Patriotism isn’t measured by silence or blind loyalty.
It’s measured our commitment to confront our nation’s failures because we believe in its promise.
Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation’s independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city’s waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

@mehdirhasan Yes, VAR is destroying life changing moments of joy for millions of people. But at least we know that FIFA is a respectable organization committed to the highest standards of integrity.
Voters have had it with incumbents who have helped maintain the status quo.
They want fighters who will get Big Money out of our politics and go to the mat for working people.
Voters do not simply want to return to the path we were on before Trump.
They want (and deserve) much more.
Many are asking me what do I make of last night and progressive wins across our nation.
I say the era of cliches delivered with charisma and charm is over.
This is a time for courage.
Voters want to know where you stand on the hard issues and whether you will fight for change in an unfair and lopsided economic and political system.
Are you for single payer healthcare?
For taxing the wealth of billionaires?
For taxing capital like we tax work?
For no more wars?
For recognizing the genocide?
For taxing agentic AI more than workers?
For a real living wage?
For abolishing and replacing ICE?
For money out of politics?
This is not an age for triangulation or obfuscation.

🥹🇨🇩 One of the most emotional images of the World Cup.
The dream may be over, but this DR Congo team leaves with its head held high.
As the final whistle blew against England, Yoane Wissa was overcome with emotion, while Cédric Bakambu proudly wrapped the Congolese flag around him. It wasn't a celebration of defeat, but a moment of pride for a nation that captured the hearts of millions.
They brought DR Congo back to the World Cup, inspired an entire country and earned the respect of the footballing world.
Some defeats say far more than many victories. ❤️⚽️
Congratulations to Melat Kiros on her extraordinary victory in Colorado over a 30-year incumbent House member.
The tide is turning.
Americans are tired of status quo politics.
They want representatives in Congress who will stand up to oligarchy and fight for working families.
