I choose to believe that the idea of America is not dead. The flag does not just belong to one political party, it belongs to all of us. Maybe thinking those things makes me an idealist. If I am, then oh well🤷🏽‍♂️.

Just some random food for thought today. 7/7

I use American flag imagery here because so many of my forebears suffered and died so that I could call myself an American, and so that is what I consider myself 1st.(Aside: It helps that I spent almost half my childhood overseas, so i always identified, and was identified as an American first). 6/

Though there have been steps backward periodically, the pendulum always has, and always will, swing harder back toward inclusion and true equality. An even cursory look back in American history from the past 150 years proves that. 5/

Many “someones” in my family tree must have had those thoughts on June 19, 1865. Those feelings are, in fact, also universal.

Conditions are still far from perfect socially in the United States, but progress has been made overall. 4/

If you believe in American freedom, you have to believe in it for all, not just some. Can you imagine learning two years after the fact that you are a free human being? Can you imagine the joy? The fear of the unknown? The possibilities of the future? 3/

While Juneteenth (Freedom Day) is billed as a celebration for us Americans of African descent, it’s actually a meaningful day for all Americans who appreciate learning about American history and who appreciate the word “freedom”. It’s not just some “racial holiday”. 2/

So basically Trump caved. Again. He’s trying to take credit for partially cleaning up a mess he created. BTW, the economy was better under Biden. Sigh…

I’m pretty sure Obama is as stressed about the current hellscape as anyone else. He put in the work to support Harris and to warn people about the coming menace, only to be rejected at the ballot box (if we take the vote at face value). He deserves a rest. Schumer, OTOH…🤬

I’m still upset about that, years later. I love Obama, but this one thing rubbed me the wrong way. Why didn’t he fight more at that time?
