A federal security contractor that received millions from the Department of Agriculture hired notorious Patriot Front enforcer Ian Michael Elliott to work security patrols for the US Forest Service last year.

Located about 20 minutes south of Nashville, I had often imagined that I might one day like to live in Franklin, Tennessee, a true slice of Americana. That was until I encountered Gabrielle Hanson.

He now faces years in prison.

Have any of y'all heard about Larry Bushart Jr.? I ask, because I hadn't.

Watch this video and catch up on what's being done to him over a meme he posted.

He wasn't fired. He wasn't "canceled". He was arrested. Based on lies.

We should be outraged by this.

Most people I’ve talked to expect Larry to eventually win a large settlement from Perry County. In the meantime, he is being held on an unconstitutionally excessive bond for exercising his freedom of speech, preventing him from being at home with and supporting his family. 1/2

Freedom of Speech is under attack in America, and Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems is leading the charge in Tennessee.

Speak up before it’s too late!

The day after the Charlie Kirk shooting, Larry Bushart Jr. posted a meme of Trump’s statement to a Perry County group organizing a vigil for Kirk with the statement, “seems relevant today.”

This is clearly political speech contrasting right wing reactions to two separate events.

Tennessee man arrested after posting meme in Facebook group for Charlie Kirk vigil Members of the Perry County community reportedly believed he was making threats against local schools

The day after the 2024 Perry High School shooting, Trump declared, “we have to get over it.”

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. And he’s a rapist.

Sue me.

Gas prices are about to skyrocket due to Trump’s unconstitutional declaration of war.

I also strongly recommend journaling what you witnessed by hand if possible.

Expect a new wave of censorship targeting speech people simply disagree with. Trump has already said he was going to use it against his critics, so we should do the same until the law is fixed.

Use the system to take down right wingers’ fake photos of Kamala and have their accounts suspended.

JB Pritzker implores Democrats to fight Trump as the potential 2028 candidate visits New Hampshire In an interview with NBC News, Pritzker says if Democrats reclaim Congress, they will hold the administration responsible if it has violated the Constitution.

I love him, he’s a real fighter.

Trump: The Art of the Kneel

Today we celebrate the fertility goddess Eostre with bunnies and eggs.

It's time to rise up together and condemn Trump's fascist regime before he can amass enough power to unilaterally label anyone an enemy of the state and make them disappear. Waiting for things to blow over is what allowed Hitler to rise to power.
