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.

This could not have come to America sooner. The antithesis of the Trump agenda on full display. Unity, diversity, respect, and love. Humans loving each other.

The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.
Screenshot of an online opinion article by the Editorial Board. The headline reads, "The Texas gerrymander freakout," with the subheadline, "What's happening in the Lone Star State is not a threat to democracy." The publication date is August 20, 2025.​Screenshot of an online opinion article from The Washington Post by the Editorial Board. The headline reads, "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss," with the subheadline, "The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it."

Artemis II crew sends picture of Earth to remind everyone that on this one tiny blue, insignificant, spinning marble are all of the Epstein files showing that the president of the United States is a pedophile. Really puts it all into perspective.

Wild that Trump lying about talks with Iran is enough to spike the market, but Iran saying "um, we've had no contact with Trump" has no effect at all. LOL. Such a scam.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

Looked up to watch Lindsey Vonn's run... Ugghhh so awful. Ugly fall and I can't imagine with a torn ACL that you can bounce back from a fall like that. But she's proved everyone wrong her whole career. Hoping for the best!

Leaving Minneapolis is not enough. Kristi Noem resigning is not enough. ICE must be reformed from top to bottom. Agents wear badges and do not wear masks. There must be accountability and justice for those abused. No more harassing people based on anything other than evidence of a violent crime.

Last night Tennessee showed us why the GOP gerrymandering project isn’t going to save them. You can’t gerrymander your way out of this level of unpopularity.

What I want to know is if this is the first time Homan has accepted a bribe. In a normal Administration, he would be immediately fired and a full forensic investigation conducted. But in this corrupt Administration, they’ll lie and deflect.

Finally. This needs to be the message for every bit of illegal bullshit this administration pulls. From ICE raids to extrajudicial killings to DOGE, etc. If you committed a crime, justice is coming for you.

We need to boycott every company that bows to this madness. Whether it's firing employees for their speech or companies actively working with the administration. Anyone know of any organized effort to identify and take action against these companies?

Elon Musk is a deeply unwell individual. Sometimes he seems to border on split-personality, where one minute he’s making some “every voice should have a place to flourish” proclamation, while the next he’s calling for blood against Americans he hates.

Exactly this. Violent hateful people were so desperate to use this incident to call for violence against those who hold views they detest. Now that the narrative has crumbled, they’re pushing forward with a shifting narrative to justify the call to arms. Dangerous is an understatement.

Oh what do you know, Tyler Robinson appears to be a gun-loving, queer-hating, cisgendered, conservative. Every single Dem should be DEMANDING public apologies from every MAGA cunt who spent the past two days calling for civil war and Dem blood. These people are monsters and they need to be reminded.

He spends $200 MILLION of your💰on a ballroom and his family doesn’t deny making billions off his presidency. As you cheer for him caging brown ice cream men & kids, he invades DC to cover a child sex trafficking ring and trashes the constitution to cling to power. He laughs.
