Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

It will never cease to amaze me that you can beat yourself up for weeks trying to write something, grinding out crap, and then suddenly, one day, it's just... there. Like you're typing as fast as you can just to keep up with the words flowing. (I will also likely never trust that this will happen.)

An 18-year-old high school student just built a water filter that removes 96% of microplastics from drinking water. Not in a billion-dollar lab. In her garage. Meet Mia Heller from Virginia. Her secret? A magnetic liquid called ferrofluid that grabs microplastic 1/3

First slide of an Instagram carousel summarizing and excerpt from “What the Heck Just Happened” with Heather Cox Richardson and Joanne Freeman, 5.16.26. A curly-haired dog is pictured in a teal circle on the left. Text reads: “In today's 'What the Heck Just Happened?', Heather and Joanne explain how the Trump administration's pageant of religion and fear is not governance but a calculated substitute for it — mobilized by people who have no allegiance to the actual principles of the nation, and made possible by forty years of deliberately undermining the public education that teaches citizens to think rather than obey.”

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

This is our country. Donald Trump doesn't own America. He doesn't own the White House. Everything he does relies on our money. We depend on Congress to represent our interests. They are failing us by allowing him to exploit our money for his personal interests. He & his party of sycophants must go.

In a world where power often shields wrongdoing and spreads falsehoods, these monks offer a reminder of what’s possible: compassion, presence, and mutual support. They walk quietly, steadily, inviting us to stand with truth and humanity rather than fear and deception.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
