Reclaim The 4th!

As John Pavlovitz notes, it is no secret that today, the Fourth of July, has become a high holy day for the MAGA movement and fascists in general.  And that truly is a shame.  They have, essentially, culturally appropriated and turned thoroughly inside-out such an otherwise wonderful holiday celebrating our nation's hard-won independence from the British Empire, and the ideals of liberty and justice for all.  

Thus we must NEVER let them have exclusive use of this day, as that is dangerous.  Instead, we must reclaim it from the fascists, lest we let them win.

So what are we waiting for?  Happy Birthday America!  And hopefully many, many more!

Happy Fourth of July!

Today, our great nation is 235 years old.  Actually it is older than that, but we did not declare independence from Britain until July 4, 1776.  Happy Birthday America!
