Isaiah Thomas was a ready target of the British and the Loyalists as he published contrary feelings about the Crown. It really is a wonder that he wasn't killed as he was an obvious and stationary target.
I see some similarities to the obvious restrictions on free speech here today and now a new government watchdog of "dangerous" speech being created. We are also living in very dangerous times.
The printing press was a marvelous invention that was used to stir the passions and thought of men and women from the beginning of it's time. From Martin Luther to Isaiah Thomas information could be disseminated to inform and instruct and influence it's intended audience on the news of the world.

Thank you Tara.
Thanks for a unique story that shows a pen can be as great a weapon as a gun. Thank God for the brave men who reported and preserved history. Bravo!

An example of why we should never have our free speech abridged! 🇺🇸
As brave as any soldier in the Continental Army, and, I believe, just as at risk in his daily life!
Risked everything for Freedom!
Thank you Tara!!

Words are powerful weapons as tyrants understand!
