Fourth of July reflections mix celebration and critique
I can’t find a link on BlueSky, but I would encourage everyone to listen to Obama’s Fourth of July remarks from today. Then, compare them to the absolute bile you’re going to hear from Trump tonight. Our government doesn’t have to be a walking clown show. Vote accordingly.
Keith D Johnson❌👑🇺🇦🇺🇸💚#TerraformEarth1st22I found this: A very good speech.👍
Ordinary Magic21Biden also had incredible thoughts to express about today.
Patric Reynolds16Great choices! …and then listen to mayor Mamdani’s speech, followed by Major Jason Watson’s speech on the steps of the Capitol right before he got arrested for protesting.
Debbie Hemenway13I'm not going to hear any bile tonight because I'm not going to listen to that jerk
KlamorKitten (She/Her)13Mamdani gave an amazing speech too.

Who loves America more than those who have sacrificed to make it free? Happy Fourth of July.
shropstermysteries.bsky.social4This is the 4th of July speech we really needed to hear. Thank you Mr. Mayor. 🙏🏾
informationbank.bsky.social2in listening to the mayor, I must have felt what people felt when they heard JFK give his inaugural or his Ich Bein Ein Berliner speech.
Valerie Stewart1A leader that brings out the best of humanity. Willing to help community. Wanting to be part of something that creates value to others. We needed him at this time! Someone who inspires our better selves.
NYC loves Zohran1Thank you, dear Zohran! Like @wutangforchildren.bsky.social , Zohran too is for the children. And the old farts too!

Happy Fourth of July — from two of the bald eagles I’ve seen recently in Chicago!
Robert Loerzel20* Disclaimer: The bald eagles are almost surely not trying to convey a message of "Happy Fourth of July!"
Jailoon5I think I heard "86...47"
momoduff.bsky.social3They need those talons in our crazy weather
Hold My Beer ❌👑🐸🇲🇽🇨🇦2So cool. We used to see a few in Michigan. Astonishing to see in real life.
Blondie1Beautiful, lovely, and amazing! Thanks for sharing! But, I have to say that there is so much ambient noise that I could not determine what they were saying. Please, I need to know! What is their message to us?
Janet Nestor1Amazing you were able to get that video.
LadyLiberty6They're just so beautiful! 😍
Happy Fourth of July! Don’t forget, this is our country, not theirs. This is my only Flag picture, I took this at the top of a hike between Port Hueneme and Malibu, California.
Andy Heppelle🇺🇸🇨🇦🏳️🌈🇺🇦🇬🇱🇺🇳🏳️⚧️14th of July, Independence Day🇺🇸 The Declaration of Independence🇺🇸 & U.S. Constitution🇺🇸 define our nation, where: “ALL men (people) are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights…life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” this song calls us to make those words true at last🇺🇸 youtu.be/i30SdcfEpSE
Thede1The new Chief Petty Officers (CPOs) started the tradition of placing a flag at that point in September 2002. Every year the new CPOs (also known as Chief selects) replace the flag and sometimes the pole.
Mike Davis • Feed After Midnight1You just KNOW he wanted an underage beauty pageant. Get the “facts” on MAGA 4th! Give a SHARE and spread the fun. mdavis19881.substack.com/p/fam-exclus...
willychase.bsky.social1It is our country. All of us. Who is the ‘they’ you don’t like?
One hour until NYC fireworks start and the fire boats have started their red, white and blue presentation. Tap for full size. I hope you are having a great Fourth of July!
Sandra ✒ SL Gore1Beautiful with those clouds 🩷
Q1My wife and had the pleasure of attending fireworks in NYC SPECTACULAR ! We have also attended fireworks display in Alpine Wyoming. Both were amazing.
HansKI1Fuck the fireworks from the Trump friends and dog eaters #China!
Colleen1Thanks for all of the stunning photos of the tall ships and everything else. 💖🇨🇦. Happy 250th. May better days be ahead.
Lynda..Hopeful Human🇦🇺🇺🇦🇨🇦 🐨🦘✌️🦉🦉1My heart breaks for all the Pets who will be traumatised by the noise. There are noiseless Fireworks available out there. Why can't Countries like yours..and mine, make the switch?
Pink Ear1What are you celebrating exactly?
Steve is fired up and says he just got back from Europe and for the first time in his life, he was embarrassed to say he’s American. Happy Fourth? Not while corruption, propaganda, and cult politics are replacing democracy. 🇺🇸 #USDemocracy #Pinks www.instagram.com/reel/DaWEjet...
Mark2I had no intention of celebrating today! I feel like our Republic is in the ICU on life support!
Louise2I had a Canadian man show me his passport at work....because he didn't want me to think he was american .....
Joyce H1All I can think is how great I felt about the US under Obama. 45 & 47 is like the old expression that life is a shite sandwich and we are forced to eat another bite everyday. No Hope. No good news. Desperate to just survive and loving those protesting.
