This Day in Legal History: Boston MassacreOn March 5, 1770, a confrontation between British soldiers and American colonists in Boston turned deadly in what became known as the Boston Massacre. Tensions had been rising for months as British troops occupied the city to enforce parliamentary taxes that many colonists believed were unjust. On that evening, a crowd gathered near the Boston Custom House and began taunting a British sentry, shouting insults and throwing snowballs and debris. As the situation escalated, additional soldiers arrived to support the guard, but the crowd continued to press in. In the confusion and fear of the moment, the soldiers fired into the crowd. Five colonists were killed and several others were wounded, including Crispus Attucks, who is often remembered as the first casualty of the American Revolution.The incident quickly became a flashpoint in colonial politics, with patriot leaders using it as evidence of British tyranny. Yet the legal response that followed was notable for its commitment to due process despite intense public anger. British Captain Thomas Preston and eight soldiers were arrested and charged with murder. Future president John Adams agreed to defend the soldiers, arguing that the rule of law required even deeply unpopular defendants to receive a fair trial. During the proceedings, Adams emphasized the evidence suggesting the soldiers had been surrounded and threatened by a hostile crowd. The jury ultimately acquitted six soldiers and convicted two of the lesser charge of manslaughter.The trials demonstrated an early American commitment to the principle that legal judgments should be guided by evidence rather than public pressure, even during moments of political upheaval.The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that New Jersey cannot use sovereign immunity to protect New Jersey Transit from personal injury lawsuits filed by riders injured outside the state. The unanimous opinion, written by Sonia Sotomayor, resolved a conflict between the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the New York Court of Appeals over whether the transit agency qualifies as an “arm of the state.” The dispute arose from two lawsuits filed by passengers injured in NJ Transit bus crashes that occurred outside New Jersey.The justices focused heavily on how the agency was structured. During oral argument, several members of the Court questioned why New Jersey created NJ Transit as a corporation with the ability to sue and be sued while also disclaiming responsibility for its debts. Some justices suggested those design choices undermined the state's argument that the agency should receive sovereign immunity protections.New Jersey's lawyers argued that the agency's independence is largely formal and that the governor maintains significant control over the system. They also warned that allowing such lawsuits could subject the state to litigation in other states' courts. However, the Court appeared unconvinced by those arguments and emphasized that the plaintiffs were private individuals seeking compensation rather than other states trying to regulate New Jersey.The ruling ultimately sided with the New York court's earlier decision and overturned the Pennsylvania ruling, allowing the personal injury lawsuits to proceed.Supreme Court Rejects NJ Immunity Defense In NY, Pa. SuitsRegulators are increasingly focusing on dynamic or algorithmic pricing, a practice that uses personal data—such as location, browsing history, and purchasing behavior—to set individualized prices for consumers. The approach has raised concerns among privacy and consumer protection regulators because it relies on large amounts of personal data and may affect price transparency. Although grocery pricing has drawn the most attention, the practice is also used in industries like travel, financial services, and online retail.The Federal Trade Commission has been studying the issue but has not clearly stated whether dynamic pricing violates any specific federal law. In 2024, the agency issued subpoenas to companies that develop pricing algorithms to learn how they collect consumer data, train their systems, and influence the prices consumers see. A preliminary research summary released in 2025 confirmed that these tools rely heavily on consumer data and can adjust prices in real time, but it did not identify specific legal violations.While the federal approach remains uncertain, state regulators are taking more direct action. The office of Rob Bonta, the California attorney general, launched an investigative sweep in January 2026 to examine how companies use consumer data to personalize prices. Investigators sent letters to retailers, grocery stores, and hotels requesting information about pricing algorithms, data sources, and disclosures to consumers.Meanwhile, the New York Attorney General's Office is investigating companies' compliance with the state's new Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act. The law requires businesses to clearly inform consumers when prices are generated using algorithms that rely on their personal data. Regulators have warned that disclosures hidden behind hyperlinks may not satisfy the law's requirement that notices be clear and conspicuous.Other states are considering similar legislation, including proposals targeting surveillance-based pricing or banning dynamic pricing in certain industries. As scrutiny increases, companies that use personalized pricing tools are being urged to review their data practices, pricing disclosures, and compliance with emerging state privacy laws.Amidst uncertainty from FTC, states zero in on dynamic and algorithmic pricing | ReutersThe U.S. civilian federal workforce decreased by about 12% between September 2024 and January 2026, according to newly released government data. The reductions reflect efforts by Donald Trump's administration to shrink federal agencies, a policy he promoted as a way to reduce government size and increase efficiency.Several major departments experienced significant staffing losses. The U.S. Department of the Treasury saw its workforce drop by roughly 24%, while the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lost about 20% of its employees during the same period. These reductions represent some of the largest declines across federal agencies.One notable exception was the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which slightly increased its workforce by less than 1%. The agency's growth reflects the administration's continued focus on immigration enforcement and deportation efforts.Overall, the data indicates that the administration's push to cut federal staffing has had a broad impact across much of the government, significantly reducing the number of civilian employees in many departments.US government workforce shrunk by 12% since September 2024 | Reuters This is a public episode.

In this episode, we chat with Ethan Zuckerman— a Public Policy, Communication and Information professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst— about his views on the present political climate and major movements occurring in reaction to the Trump administration. From the anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis to memes on the internet to the Boston Massacre, we discuss the various forms of resistance the public can perform in the face of adversity. Zuckerman also delves into the historization of mass movements and how their retellings, or lack thereof, can shape how we perform and learn about resistance. We end by circling back to a discussion of memes and AI as they influence how America views current events. Zuckerman leaves us wondering what America looks like and how the celebrations will roll out as we hit its 250th birthday in 2026.  In particular, we explore what monuments and memorials might look like if they emerged bottom-up from the people rather than top-down from government institutions.  Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Academic/Educational readings and resources:How Right Wing Influencers Used AI Slop to Turn Renee Good Into a MemeGramsci's Nightmare: AI, Platform Power and the Automation of Cultural HegemonyMistrust Why Losing Faith in Institutions Provides the Tools to Transform ThemDigital Cosmopolitans Why We Think the Internet Connects Us, Why It Doesn't, and How to Rewire It1984Historical Events or Celebrations:America's 250th bicentennialBoston Tea PartyBoston Massacre1992 Los Angeles riots/ Rodney King RiotsWatergateLincoln Brigades Kent State shootingsPeople & Places:Alex PrettiRenee GoodRodney KingGeorge FloydGeorge Floyd MemorialEric GarnerElon MuskAlexander HamiltonAntonio GramsciJill Lapore – These TruthsHeather Cox RichardsonStone MountainNational Memorial for Peace and JusticeHarold Innis: Marble vs. PapyrusJames Mitchner on Kent StateMedia:The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail1776HamiltonMary Tyler Moore Anti-ICE statue [Link]JD Vance Couch Meme [News Link]US Tries to Take Greenland [News link]White House posts digitally altered image of woman arrested after ICE protest [News link]Grok “Woke Bias” [News link]Trump White House “Walk of Fame” Plaques [News link] ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Share your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!

In this Black Talk Radio Network analysis, we examine how modern dissent is criminalized while historical rebellion is sanctified. As footage circulates portraying Alex Pretti as belligerent and Renée Good's family as emotional, the public is once again encouraged to focus on behavior rather than state violence. But when we place Minneapolis alongside the Boston Massacre, a contradiction emerges. Working-class colonists who confronted British soldiers are remembered as patriots, while contemporary protesters challenging federal power are framed as threats. From a Black historical perspective—one that remembers Crispus Attucks and the selective memory of American rebellion—this video exposes how anger, property damage, and resistance are judged differently depending on who controls the narrative. In the Black Talk Radio Network community, this pattern is understood as Proxy Racism: the use of narrative and social proxies to justify power while erasing its victims.

The History of the Americans

Exactly 250 years ago, a rotund twenty-five year-old Boston bookseller named Henry Knox was riding his horse between Springfield and Worcester Massachusetts, on his way to George Washington's headquarters in Cambridge. Washington's ragtag, ill-equipped Continental Army had kept the British garrison under General Thomas Gage bottled up in Boston and Charlestown since the summer of 1675.  Washington had a whole load of problems, including insufficient arms for his men, many with expiring enlistments that threatened to shrink his force by half or more.  He also had almost no artillery, just 12 small cannon that Henry Knox, among others, had learned to operate while training with the local militia.  Geographically, the Boston of that era was essentially a bubble of land connected to the mainland by an incredibly narrow neck at Roxbury.  Two hills loomed over the city from across the water – Breed's Hill in Charlestown to Boston's north, which the British had captured at great cost in the summer, and Dorchester Heights, to Boston's south, which the British had not captured. This is why it was very important – world historically important – that Henry Knox, on that day exactly 250 years ago, was commanding a convoy of artillery comprising 58 pieces and weighing more than 60 tons, pulled on purpose-built sleds by teams of oxen and horses all the way from Fort Ticonderoga, 300 miles away, over rivers and the Berkshires, during the coldest winter in memory. Within just a few days those guns would be in Cambridge, and not long after that, on the sixth anniversary of the Boston Massacre, would be entrenched on Dorchester Heights and open fire on the city and ships below.  Henry Knox's big guns would drive the British from Boston, for good.               The tale of that “noble train” of artillery, as Knox famously referred to it, is one of the more astonishing stories of military innovation, indefatigable perseverance, and inspired leadership in a war that had more than its share of such moments. It was also among the most important, because it came at a desperate period when the Americans needed a victory or the entire project of the Revolution might have fallen apart.

CLICK HERE! To send us a message! Ask us a Question or just let us know what you think!Fireworks didn't make America—hard choices did. We open the new year by diving into the fierce, flawed, and fiercely honest life of John Adams: the lawyer who defended British soldiers on principle, the strategist who made independence possible, and the president who chose peace over applause when the nation begged for war.We walk through Adams' unlikely path from a shoemaker's son to Harvard scholar, his daring defense after the Boston Massacre, and the way he engineered unity at the Continental Congress by nominating George Washington and persuading Virginia to align with New England. You'll hear the real timeline behind July 2 and July 4, how Jefferson became the Declaration's scribe while Adams supplied its voice, and why the early war looked hopeless until foreign loans and alliances—driven in part by Adams—changed everything. From Hessian mercenaries to the prison ships of New York, we pull the camera back to show the stakes and the strategy that wore down the British empire.Then we tackle the 1790s knife fight: parties taking shape, newspapers as political weapons, and Jefferson's covert funding of hit pieces. Inside the presidency, Adams faced riots, the France crisis, and crushing pressure to go to war. He signed the Alien and Sedition Acts—an error that scarred his reputation—yet he also made the bravest call of his career: sending envoys to secure peace, sacrificing reelection to spare the republic a disastrous conflict. Finally, we explore Adams' long reconciliation with Jefferson, the treasure trove of letters that still teach us how to argue in good faith, and the towering legacy of John Quincy Adams, whose work on the Monroe Doctrine, the Amistad case, and national science policy carried the family's ethic forward.If you care about the birth of American institutions, the messy truth of leadership, and the costs of choosing country over self, this story has layers you'll love. Press play, then tell a friend—and if this conversation changed how you see Adams, subscribe, rate, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Today we look at the period leading up to the First Continental Congress beginning with a look at Loyalists versus Patriots. The period of 1760-1774 is a critical time frame for the Colonies. This period is marked by the Stamp Act and the Townsand Act that provokes increased hatred toward the Crown and increased boycotts of British goods. This leads us to the Boston Massacre as British Troops are ordered to use deadly force to bring the Colonies back into obedience with the Crown. These actions fail, furthering the divide between Loyalists and Patriots. From this arises the First Continental Congress.  #BardsFM_OurSacredHonor #RiseOfDefiance #ConstitutionalMoney Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

This week in our constitutional education series we look a the Boston massacre and the continuing events that are moving the colonies to the point of the Declaration of Independence. The friction between the Crown and the colonies continues to grow, and with the Boston Massacre the colonists experience the willingness of the Crown to use deadly force on its own blood. The calls for separation accelerate.

Greg Jenner is joined in the 18th century by Professor Frank Cogliano and comedian and actor Patton Oswalt to learn about the American War of Independence. Also known as the American Revolutionary War, 2025 marks 250 years since the start of the conflict in 1775, when the first battles between the British army and the colonial resistance were fought at Lexington and Concord. But what caused Britain's North American colonies to rebel against the king and government in London? At what point did they start to see themselves as American and not British? And how did a colonial militia take on an imperial superpower?This episode charts the growing rift between Britain and its American colonists, taking in famous events like the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and the calling of the first Continental Congress, all the way through to the Declaration of Independence and the course of the revolutionary war itself. We learn how America fought to free itself from the shackles of British rule, and meet some well-known names from history, including Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and George Washington. And we also ask whose freedom was being fought for, and who – such as Black and Indigenous Americans – got left behind.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

"...and as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do." In this episode, Professor Johnson (Baylor U.) explores the origins of American theories of diplomacy and the importance of race and freedom in early American history. These concepts are seen most clearly in early relations between the USA and France, particularly the French colony of Saint-Domingue (modern day Haiti). This episode covers the period between the First Treaty of Paris (1763) and the Second Treaty of Paris (1783). Topics include: -the origins of American diplomacy -the conditions in the First Treaty of Paris that enflamed colonial tensions in North America, the Caribbean, and even Africa -the evolving racial politics amongst whites, free people of color, and slaves in Saint-Domingue, which had 128 categories of racial distinction -the similarities and differences between racial politics and colonial politics in British North America and French Saint-Domingue -the fascinating story of Crispus Attucks, a Massachusetts slave who freed himself and then became the first martyr in the Boston Massacre -strategies of black liberation in both French and British colonies -black authors who wrote about black emancipation, including Phillis Wheatley and Lemuel Haynes -John Adams' founding foreign policy theory of the new United States, namely the rejection of Europe's concept of the balance of power and military alliances -the first treaty between France and the US in 1778 -the story of the Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue, who fought with American rebels at the Siege of Savannah and who, after the American Revolution, returned to Saint-Domingue to lead the Haitian Revolution against the French Empire -the importance of Article 1 of the second Treaty of Paris (1783), which states: "His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States...to be free sovereign and Independent States; that he treats with them as such, and for himself his Heirs & Successors, relinquishes all claims to the Government, Propriety, and Territorial Rights of the same and every Part thereof."

The slaughter of three Americans innocently driving down a US turnpike in their mini-van by a soul-less illegal migrant third-world invader from India using a 80,000 trailer as a lethal weapon to kill our fellow citizens raises a plethora of interesting questions.First, why do Americans allow our home-grown sanctuary cities to harbor illegal migrant third-world invaders--including those who commit violent crimes upon American men, women, and children--from the lawful consequences of their predation on ourselves and our fellow citizens?Second, why does American allow for the importation into our nation of tens of millions of third-world migrant Indian nationals who are competing for American resources for scarce American resources--particularly high-paying tech jobs, but also of course qualify housing, education, healthcare, social services, and much more--when those same Indians are infamous for corrupting the H1B and other immigration pipelines, for engaging in outrageous nepotism in hiring only other Indian nationals over more qualified American citizens, who laughingly fake their academic and professional credentials, and who bring with them their third-world Indian culture that is entirely alien and inimical to our own American culture, and utterly unsuited to assimilation in any but the most minuscule of numbers?Are these CDL killings the modern immigrant BOSTON MASSACRE that will wake America from its slumber, and lead us to finally checking this third-world invasion of our nation, economy, culture, and people?The #1 guide for understanding when using force to protect yourself is legal.

John Adams is arguably America’s most underrated Founding Father. He has no currency that bears his image. No national holidays celebrate his birth. He’s nearly never named as anyone’s favorite president. And he has no dedicated memorial in Washington, D.C. Despite this, he was perhaps the most influential early American, rivaling Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin. Adams was a key advocate for American independence, nominating Washington as commander of the Continental Army and helping draft the Declaration of Independence. As president, he averted war with France through the Convention of 1800, prioritizing peace despite political backlash. He also defended British soldiers in the Boston Massacre trial, showcasing his commitment to justice, and laid the foundation for the U.S. Navy by establishing the Department of the Navy in 1798. How can this be remedied? Today’s guest, Jackie Cushman, is the Chair of the Adams Memorial Commission, created by Congress to establish a Washington, DC memorial to John Adams and his family. She seeks to commemorate the lives of him and his descendants, as the original philosopher-statesmen of America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1771, James Lovell stood before a massive crowd in Boston to deliver a speech commemorating the first anniversary of the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770. His oration left no room for compromise: warning against standing armies, defending the people's right to bear arms, declaring freedom as a birthright, and rejecting Parliament's authority over the colonies entirely. This episode explores James Lovell's powerful speech, its aftermath, and a background story about Paul Revere's role in the commemoration of the Boston Massacre.

Welcome to The Wandering Pilgrims, where history and faith intertwine to tell the stories of those who shaped our nation. Today, we delve into the life of Samuel Adams, often hailed as the father of the American Revolution. His journey is one of unwavering faith, relentless pursuit of liberty, and deep trust in God's sovereignty. Born on September 27, 1722, in Boston, Massachusetts, Samuel Adams was nurtured in a household that valued education and faith. His early education at home and Boston Latin School prepared him for Harvard, which he entered at the tender age of 14. Although he aspired to be a minister, his parents directed him toward business, apprenticing him under Thomas Cushing. Despite his parents' wishes, Adams' heart was set on serving the public. In 1756, he was elected as Boston's tax collector, a role that highlighted his empathy and integrity. His reluctance to force collections on the impoverished spoke volumes of his character and earned him the trust of the common people. Adams' passion for liberty was ignited by his strong belief in God's Providence. He believed that freedom was not just a political ideal, but a divine mandate. This conviction led him to initiate the Massachusetts Circular and play pivotal roles in events like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Adams' faith was not confined to private devotion. As a member of the Continental Congress, he advocated for national days of prayer and fasting, recognizing that the success of the American cause depended on God's favor. His suggestion to have the meeting opened with a prayer by a non-Puritan minister demonstrated his spirit of religious tolerance and reliance on God's guidance. Samuel Adams' political career was marked by significant contributions, including signing the Declaration of Independence and helping draft the Massachusetts Constitution, which reflected his belief in the Christian foundation of governance. His life was a testament to steadfast faith and public service, guided by an unwavering trust in God's sovereign plan. Samuel Adams' story reminds us that true leadership is rooted in faith and integrity. Thank you for joining us here at The Wandering Pilgrims.
