    FyI the picture of the suffragettes and the sign "Lips that touch liquor shall not touch ours" is most likely satirical.

    I've seen it in many places, with a lot of different, contradictory claims. Often, websites claim one of the women is Carrie Nation, but they never agree which woman is Nation, and they never have a source.

    According to the Thomas Edison National Historic Park Archives, this is a still from an Edison motion picture produced around 1910. They do not know the title of this film.

    I didn't read the article and I'm sure nothing said was worth engaging. Fascists mistaking satire for reality is par for the course. In 100 years, reactionary propaganda hasn't changed one bit.
