Civil disobedience, that is breaking the law to uphold the public good, is not extremism. It is a recognized principle of political and moral life. The Supreme Court has said so. The Founders lived it. That's why they enshrined the American right to overthrow tyrants. 😁

Engagement
20 posts held, back to 29 March 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 20 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Reaction mix
2 reactions across 2 posts, in 2 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 50.0% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 1 | 50.0% | |
| 🔥 | 1 | 50.0% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 2 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 2 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 29 March 2026 to 20 July 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Practical guide just published on resisting Flock license plate cameras. It lays out the real scale of the network, how local police are feeding data to federal agencies through school district cameras, the constitutional questions still open, and actual tools people are using right now like community mapping projects.

🌀 Bleach Unlimited — Resurrecting a Dead Game for the Open Web Most games die when their platform dies. BYOND games? They've been dying for years — servers shutting down, communities scattering, thousands of hours of design and content vanishing forever. We decided to do something about that. Bleach Unlimited was a massive multiplayer anime RPG on BYOND. When it went down, it stayed down. Until now. We ported the…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @EpicAIFTW. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
