A renewed commitment to progressive values this Fourth of July is essential. Today's political climate draws historical parallels. Let's ensure America remains true to its founding principles.
Absolutely brother Egberto! Justice for All is every bit within our reach as is the growing menace of billionaire-driven Fascism. Independence Day is both the time to celebrate our progress toward universal human rights and to redouble our work for a TRUE INDEPENDENCE DAY. Radical hope, laser-focused strategy.
We will win. Just like Labour won in a landslide in the UK because the Conservative failed policies caught up with them so it will be in November if we make the case. SCOTUS and draconian policies and candidates should make this easy if we decide to engage from a position of strength, not a defensive posture but an offensive one!
Thank you Egberto and Happy Independence Day to you. Your description of how the U.S. was once the shining goal of people throughout the world resonates with me. Being a few years older than you, my school years were in the 1950s-1960s, and I vividly remember that our teachers taught that the USA was the greatest place on earth. Our parents, who had fought for freedom in WWII, echoed that same message. It angers me when a tangerine con artist insurrectionist forms a misinformed cult and lies that America is a “shithole country.”
It is disturbing that so many people are too stupid to see what Trump is doing and how he is trying to become a dictator like his idols in Russia, North Korea, and China. What was once a joke is now becoming true: a definition of stupidity is not knowing that one is stupid.
Also disturbing are Trump’s ridiculous fear mongering statements about immigrants. Immigrants are an important part of this country. If all four of my grandparents had not come here as immigrants, I would not be here today. If not for certain immigrants who caught the ear of FDR, this country would probably be speaking German today.
Trump’s cult is not the majority. But election turnout in this country is abysmal. If the majority can be motivated to vote in November, Trump, his downballot enablers, and his extremely dangerous Project 2025 can be crushed.
And that is the fight, brother. We must engage all and point out the importance on being who are became and are further becoming. No fear. But we have got to execute.

Absolutely! Apathy is the ultimate enemy.
Well said Egberto - we are all in!
