America the beautiful, America the deeply fucked up
here’s to you on this July 4th
247 years ago, a bunch of rich white male enslavers who didn’t want to pay taxes founded America on a great set of ideals — freedom, equality and justice — and then went about implementing those ideals in the most fucked up way possible.
247 years later, we’re still fighting what often seems like a losing battle to guarantee everyone a share of freedom, equality and justice.
it’s exhausting, yet the struggle goes on.
never lose hope.
today, let’s rest. tomorrow, the fight continues.
here’s to you on this July 4th, America, you great big beautiful fucked up country.
HAPPY 4th 🇺🇸 to EVERYONE *NOT* PLEADING the 5th ABOUT the 6th ‼️
❤️🤍💙
I'm pretty comfortable with living in reality. I'm gonna die. The US was founded on slavery and genocide. Santa Claus is bullshit. But we have beautiful aspirations, and sometimes wonderful things happen. The planet is fucking amazing. I'm still proud of what America tries to be, even if it isn't. Other countries don't even try, or give a shit. I hate the New York Yankees, but the whole world wears their baseball caps. Good for us.
