Thomas Paine really said: “No gunpowder? Fine. I’ll crowdsource the Revolution.” Bro was running an 18th-century Patreon, Substack, and DIY TikTok all at once — while drafting Common Sense. The multitasking is insane.

It was New England Radicals,
Enlightenment Slave holders,
An English wordsmith,
Infuriated farmers and
a geriatric Genius from Pennsylvania
who fought for and WON our Nation’s Freedom
If the Conservatives had won in 1783,
We'd be singing 'God Save the King',
Instead of 'The Star-Spangled Banner'

Franklin and Paine led the pro-democracy wing of the revolution but the slave owners wrote the constitution. It was highly imperfect but still a step forward. The pro-democracy proposals would have been truly revolutionary.

Yup, Paine was in the US military in different positions. A new book is coming out about his time in the war and we are having two talks by the author at our building. See here... thomaspaine.org/about/events

Paine and Franklin were best friends of 30 years. They were ideological brothers for democracy.
