We must be silly to poke fun at the regime.

Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.

In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?

As I went walking I saw a sign there,
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.

When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.

I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding;
This land was made for you and me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway;
I saw below me that golden valley;
This land was made for you and me.

American Book Dragon @americanbookdragon.bsky.social · 5h

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.

I think you can get inflatable costumes at Spirit Halloween. 🤔

Gotta love when a graphic novel makes you look like a crazy person when they loops the words upside down so that you’re constantly spinning the book when you read. #booksky

Do I have so many library books to read with so little time to read them, that I'll let these books go over due just so that I can get around to them? Uh, yes. The answer is yes. #booksky

This is from the movie The Mummy, with the actress Rachel Weisz who plays Evelyn. This "oops" by this character is after all of the library shelves in the entire library fall over.

What keeps my hope going? Americans do not EVER like being told what to do by the government. The word freedom is ingrained in us. Americans said "With liberty and justice for all" 5 days a week. Our declaration of independence lists all of what King George did, and it matches what Trump is doing.

They were a fascist group to begin with, originally slave catchers.

This looks exactly like what happened in Woodridge, IL. My sister in-law talked about this happening. If it's not the same incident, then this is not the first time they've done that.
