Open letter to our Senators: Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow. We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

Colonists worried the courts wouldn’t work fairly anymore.
Britain interfered with the system colonies used to establish courts and legal authority.
Justice shouldn’t depend on political power.
 Takeaway: Laws don’t matter if courts can’t function.

Are we great yet? Are we safer?

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

"Don't worry, I've got you" ‘For Alex’ Alex Jeffrey Pretti 1988 - 2026 rest in peace sir..🕊️ Beautiful tribute by illustrator MJ.Hiblen (@mjhiblenart on Instagram)...😢

This five year old is still in jail

If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

Britain tried to control who could move—and where.
 They restricted immigration policies and made it harder to settle new lands.
 Colonists saw this as Britain limiting their future.
Takeaway: Control the land, control the people.

This sums it up.

Does anyone get the feeling they unloaded ten shots to make sure Pretti could never live to tell the tale? Same with Renee Good. The first two shots were non-lethal. It was the third shot into her left temple from the side of the car that killed her, according to the autopsy.

Britain hit “pause” on democracy.
 After dissolving assemblies, they sometimes didn’t allow new elections—leaving colonies vulnerable and leaderless.
That created fear, instability, and anger.
 Takeaway: Removing representation creates chaos.

It's been an incredibly difficult, exhausting, and emotional week. Apurrham Lincoln and I send our love to each and every one of you. Thank you for being a part of the History Detective Club community. History Matters.

 Are your kids ready to solve the mystery before history is rewritten?

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes...Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated." ― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl amzn.to/4qQM4Ze

When colonists pushed back, Britain shut them down.
 Royal governors could dissolve legislatures if they didn’t obey Parliament.
 So if leaders resisted unfair policies… they were dismissed.
 Takeaway: Speaking up can come with consequences.

“He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant…” In 1774, Britain forced Massachusetts lawmakers to meet in inconvenient places to wear them down. It sounds small… but it wasn’t.
When you make it hard to meet, talk, and organize—you weaken resistance.

They wanted power… without accountability.
Britain tried to force colonists to accept rules (like taxes) without having a real voice in government.
 That’s the heart of “taxation without representation.”
 Takeaway: Fair rules require fair representation.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Looking down and seeing this face looking back at you is the best part of any day. (Apurrham Linocoln is a Cornish Rex)

McGovern: I believe ICE should be abolished. I don’t want one more penny for ICE.

Translation: Even urgent laws had to be “paused” until the King approved them—and then he sometimes ignored them completely. Imagine needing a decision NOW… and being told, “Wait for permission.”
That’s not leadership. That’s control. Delays can be a weapon.

The great @johncusack.bsky.social on why news organizations shouldn't paywall FOIA-based reporting: "Paywalls don’t just limit readership, they create kind of a tiered citizenry, where one group can afford to know what the government is doing in their name and the other can’t."

My little sister wrote her first book and it officially releases today. I read it last month and was impressed. Really fast paced story. Follow the link below to check it out! #BookSky 📕 www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0FY...

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home. We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss. We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.
