Captain Mark Kelly@captmarkkelly.bsky.social · last mo.On America's 250th birthday, we're celebrating the ideas that built the most prosperous, successful nation the world has ever known. Generations sacrificed for these freedoms, and it's our responsibility to protect them for the generations to come. Happy Independence Day.

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov · last mo.Today, on the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, I'm thinking of the words of Maryland's own Thurgood Marshall, “This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on." For 250 years, Americans have answered that call & at this pivotal moment, I know we will again.

Brad Lander@bradlander.bsky.social · last mo.“These truths” are not actually self-evident. And we certainly haven’t always lived up to them. But 250 years on, the project of political equality, human rights, and democratic participation remains worthy of our lives, our fortune, and our sacred honor. Happy 250th.
