When we are no longer independent and the constitution died in 2025. There's no 250th anything to celebrate. Just another revolution that should happen.
And is a stupid fight on the White House lawn really a “celebration”? Yah of idiocy.
I will not be celebrating on July 4th. I will be celebrating when the Republicans are gone from power. The founders of our country would have to put in induced comas to save their brains from exploding if they could see this country today. And that is the point. No one could possibly understand that the country of 1776 could get to what it is today. We need to change, institute and get rid of so many laws and regulations put in place when there was a complete lack of understanding of the Year 2026. It would be like us trying to make laws that would make sense in 2276.
NOT ME 😭😭😭😨 i literally cringe when i think of what our nation’s flag has come to represent to other countries, to us. i no longer can bring myself to say USA - not united. the beloved Statue of Liberty and all of the immigrants who dreamed to come here for the promise of opportunity.
cancel events/BOYCOTT us as long as this orange, deep stain has covered us.

i am not a young person now and i do want to live to see the day this is allllll exposed! all of the BIGOTRY that has always rottened our core. can we face it? love or like one another and accept all? every single color and creed brings the best to us. tax
those with toooo much $$ and power owning all of the systems put in place that survived for many decades; until the orange imbecile slimed down his golden escalator full
of HATE. america was great. alwayyyyssss whining and complaining . shut your gd lying mcdonald’s burger with ketchup hole!!

I just read the first few lines and already knew I had to comment, as I have been feeling this since Trump rigged the 2024 election to become President again. And as the date has drawn closer, I had hoped the ones with the legal power to stop this blatant destruction of democracy would’ve done their parts in driving the movement forward — but they haven’t. No military turning on POTUS and his Cabinet and removing their evil, incompetent asses from office as we install our new, chosen leaders. No Legislators finally growing a pair to stand up against the death threats and admit they sold their souls to the devil so they could sell us out too. So it has to be us. If we really want to celebrate 250 of TRUE INDEPENDENCE — it’s up to the people.
Trump did not rig the election. More people voted for him in spite of how obviously awful he is and always has been. I get that it is more comforting to believe that he rigged the election so that we don’t have to confront the fact that we live in a country where democracy has failed so thoroughly and spectacularly. But confront we must.
This Is not wishful thinking to comfort myself. Trump admitted it; Musk admitted it; officials from the FBI and CIA have said it; and the independent firm that audits elections using strategies and software utilized the world over say it. In fact, the auditors say he not only rigged his own election (which is obvious bc there’s no way in hell he won every swing state), he rigged some House elections to insure he took control of Congress as well. They have proof he rigged 2016 as well (yes, Russiagate was real).
Not sure how to “celebrate “ the 4th as we are now under a regime instead of a democratic liberal republic.
What do we celebrate?
Perhaps instead I will start reading “Common Sense” to become better equipped on his views at a time when we were also under a regime of the British crown.
I understand what Mike is saying, don’t let the bastards keep you down, rise up and demand our representatives actually represent us.
Today I can’t even imagine what our country will look like in less than four months.
The thought of it makes me sick. Especially when I consider that we could have been celebrating a republic that had finally been smart enough to elect an incredible smart, capable, high-integrity Black woman to the highest office. We threw it all away.
It is going to be a disgusting display of Christian Nationalism and their warped reality of what they want to make us into. It will also be done poorly and make us an even bigger laughing stock. Their incompetence is only outweighed by their evil.
As a person in Philadelphia, I take it as an obligation on July 4th to show up at Independence Hall with all the other folks this regime would like to erase. The immigrants. The LGBTQ community. The black community. We're not going to disappear into the woodwork to make him and his ilk comfortable. We're going to remind them that it's our America, too, and we're not gong anywhere.
As someone who's proud to have inherited a legacy of loyalty, it seems only fitting to me that a country founded on what was, factually, treason should mark its semiquincentennial with traitors in charge.
We're not cooperating with autocracy here at our house. We've been holding message banners over I-95 twice a week for many months. Rain, shine freezing cold, snow up to our butts. I'm sending letters and boycotting bad actors to the pain and funding the real fighters with money saved by not buying shit on Amazon and canceled publications and services. I have my reps on speed dial. If it's a 250th pageant I'll likely help create and attend a counter-protest instead. This is war.

Actually the stupid fight will not happen on 7/4. Trump has changed it to his birthday on 6/14.
Underscoring "Just another revolution that should happen."
Oh I forgot he was doing that. Because of course his birthday is more important than America's.

We will have either a celebration, if we can turn the tide before the 4th of July, or a Requiem Mass. I will mark the occasion one way or the other.

💯💯💯
