WTG Concord. With 💙 from your neighbors in Portsmouth. We got this!

8.1M! What a show of positive determination to the world. Our town & all the marches were peaceful, exhilarating, and a wonderful patriotic display of "Nope, we are NOT letting up." Might be time to flip your distress flag image to full staff.

Lest we forget, Pres Felon also pardoned the Jan 6 violent insurrectionists. The pattern is obvious.

So even making light of the Kirk event can direct 'appropriate action' but the Jan 6 insurrections can dangle a noose & scream hang Mike Pence -- and they get pardoned.

Seacoast area of ME & Portsmouth NH had thousands show up. Both sides of streets were lined up to noisily cheer as cars drove by. Many folks hit shops & restaurants after, myself included. A couple cops commented the crowds just calmly dissipated at 3p. "Yep, as always. We're a peaceful bunch."

Vance, on Pritzker: "But I certainly think that he has violated his fundamental oath of office. That seems pretty criminal to me." Wow. Did he just say violating an oath of office is a crime? Look in the mirror bub.

Love you! Glad I found you on bluesky.

I'm beyond thrilled when looking at this map. I get a catch in my throat (like when hearing the Star Spangled Banner sung) knowing there are so many like-minded people anxious to SHOW UP and remind the US & the world, that We the People indeed care deeply about freedom & democracy.

Actually, I'm even more disgusted by the companies and non-govs that capitulated. Associated Press: Thank You!

peaceb2u.bsky.social @peaceb2u.bsky.social · 9d

I continue to be thoroughly disgusted by the complete disregard this person (I can't say his name) has for our constitution, the first amendment, and his blatant disregard for the oath of office he swore to, hand on bible (obviously that also means nothing). Thank you @rcfp.org & @apnews.com

Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press @rcfp.org · 12d

"The issue before us now is whether America can continue to exhibit that brand of leadership under a president who doesn’t appear to attach much weight to either international cooperation or democratic values. The answer matters because, although nature abhors a vacuum, Fascism welcomes one."

peaceb2u.bsky.social @peaceb2u.bsky.social · 11d

"Though the United States has made many mistakes in its eventful history, it has retained the ability to mobilize others because of its commitment to lead in the direction most want to go—toward liberty, justice, and peace.”

The great Madam Secretary proved prophetic regarding the president. "He conceives of the world as a battlefield in which every country is intent on dominating every other."
