…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. And once in a great while, someone will light a lantern—or even two—that will shine forth for democratic principles that are under siege, and set the world ablaze.

Tonight I had the extraordinary privilege of speaking at the anniversary of the lighting of the lanterns in Boston’s Old North Church, which happened 250 years ago tonight.

Letters from an American

@Zardoz @freepatriot People want a new #CivilWar in the same way the like the #RevolutionaryWar. They appreciate the result, and would observe the carnage from a hilltop, but would never willingly participate, and would complain severely if they got swept up in it.

I think that many people think they want a #CivilWar, but very few people go into a war willingly and enthusiastically and then come out the other side still liking the war and enjoying the experience.

Hands Off! Wells, Maine · Indivisible

We had a very successful turn out for Saturday, April 5th. Close to 1000 attended, come join us again to make your voices heard!! Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. Wells is fighting back! They're taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now. 🚨 On Saturday, April 19th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! 🚨 📍 Where: Police Station Common Area 📅 When: 12PM April 19, 2025 This mass mobilization is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country. A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
