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.
@TroddenTrail 99 out of 100 people will do what she did. That is why all cops should be the 1 out of 100 people who can manage a situation like that. Cops are supposed to be professionals at what they do, not be just be one out of the 99. If she wasn't wearing a badge, I would defend her.
Calling it now. They're going to make it too easy so everyone can have their sprites.
Then all we'll hear for the rest of the season is how boring it is because everyone collected every possible sprite.
Then towards the end of the season, it'll be video after video, post after post.. saying "If Fortnite doesn't lock in, GTA 6 is going to kill it for good!"
@DisTrackers Bro honestly. Banned on my phone, wouldn't load on my PC, and other phone kept refreshing automatically. I can only hope true fans and collectors won what I lost 🫠
@RexxDauzat@AFRICANDEMOC That's a large part of the problem. The process is currupt and broken. There isn't much representation anymore for the common working citizen in the US right now.
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
PSA: We won’t be taking any lessons on what evil is from people who protected Jeffrey Epstein raping children and/or looked the other way as Bibi Netanyahu committed a genocide in broad daylight.
How come when one white girl gets killed by an immigrant it’s demanded by MAGA that we say her name, but when a woman gets killed by her MAGA dad after dissing Trump, silence?

SAY HER NAME.
