He’s not even in office anymore and he’s still more presidential than the man who is.

New York Public Library #America250 #July4

Ironically, the Freedom 250 “Salute to America” event on the National Mall was postponed, with attendees evacuated to the African American History Museum.

Lol

Empire collapse under the weight of metaphors.

They're doing little January 6s because that's all they know how to do.

Posted 5 hours ago "socialistaltphl: Today for the #4thofJuly in #Philadelphia, hundreds of #veterans came from all over the country, joined by unions & community members, to #protest against Trump's #war in #Iran and the endless funneling of money towards ICE and war, instead of #healthcare..."

I brought Eloise around to the porch in Alvadore so the property owner could pet her. I’ve been grazing there for some years & she’s become a friend. Sadly she was diagnosed w/ pancreatic cancer last fall. Though caught early, treatment has been hard. I thought some lamb therapy might be in order.

This is amazing! 😻 $750,000 in the FY2027 budget, specifically to help pet owners who can't afford food for their animals. Another $750,000 goes toward affordable spay/neuter services. $1.5 million total, aimed at keeping people and their pets together"

Today’s Parade of Sail on the Hudson River was stunning. I’m so proud to be the Mayor of New York City — our nation’s first capital — and to be celebrating America’s 250th anniversary on its historic shores.

Ha ha I hate it here

Probably a bad idea to wrap your face and body in slim-fit clothing on a day with 101 degree heat. Especially if the garments are made from tightly woven cotton or certain synthetics.

God is unsubtle lately.

🚨Philadelphia Police ATTACK peaceful protesters for putting a flag on the ground with lighter fluid LIVE NOW ⬇️

Sick of the headlines wrongly accusing Democrats of not being patriotic. We are in spite of Trump’s intentional alienation.

While the Trump supporting white supremacists get the mainstream media attention, a large anti-Trump protest featuring chants of 8647 brought out a bigger crowd in Washington, D.C.

This is the largest veteran led protest since Vietnam. We didn't ask for permission or get a permit. So the cops are here. Oh well, we continue mission.

Stand back, everyone. Let God do her work 📣

No more rich mans wars!

More “ 8.6.4.7” signage at the “Trümp Must Go Now” prötest in front of the #WhïteHouse ‼️

Hundreds of uniformed members of Patriot Front, a white supremacist group, marched toward the Capitol today. Their faces covered in white masks, the men beat drums and carried flags — some upside down, others Confederate — as they chanted, "Reclaim America!"

Deceased ☠️😭 They’re evacuating Trump’s Great American Fair. Can this get any worse?

I’m a veteran. So was my dad. If trump wants a fight, I’m ready.

I am a veteran and Trump, Vance, and Hegseth have to go. Any veteran that supports Trump is a member of a cult and ignore their oath to the constitution.

I just talked to a 100% Trump supporter who told me. Trump should be thrown out now after he arrested a soldier for standing up for his oath. He now hates trump 100% he was a soldier for DC in his past. Oh my. I'm impressed. I will talk to more veterans today.

Anti-Trump protesters marching towards the White House on July 4th, chanting "8647" This is what real patriots look like. 🇺🇸

American exceptionalism is that we are a melting pot, and that melting pot makes us stronger. Today in Seattle, I celebrated our nation’s 250th anniversary with 252 new U.S. citizens.

Mitch McConnell’s wife reportedly traveled to China just three days after he received CPR following an apparent heart attack.

JUST POSTED: An updated tally is in, and the count of Trump followers turned financial losers is even bigger than first thought. Much bigger. 988,905 buyers of #$TRUMP memecoin have lost a total of $3.81 billion. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/04/u...

MAGA called it "Freedom 250" because that's how many people are going to show up at Trump's speech. It's an anti-American cult, ruining the country on its 250th anniversary.

What a picture from cheney orr of @reuters.com — a Black woman on a train surrounded by masked white supremacists, emboldened in Trump’s America. One for the history books.

Trump and his sons ripped off nearly one million of their supporters and made a fortune producing nothing of value for anyone. Blood sucking leeches, using the US presidency to do it. And they couldn’t care less and their cult doesn’t seem to mind. Strange times in America.

Unless we tax wealth, not work, and do so nationwide and globally like we have non-proliferation treaties over nukes, the extremely wealthy will own everything including our elected politicians and government.

It's like trying to pour water into a bucket with holes in the bottom. The billionaire class has driven up our cost of living, ie made us all poorer by buying up all the assets, housing, businesses, and stocks, which makes them passive income they don't pay taxes on because it's wealth not "income"

Here's the situation. Chris Murphy, the Senator has called for a national $25/hr minimum wage. That's still about $4k for a full-time worker, which in LA, SD, SF, etc won't be near enough. It'll keep getting worse so long as the billionaires keep inflating assets & evading taxes using wealth.

Three days after Mitch McConnell was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance last month, his wife, Elaine Chao, did something odd. She flew to Beijing to discuss China-U.S. relations with Chinese VP Han Zheng. Planning what to do once their puppet was gone?🤔 www.rawstory.com/elaine-chao-...

“.. If the name were Biden instead of Trump,” said Ben Shapiro, a conservative podcast host who campaigned for the president, of the crypto empire of the current first family, “people would be screaming bloody murder.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

🚨Philadelphia police push PRESS out, including @JonFarinaPhoto from filming their arrests, with the Sergeant LYING about not knowing Jon was press LIVE NOW ⬇️

MAGA Nazis marching through Washington on the 4th of July. Meanwhile, anti-fascist protesters got 450 years in prison.

I’m seriously confused by Trump’s Great American State Fair. What exactly is the “great” part? America turns 250, and instead of celebrating our diverse history, liberty, and democracy, we get political merch, a grievance tour, and Nazis marching through the capital. Hell of a birthday party 🤡

Marvin Gaye in ’71; it’s louder in ’26: What’s going on? Celebrating independence while ignoring broken structures isn't freedom. We must demand a system for the many, not the few. Listen to the track. Hear the message. Get to work ✊

"If you're still here, you're DEFINITELY locked up!" -Police crackdown on protesters without being able to site what law or why. "Happy freedom day!" -@JonFarinaPhoto muses in response LIVE NOW ⬇️

The New York Times has perfected the art form of both sides framing.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

The members of Brass Solidarity come from a variety of musical backgrounds and are united in their dedication to using their talents to promote social justice and bring people together. Minnesota love and community is stronger than ever 🫶

In case you haven't seen this today.

I don’t need an Independence Day message from Donald Trump. The day he pardoned the first J6 insurrectionist, he forfeited any claim to patriotism.
