One year ago June 21 this sweet gentleman left the world as we know it - but his energy and presence is still strong. He set sail at Ebey’s Landing (on a raft with a tiny Bull Kelp, which he loved to play with).
Long live The Outlaw Gussie James. ❤️💔

Cambridge, MA is the birthplace of the #USArmy We honor the New Englanders who were the first to defend our American ideals & to sacrifice their lives for those ideals. Individuals are mortal but liberty, justice, learning, decency, and freedom are eternal.

Let #Boston once more be the beacon in the country’s hour of darkness and relight the rallying signal to protect our liberty.

One if by land, two if by D.C.
ON APRIL 18, 1775, PAUL REVERE raced from Boston to spread the warning that British troops would be threatening the countryside come morning. Two lanterns were hung in this steeple to communicate to nearby patriots where the threat was coming from; ONE if by LAND TWO if by SEA PAUL REVERE'S midnight message reverberated through the countryside and by the following day 4,000 patriots answered the call to PROTECT THE LIBERTY of their NEIGHBORS, their FAMILIES, and THEMSELVES in the first battle of the AMERICAN REVOLUTION, 250 years later, tyranny has returned. Let us honor the moral fortitude and bravery of Paul Revere and those 4,000 Massachusetts patriots and send forth the "cry of defiance and not fear." Let Boston once more be the BEACON in the country's hour of darkness and relight the rallying signal to protect our liberty. ONE IF BY LAND, TWO IF BY D.C.

In the 1770s the Intolerable Acts were economic threats intended to cripple us into submission. Once again we find ourselves faced with intolerable actions that threaten our prosperity, happiness and freedom. Boston wouldn’t stand for it then & we won’t now.

Here's the script, folks. It's now or never.

Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Local office numbers: www.congress.gov/members/find...

RTs appreciated.
My name is __. My zip code is __. I am calling as your constituent to express alarm at the Abrego Garcia case. Trump is openly defying the Supreme Court by not bringing Garcia back. If you allow Trump to do this, then he is unquestionably a dictator, and your job as my member of Congress is to remove him at once.

(For Reps:) I ask that you immediately introduce Articles of Impeachment in the US House, and block all other business until they are introduced.

(For Senators:) I ask that you block all business in the Senate until Articles of Impeachment are introduced in the US House, and when they pass the House I expect you to vote to impeach. Thank you.

Just fyi, If Trump tanks an economy that was on a good track because of his toddler like temper tantrums there will be hell to pay.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.
