges’ orders, asserting: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” Trump, for his part, has threatened to “look at” judges who rule against Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Over Presidents Day weekend, Trump admitted he thinks he can break any law he wants to — so long as he can loosely define doing so as part of his mission to “save” the country."
Folks, like I've been telling you for a while, the cavalry ain't coming. If a GOP-controlled government won't impeach him, and the regime won't obey court orders, nothing short of an uprising is stopping these nazis anytime soon; no matter HOW much that scares an "opposition" establishment that hates people power.
