You dumbasses need to think really careful about posting right about now, I am not kidding. Openly talking about certain actions on a public social media site is simply a bad idea. I've done it, I've regretted it. Don't post fed-magnets.

I'm near my permanent departure point, so with no ramifications to speak of I freely give voice to my perspective (largely, outraged call to action). How did our colonist forebearers, our anti-slavers, our labor organizers, our civil rights activists raise the flag and rally themselves?
My family history includes a situation where it mattered that not only did they talk in person and not only did they plan inside with no strangers, but they picked the side of the room away from the windows. I might not *exist* if they'd been as open as people now.
I can see from your family's history that I have led by comparison a very secure free life. Though I did marry someone diagnosed with a schizoid condition with whom we had a son prone to psychosis. I guess the thing to say is that if we can speak out safely enough, we should.
There was an actual Liberty Tree. It was across the street from Sam Adams's brewery. They stuck a flag in it to signal when there was going to be a meeting.
The museum in the old state house has the flag.
The tree didn't make it to see 1776. The British figured it out and put an axe to it first.
It's wild how many people will make veiled violent threats on social media.
That shit didn't fly when we DIDN'T have an authoritarian psychopath black bagging people and flying them to Sudan, I don't know what anyone thought changed.
