@MissConstrue@mefi.social I could not agree more! I found more photos from that event: https://historycollection.com/26-photographs-americas-1976-bicentennial-celebration/ It was good to scroll thru them. I was about five years older than the kid at the top of this photo. You can tell that they were glad to be part of a whole. And it was a hopeful time... we were getting our act together. We were righting wrongs. For context, these are the things that were on my mind at that time... The first #Oil #Crisis 🛢️ #Watergate 🕵️ #Racism and the #CivilRights Movement ✊🏾 The #VietnamWar (I was subject to the draft.) 🪖 The #ColdWar with its attendant #Nuclear Dread 🤯 My friends and I were particularly concerned about protecting the #Environment 🌲 , tried to avoid cars, and rode our #bicycles everywhere. 🚴 So what about the #Semiquincentennial? Let's say it's a celebration deferred. We need to get our act together, we need to right some wrongs, we need to start feeling AND acting like a whole again. We've made a start, we can do it, and when we're on the right track again I'll be there with you all to celebrate! 💕 🇺🇸

#GiftArticle The ‘#DeepState’ didn’t take down #Nixon. So why did #JDVance say it did? Nixon’s #Crimes, the #Courts, #Congress & the #FreePress drove #Watergate. Such a scandal of #crime & #corruption could easily happen again — especially in a nation where #Trump controls the #press, the rule of #law only applies to his enemies & the courts have been subjugated by a #corrupt #SCOTUS. #Trumpaganda #propaganda #Republicans #RevisionistHistory #UShistory #law #criminal

I WISH i HAD CAUGHT THIS SOONER... We all heard #JV try to downplay the seriousness of #Watergate last week, but Jen made the case Friday that Vance "inadvertently" pointed out that #Felon47 commits Impeachment-level crimes that make Watergate look like "a 12-hour news story" on a regular basis. (BTW: #CouchFker has no clue what he's talking about and I doubt even knows what Watergate was all about.)
