Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Time to pretend everything is normal and share a #painting. "Dublin Hippocampus" is a view I painted of my hometown because I never tire of looking at Grattan Bridge or sitting on it enjoying its sea-horse lamps as they look in opposite directions at Capel St and Paliament St. #SpeirGorm #Januarty

Asked Damar Hamlin about Cole Bishop’s play vs the #Ravens. Hamlin had plenty of praise for the rookie, but he also wanted to give Micah Hyde his flowers for getting Bishop ready.

Could the vet suit up vs. the #Chiefs next week if Taylor Rapp cannot go?

Bills’ Micah Hyde gets his flowers from Damar Hamlin following win over Ravens. Could veteran suit up vs Chiefs?
Hyde hasn't suited up for the Bills this season, but Damar Hamlin explained his importance to the team following Buffalo's 27-25 win over the Ravens.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Remember, if you live in Britain or Ireland, fir & spruce are not native. Planting them causes acid run off, acidifies the soil, kills native flora, degrades the soil, acidifies local water sources & reduces diversity. Ask you tree supplier to have Scots Pine trees in the future.

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
