Members of the Bonus Army (unpaid military veterans marching in Washington to demand payment) clash with members of police during the Great Depression, 1932

The way this whole photo is framed, I think, captures the whole sense of division really well

Tag yourself, I'm the airborne upside down police hat.

I like how the last set of photos shows her beating up a policeman.

The Women's Suffrage movement in the UK was hardcore. They were burning down homes of Members of Parliament and Lords of the House of Lords. When nobody was home so nobody got hurt, but still. They would judo flip a cop, get arrested, go on hunger strike in prison, be released because of the hunger strike, then go judo flip another cop while setting a mansion on fire.

To tie it in with that big WWI post, the movement lost steam during The Great War. Hunger strikes didn't garner sympathy when Our Boys were off dying in trenches.

At around the same time, Oxford undergraduates were experimenting with just how wide a trouser leg could be before the wearer becomes hopelessly entangled in flannel

They're JNCOs from the 1920s.

Pictures of immigrants at Ellis Island:

What country are you coming from?
Georgia.
Where will you be going?
Rome, Georgia.
You're a bit overdressed for there.

The whole battle comes to a halt just to pelt the poo poo outta him and send him back the way he came sans hat lmaoooo

I went to look up the history of the bicycle and his bike is a fairly modern design with equal sized wheels, a diamond-ish frame, and a chain driven rear wheel. In 1896 that design was less than 10 years old and the pneumatic tire was also less than 10 years old. I think they are pneumatic tires, it's hard to tell.
