On this 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride, I keep thinking of a few lines from the last stanza of Longfellow’s poem:

“And so through the night went his cry of alarm…
A cry of defiance and not of fear…”

“In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear…”

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

NC, you know what to do. Tillis puts his own political fortunes ahead of the safety and security of the armed services and the American people. An utter disgrace.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.

What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?
You guys need to see this and take it in…

Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

HEY. NOW HEAR THIS: The armed forces of the USA have an OBLIGATION TO DISOBEY & REFUSE UNLAWFUL ORDERS.

50% of the forces will refuse to carry out crazy orders like shoot civilians.

Call Hegsmeth what he is … Secretary of Unqualified Drunk, Rapist Fratboys.
Give him no respect.
Laugh.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)
