Boo-ed off the stage was too good for those lying scumbags! Tar, feathers and a ride on a rail out of townβΌοΈπ€¨
I've SEEN enough !!!

trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Rule of Law!
TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED !!!

That teacher is my great friend and bandmate Michael Dickerson @sonofrockhound.bsky.social
Couldnβt be prouder! (Our band is named Yankee Holler for anyone wondering).
As a former high school Government and Constitutional Law teacher, I am crying at this!!!!!!!!! AMEN to my fellow teacher and teachers! Once a teacher, ALWAYS A TEACHER. We know what the stakes are. We have seen our kids get harmed by the system over and over again when our gov't wasn't this bad.
Here's my action item, folx! Do what you can of this. It would be SEISMIC. It doesn't require getting into the streets, if you're afraid. It doesn't require getting arrested, if you're afraid. It's okay to be afraid. AND, we have to be brave. Join me. Repost. Share.
Followed you both and reposted.
We all need to come together in DC as he suggested.
Our numbers will scare them away like rats exposed to light.
My hat's off to your courageous friend!
We must #STOP_Dark_MAGA NOW!
AND Support #3E #EndOligarchy #GregPalast -voter supression findings!
I will. Better yet, give him a follow. I know heβll have plenty more to say in the challenging and critical days ahead where we need to forcibly demonstrate to those working to destroy our republic- we wonβt stand by idly or quietly!
Wow! Look at his posts! Heβs taking off from teaching to actually go and yes, get in good trouble! I mean, not every superhero wears a cape. This manβ¦πππͺππππππ
Just followed your teacher. What a remarkable and inspiring man. His speech is the type of thing you show your kids as an example of who you should be.
Ty for using your platform to share this! The message is a reminder that We the People hold enormous power when galvanized and led with purpose! Despite enormous obstacles we will prevail!
Ty. Weβre with you as you hold elections in Germany. I hope your voters continue to make the right choices and be the leader Europe and the world needs right now. (Weβve obviously abdicated that role in the short term.)
He is my hero. Iβm a former teacher(Scotia) and I can tell he has the students looking up to him with admiration because we all sure do. Name the place Michael Dickerson. We will all be there with you. πͺπ½
Itβs a little complicated because we play as a full electric rock band in which Mike sings and also a lot of 2-3 piece acoustic gigs which Mike doesnβt always play. We play out in Saratoga pretty frequently. Artisnal and Dancing Grain brewery are two of our favorites that we play at regularly.
Thatβs very kind of you! We have several albums available to stream on Spotify and Apple Music (Yankee Holler) I hope people will give us a listen. In addition to a gifted speaker, Mike is one hell of a singer! Thanks so much for the support π!
We support the hell out you Canada. Many of my descendants hail from Quebec. Canadians, on the whole, are some of kindest, progressive minded people Iβve ever encountered. It felt odd rooting for your hockey team to win last night. But it context of recent events, it felt quite right.
And sure enough, he's a social studies teacher. I am so moved and reminded of the honors social studies teacher I had back in 2005. He told me I would be someone who stood and fought if fascism were to rise again. I've no idea how he saw that in me, but I've been trying to live up to it ever since.
Oh god, me too. I just watched this and literally burst into tears at the end. There are so many people who are paying attention and standing up for our democracy. I feel so alone most of the time. π
Exactly! It came out of nowhere, just weeping uncontrollably. Yeah i think maybe Iβve been a bit stressed/enraged lately and needed to let it out π
I know he,like so many of us,have been feeling the despair of watching this administration act without regard for the rule of law or with any serious check by our democratic institutions.I think it was as cathartic for him as it is for us to hear him passionately call out our electeds to do more.
Tonko was the only politician who tried to set up a health registry for Fort McClellan veterans like myself who were exposed to a litany of toxic chemicals.
The VAβs website pretty much denies that we were harmed over that 80 year period. The people of Anniston Alabama couldnβt sue the army for all of the health problems that they incurred as a result of living and working on and around the base. They had to sue Monsanto. The ave person got $2200.
How can we share this clip. People need to see and hear what their fellow citizens are doing because the media is barely reporting the uprising that is happening.
You can screen record. Or share it by hitting the three buttons. Then share. Select the way you want to share. If you have messenger or text it to yourself and you can test it out that way.
Search for "The 3.5 percent Rule" - research shows if 3.5% of a population NON-VIOLENTLY resists, they almost always overthrow regimes.
That's 10 million of us, across the US.
I will not go quietly into the night. We will not be a dictatorship, EVER. And if we have to rewrite all the rules from the ground up even down to even what money is and destroy and replace the dollar in the process, down to redrawing all the lines...
The Power of Many Begins With the Power of ONE. BE THAT POWER. How many times do I need to say it to get it across? John Lewis understood the assignment. WE need to. This man is a HERO. Not all heroes wear capes. Now, LFG!

That means he's in charge of an army and air force of his own... So he wouldn't have to personally jump a fence

So proud of my fabulous neighbors! I will be in the fight with you!
Perfect mix of admiration and admonition. Just the thing our reps need to hear.
Well done.
Did he want it shared?

Glad he tried in 2021β¦
Get effective.
Become ungovernable.
Be strong and of good courage, #America: you are not alone.
Do not obey. The world needs you to #resist #Trump, #Musk, and their whole rotten regime.
Thank you, @sonofrockhound.bsky.social

WE. WILL. DO. IT.
I agree with you. But it's so sad that you need to be brave to tell the truth.
They are Not playing by the rules πΊπΈβπ»ππ»
