“do not obey in advance” includes falling into despair & giving up. if fascism was invincible, it’s rampant & desperate propaganda would not be necessary. learn to build revolutionary optimism in yourself & your community. when we fight, we win.

Happy 250th, America. As we celebrate, let's honor those who built this country, defended it, and never stopped pushing America to live up to its promise. The fight for freedom isn't over. And the next 250 years will depend on what we do now. We've got work to do.

A grim reminder this 4th of July: The US has the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy on Earth, making it a leader in mass incarceration. Far too many people are locked up in the “land of the free.”

Graph showing that the U.S. incarcerates people at a rate of 614 per 100,000. This is at least 4x higher than any other founding NATO countries.

“Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation,are men who want..the ocean without the awful roar..This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both..but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand” Frederick Douglass America 250

Four years ago, the same gunfire I heard on the battlefield in Iraq rang out through Highland Park during a Fourth of July parade. Seven lives cut short. A two-year-old orphaned. A community forever changed. Enough has to be enough.  Reinstate the assault weapons ban. Now.

Senator Duckworth and state leaders march holding a “We are Highland Park” banner.

It's unthinkable that a U.S. Senator would vote against releasing the Epstein files instead of demanding accountability. But that's exactly what Jon Husted did. Even worse, just weeks before that vote, Husted accepted a maximum campaign contribution from one of Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators.

“What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham…” —Frederick Douglass, 1852

What has carried our nation forward is not the absence of challenges, but the willingness of ordinary people to meet them with hope, courage, and action. As we celebrate America’s 250th, we must continue to fight for one another, our democracy, and the promise of what we can build together.

Billionaire Taylor Swift donates MILLIONS to charities before her wedding. Trillionaire Elon Must *takes* millions away for starving children in Africa and otherwise does *nothing* to help anyone but himself. And I see people on here accusing *her* of being "self-indulgent." Excuse me?

Dolly Parton’s message thanking Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their $2 million donation to her Imagination Library! “I'm blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude. Now, it's evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives.”

Last year ICE said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and tried to choke her to death. He was even indicted for attempted murder. Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie.

A Venezuelan man was accused of attempting to choke an ICE officer to death in Bellevue. Bystander video tells a different story

Gabriel Hurtado-Cariaco was referred to by DHS as a “criminal illegal alien” and a “known Tren de Aragua terrorist.” The agency said he “violently attacked an ICE agent” by slamming her head into the ...
