β€˜And that is all anyone can do as we work to preserve the concept of human self-determination. In that heroic struggle, most of us will be lost to history, but we will, nonetheless, move the story forward, even if just a little bit.’

Remember, even though there were many British loyalists in South Carolina, there were also so many revolutionaries ready to stand up against a tyrannical king.

Seeing that some of the never Trumper’s are further left than the entirety of the Democratic establishment is making me laugh and realize how deeply fucked up the Democratic Party is at the national level.
Most of America is ready to rumble but Chuck Schumer would rather make deals with the fascists

To those protesting/rallying on 4/19: consider taking part of that time to call attention to this travesty by taking a seat in line with other protestors, your hands on the back of your head, for 10 minutes of silence. Sometimes speaking up can be done with silence.

Every day, it just gets worse. Now Elon’s staff is moving to hide their actions β€” by secretly using Starlink.
