Thanks for telling the story of the fight for freedom in colonial America, and for the reminder that here and now we need to grab our fire buckets and help continue to defend democracy.

On my way, my friend, to do some mustering today! I love history, too, and am committed to sharing its truth like you have, the best we can. Growing up in Kansas we did learn Longfellow’s poem, but we had no context of that “shot.” Your experience of childhood and your love of New England inspires me. I love living here and only three blocks from Longfellow Street! Thank you so much. See you soon for the fight!

I thought I might bring a bucket with me, but what would I do with my “Trump hates women” and “Trump Hates poor people” poster?!

Thank you. This is a good holiday to remember why we here. Plan to use April 19th a lot on the comment boards tomorrow. This is not partisan.
