🔥🇺🇸🔥 In the face of Monday's #treasonous#SCOTUS' presidential immunity ruling, this #July4th#IndependenceDay is MUCH diminished. We have a new monarch called the "President." King George III must be 🤣🤣🤣 laughing his ass off in his grave. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Steph
told as a child i'd be free as a grown up
until then I had to do what my parents told me to do
when I became grown I found out, very quickly, that I was not free, especially if having fun
grew up on the ideal and got punched with the reality when grown
have been fighting for freedom since
Too many liberals keep saying that and blissfully remain unaware about the USA's heinous colonialist past.
It should be "this is NOT what America should want to be about anymore"...not that ignorant liberal bullshit.
We know about the bad history, we just don't want to have statues and named places that celebrate the really horrible people, mainly the members of the Confederacy. Relegate that to the museums and history books as a warning not to fuck within America.
Ok, Anthropological opinion on US History and experience: It is somewhat comforting to realize that we as a people have continually fought against the forces of authoritarianism and fascism and have won the fight so far. It gives me a small hope that we'll win this round also.
I really want to believe that, but this feels like 50+ years of dominoes set up by the right wing that are starting to fall faster. Even if we eventually "win", lots and lots of people are being and will be crushed under them in the meantime.
I am & always will be a pacifist. I am & always will be anti-fascist + an activist for it. I am & always will be working to see democracy win. I am & always will be willing to accept what looks like dire consequences for these beliefs. I will fight, but I will also have hope, as Obama asked us for.
250 years ago, people left their homes, farms and families, fought and died, to win you the right not to give a flying fuck about the UK’s election yesterday.
Show some gratitude.
