It feels really hard to celebrate my country right now. How do I celebrate a country with detention camps? I know there are great people here, who are working toward a better tomorrow, but it feels nuts to want to shoot off fireworks right now. Add on this massive heat wave that most of the United States is going through, and I'm just feeling trapped. Of course, then I feel ungrateful, I have a place to live, I'm not in a camp, I have food, and friends. My mental health feels less than stellar right now. Anyway, sorry for the brain dump, I just wanted to be honest, it feels so complicated right now, what do we do, how do we help? I love you all. I hope you're safe, cool, and have a good weekend. Feel free to share your thoughts and feelings too, if you want.

@RickiTarr I’m disgusted. We should be having a massive funeral for this flawed, murderous, lie of a democracy.

It’s called the ‘Freedom 250 celebration’, I guess their advertising hasn’t been so good as you seem to have missed it.

The "Freedom 250" org stole events from the "America250" org set up 10 YEARS AGO by Congress as a BIPARTISAN org. TFG stole money and ideas, and made it an entirely partisan party for his MAGA followers.
