I am so grateful my school had a military history class elective and I that I was able to take it. It’s the only place I learned about Washington pre-1776.

[David Petersen 🇺🇸 🦅🌎⚓️1A 2A 🥃 @DIPetersen]

I saw Young Washington yesterday. I’m convinced that our American History is a lot richer than what is taught in school. Our educators should be ashamed. I hope there is a sequel.

WATCH: The Boston Pops performs Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture with perfectly choreographed cannon fire from the U.S. military.

As God, country, and the composer intended.

Every. Single. MLB. Game. Is. Blacked. Out. Today.

Surely that’s how you grow the game.

[Selene Mariposa @Selene_Mariposa]

America turns 250 today.

Let me read back the resume.

We started by telling a king to pound sand, in writing.

By 1803 we bought half a continent from France for about four cents an acre.

We fought a war with ourselves and somehow stayed one country.

We strung a railroad across the entire thing.

We handed the world the lightbulb, the telephone, and the airplane in about thirty years flat.

Then a man named Willis Carrier invented air conditioning and made half the planet actually livable.

You are welcome, Texas. You are welcome, Dubai.

Twice the whole world caught fire, and twice we showed up and helped put it out.

We split the atom.

We put men on the moon in 1969.

Then we went back and hit golf balls up there, because why not.

We invented jazz, blues, rock and roll, and hip-hop, and the whole planet is still dancing to it.

We put a burger and fries on every corner of the earth.

We built rockets that fly themselves home and land standing straight up.

We flew a helicopter on Mars.

We launched a car into actual space and it is still out there cruising.

We also invented ranch dressing and somehow talked the entire world into putting it on pizza.

Priorities.

We even invented three of our own sports so we could win them.

Baseball, basketball, and football.

Real football, the kind with hands, because we named it and we are not taking corrections.

The rest of the planet can keep soccer, which is fine, we are hosting it in our backyard this summer anyway.

And yes, Canadian football exists, wider field, extra man, one fewer down, and we try very hard not to think about it.

Frankly it was generous of us to invent our own games.

If we put all that energy into soccer, nobody else would ever lift that trophy again.

We would win it so often they would just rename it the America’s Cup and hand us the keys.

You are welcome for the suspense.

And in 2026 we threw a birthday so big a German tourist live-tweeted our gas stations to 750,000 people.

Not every chapter was clean.

We argued, we stumbled, we fixed what we broke, and we kept building.

That is the whole trick.

Two hundred and fifty years in, and we are still the loudest, brightest, most improbable experiment on the map.

Not bad for a country that started as a strongly worded letter to a king.

Happy birthday, America.

On this day in 1776, the United States was actually born. Not July 4. July 2. That's the day the Continental Congress voted to break from Britain, and John Adams was so certain of it that he predicted July 2 would be the great American holiday forever. He nailed everything except the date.

The vote came down to the wire, and one man had to ride through the night to save it. Delaware's delegation was split, one for independence, one against, which meant the colony's vote canceled itself out. The tie-breaker, Caesar Rodney, was 80 miles away in Delaware. He got word that he was needed and rode all night through a summer thunderstorm, sick and in pain, boots and spurs still on, and made it into Philadelphia just in time to cast Delaware's vote for independence.

The other holdouts fell into place too. In Pennsylvania, the men most opposed, including John Dickinson, deliberately stayed away from the chamber so their colony could swing to yes. South Carolina came around for the sake of a united front. When the roll was called, twelve colonies voted for independence and not a single one voted against. New York simply abstained, waiting on permission from home.

And so, on July 2, 1776, it was done. The colonies had legally, officially declared themselves free. The next day Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that this day "will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival," with "pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations." Fireworks and all. He was describing the Fourth of July two days early.

So why do we celebrate the 4th? Because that's the day Congress approved the final wording of the document explaining the decision, the Declaration of Independence. The vote to be free happened on the 2nd. The paperwork got finished on the 4th, and history remembered the paperwork.

The country was actually born in a rainstorm and a roll call on July 2, thanks in part to one sick man who refused to let a tie decide the fate of a nation.

[Céad Míle Fáilte @ColeyMick]

Jaylen Brown thank you for everything you gave to the Celtics and more importantly the city of Boston. Never in my life have I seen an athlete embrace the city the way you did and that will never be forgotten.

[Matt Devitt @MattDevittWX]

Thank you! 🙌🏻

[Jared Carrabis @Jared_Carrabis]

Bro tapped his helmet. Didn’t say a word. Softest ejection in MLB history.

[Jared Carrabis @Jared_Carrabis]

If you toss Willson Contreras on a night like this, you are a complete fucking asshole.

Wilyer flashing that gold glove. ✨

Scotland residents want to stay in Boston forever!

Saying goodbye to the Tartan Army is going to be the heartbreak of the summer

[Davey @RVonD]

I just read that the Scots made an official tartan for Massachusetts and I need a kilt immediately.

[Laura McConnell @LauraFMcConnell]

“What are you doing after work every night this week?”

Me: “scrolling for hours watching videos of Scotland fans in Boston and liking every comment that Americans make about Scotland fans.”

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

Scotland fans have donated nearly $30,000 to charities in Providence as a thank you for welcoming them for their World Cup matches.

• $10,000 to the children's hospital cancer unit
• $10,000 to soccer for underprivileged kids
• $6,500 to help kids learn bagpipes
