Best wishes to our #BurlingtonVT neighbors at the #HandsOff rally in front of Burlington City Hall.

Hey, we're part of the crowd!

The recently formed "Save #Democracy" group sponsored meeting at Palace Theater allowing #Bricklyn citizens to weigh in on upcoming referendum on a four-year agreement that would associate Bricklyn with both the nations of #France and #Denmark #LEGO bricklynvt.com/2025/03/30/s...

Looking back at last year's dramatic Inland Sports League #basketball championship game where #Bricklyn University’s “BRU Crew” stunned arch-rival Brickover U's “Big Red Squad” with last second three pointer. See our dramatic photos and interviews. bricklynvt.com/2024/03/23/b... #MarchMadness #Lego

In a stunning development, negotiations between #Bricklyn, VT, #Denmark, and #France have resulted in a historic agreement. Half of Bricklyn will join the French Republic, the other half will become part of the Danish Realm. For details: bricklynvt.com/2025/03/17/b... #Lego #Vermont

Thanks for posting. #Bricklyn VT - despite its Danish origins - is home to a large number of Francophiles. Read our recent interview with the co-presidents of the Bricklyn Chpt. of the #AllianceFrançaise -- bricklynvt.com/a-chapter-of... (English) or bricklynvt.com/2025/02/11/u... ( #French) #Lego

Love Homer Simpsons' take on this. Open the post to see the cartoon -- and also read the news report by "William Boot" under Graff's name.

To be clear, “Vance skis in jeans” is Vermont’s highest insult. This is Final Boss Nuclear Insult level in the Vermont linguistic hierarchy.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

5/ French Minister of the #Outre-mer Manuel Valls seeks assurances that #Bricklyn will strengthen its ties with the five Lego realms located within Metropolitan France & advocate for their membership in League of Inland Cities, headquartered in Bricklyn. bricklynvt.com/2025/02/23/h...

4/ Bricklyn Sec'y of Outland Affairs Guillaume de Bricklain has been sounding out Manuel Valls on the level of assistance France could provide #Bricklyn, and whether Bricklyn would be integrated within the #Outre-mer as a “collectivity” or as a “department” of France. bricklynvt.com/2025/02/23/h...

3/ One French ministry staffer told us “It would be welcome news to have a territory that seeks to preserve and strengthen its liberty [join] the French Republic [and] it would be pleasant to tell [Trump] that a part of the U.S. is now French territory!” #Outre-mer bricklynvt.com/2025/02/23/h...

2/ If #Bricklyn were to become part of Overseas France, it would be only the second sliver of the former colonial-era expanse of “New France” to be part of today’s France, joining the small island territories of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. #Outre-mer bricklynvt.com/2025/02/23/h...

1/ What seemed like an outlandish fantasy just a few weeks ago — the transformation of #Bricklyn, VT from an independent #LEGO realm into a French overseas territory — has taken a serious turn as officials from both Bricklyn & France have been meeting. #Outre-mer bricklynvt.com/2025/02/23/h...

The disrespect has been shocking but this is now full on contempt. All it takes is 3 Republicans to join us and leave behind the silence and complicity. We must call out Musk on his harassment of the civil servants who keep our country running. Keep the pressure on.

High-speed rail line with 300 km/h trains will run between Toronto and Quebec City, Trudeau announces. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... This will complement Bricklyn's next generation Brickstar trains, which will race between #Bricklyn, VT and Montbrick, Quebec! bricklynvt.com/2024/02/07/a... #Lego #HSR

An Alliance Française Chapter Grows in Bricklyn: Bricklyn’s founders are of Danish origin. So, it’s surprising to find out that there is a strong and growing chapter of the Alliance Française in #Bricklyn. Read more! bricklynvt.com/a-chapter-of... #AFLCR #AllianceFrançaise #Lego #French

Un Chapitre de l’Alliance Française Croît à Bricklyn: Les fondateurs de Bricklyn sont d’origine danoise. Donc, c’est surprenant de découvrir qu’il y a un chapitre fort et grandissant de l’Alliance Française à #Bricklyn. En savoir plus! #AFLCR #AllianceFrançaise #Lego bricklynvt.com/2025/02/11/u...

The Realm of Bricklyn will evaluate whether this makes sense. For now, negotiations with Denmark continue, which could make Bricklyn a semi-autonomous enclave that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. A growing number of Bricklynites are advocating for this: bricklynvt.com/2024/12/09/b...

The Trump tax - in return for which you get absolutely nothing at all

Thanks for recognizing our value as homebuilders! "... Inside a cavernous factory ... in East Montpelier, houses get built piece by piece on an assembly line. Each of the homes starts off in one corner of the 100,000-square-foot shop as a series of humble 'Lego blocks' ..." #Bricklyn #Vermont #LEGO

Thank you for posting that alarming video! Fortunately, no one has spotted Godzilla-scale cats in our #Lego scale Realm of #Bricklyn, VT, but we're on the lookout for Godzilla-scale ICE police. bricklynvt.com/2024/12/09/b...

Don't forget: tomorrow is Bricklyn Founders Day! #Bricklyn #LEGO #LegoCity bricklynvt.com/2025/01/27/j...

Just read in @theatlantic.com Ellen Cushing's article, "Americans Need to Party More." www.theatlantic.com/family/archi... In #Bricklyn, VT, the whole community parties every Tuesday night with #Dancing in the Street. It's great fun & an easy way to socialize! bricklynvt.com/2024/02/16/d... #LEGO

#Bricklyn Rabbi Rachel Weinstein offers this from #Leviticus 19:33-34. “When strangers reside with you in your land, you shall not wrong them. [They] shall be to you as your citizens; you shall love each one as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.” bricklynvt.com/2024/02/25/p...

So far our reporters have not seen or heard of any reports of ICE activity in #Bricklyn, VT. Local officials also closely monitoring the situation. Over 50,000 Bricklynites at risk of deportation. Clearly, ICE agents will not be hard to miss in Bricklyn.

Seeing that bench in your before & after photos brought to mind our Realm's highly successful benches for businesses program: bricklynvt.com/2024/02/27/b... #Bricklyn #benches #placemaking

Support this terrific Lego idea: Grand Central Station. Be sure to scroll down and watch the short video; it's great! Then vote your support. We'd love to be able to build Grand Central Station on a site in #Bricklyn, VT #Lego #TrainStation #RailroadStation ideas.lego.com/projects/9ff...

A twist to U.S. talk of acquiring Greenland: Danish leaders said to be in discussions with officials from #Bricklyn, VT, over the Vermont-based .25 acre Lego enclave associating with the Kingdom of #Denmark. See bricklynvt.com/2024/12/09/b... and also see bricklynvt.com/2024/11/10/b...

There’s a good chance Trump will push for a show of force using immigration raids soon after taking power. Immigrants, allies, and protesters need to quickly get familiar with their rights and we all need to get emotionally and mentally prepared. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/get-ready-...

Federal Chancellor Mum on #Bricklyn Plans to Block Possible Mass #Deportations. bricklynvt.com/2025/01/19/f... This is an update to "Bricklyn Starts to Frame Response to Potential Threats from Incoming U.S. Administration" bricklynvt.com/2024/12/09/b... . Fears of mass #deportation. #LEGO

In light of U.S. efforts to ban #TikTok, in 2021 the Bricklyn Federal Council banned Facebrick (a #Facebook subsidiary) in #Bricklyn. See bricklynvt.com/2021/07/09/f... Also: When Bricklyn Pulled the Plug bricklynvt.com/2021/07/10/b... Facebrick remains banned to this day. Mixed opinions remain.

Very nice! Will share photo with Brick Rail staff. Question: can the train be equipped with a grass plow for the front of the engine?

The Northside neighborhood, a short walk from downtown #Bricklyn, VT, is a desirable place to live, with its relaxing, tree-filled square and well-designed housing. Musicians play to a gathering of Bricklynites. Northside is also home to The Bricklyn Eagle offices. #Lego #LegoCity BricklynVT.com

Would welcome connecting with anyone telling stories of Lego realms, or interested in use of Lego for telling stories. Fyi: The Bricklyn Eagle’s Walt Brickman won the 2023 Brickitzer Prize for Creative Writing. #storytelling #creativewriting #Bricklyn #Lego We’re at: BricklynVT.com

Hadn't heard of this. Very interesting & creative. Might work in a very hilly section of #Bricklyn! Last year a suspended #monorail based on Wuppertal, Germany monorail, began operating in South Bricklyn, Vermont. Info. on this #Lego designed system at: bricklynvt.com/2023/11/03/b...
