Dear Sir, Noooooo! I wanna get the hell out of here. I need a ticket to ride. And what you just educated us with, I'll even do dishes & clean floors; cooking is out, but I'll do the pots & pans.

I used to live in Newton Center. One of my favorite bicycle rides was to the battlefield.

Thank you for highlighting this. Hopefully we don't end up down the same path

Keep hammering them with the facts! Truth must win over lies!

I see what you did there . It theoretically could happen again .

As 1776 restarting moves nearer, these posts are increasingly valuable to remind pro-democracy Americans their inalienable right and what to do when they are infringed beyond peaceful resolution

Wherever he was standing, there were 273 Tories who couldn't really argue with our tactics!

Imagine a country fighting against tyranny only to now have half the population supporting a tyrannical government.

Maybe Massachusetts should be writing its own Declaration of Independence, 2025.

It was treason, but no hard feelings. You can come back if you apologise.

These colonists didn’t like tariffs and also didn’t want a king. I think at our foundation, most of us are discovering we still feel the same way now.

I am a bostonian, and I have to tell you all deep down that we are in the same situation but are worse off than back then, and we need to accept this and stop pretending like we are not and get on the same page and fight back or let them do what they want and accept the new reality.

People fought for democracy.

Today, unfortunately, not so many people care about democracy, and would just give it away.

garyrc1453.bsky.social•15 days ago

Imagine their outrage over a tyrant deliberately tanking the economy. He’d be tarred and feathered.

I was happy to know you also were a wrestler.

"Those that fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it"... Or something like that. Though right now it seems as though, "Those *unwilling* to learn from the past"
