Cooper: I've seen governments and dictators rise and fall, people and places torn apart by lies and hate and war. And I've seen people do things and heard them say things that I could never have imagined. I've seen what we humans are capable of when everything else is stripped away. Yes, great acts of barbarism and brutality. But we are also capable of remarkable acts of heroism and kindness. It's a choice, and the choice is up to us

Let's hope 50 years from now, someone standing here or somewhere on the eve of the 300th anniversary of this republic will look back and say of us: they didn’t know if they would make it through but they did.

In Trump's America the Nazis march in the streets

Over 400 white nationalists are marching in DC for America’s 250th, with some flying a flag of an American enemy, and touting this moment under Trump as a “total Aryan victory.”

And people still want to pretend that immigrants are a threat to our country.

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

America, he is not worth this.

This unrelenting chaos that we find ourselves emotionally drowning in: the manufactured emergencies, fabricated culture wars, and conjured crises that hound us from the moment we rise exhausted, until the second our besieged nervous systems finally allow us a brief, though uneasy respite.

He is not worth the end of our Republic, an imperfect but determined two-hundred-and-fifty-year experiment in Democracy having its life and liberty choked out by a sneering, narcissistic, intellectually fetal, morally bankrupt bottom feeder.

🚨 THE TRUE FACE OF HEROISM IN VENEZUELA.

This photograph doesn't show politicians.

It doesn't show speeches.

It shows the men and women who have pushed themselves beyond exhaustion to save complete strangers.

Some pictures don't need an explanation.

This photograph today deserves a Pulitzer Prize.

A black girl sits in the middle of dozens of white supremacist patriot front members in Washington DC on the Fourth of July.

This is so representative of the country. We’re living in under Donald Trump right now. I want my country back.

I don't believe people outside of the military understand how significant this is. He is willing to lose his entire future over this. That's bravery like we haven't seen in a long time.

8 days under the rubble! “We found you Buddy! Don't lose faith, don't stop searching!”

And then this. He came to their voice. Miracles continue in Venezuela! ❤️🇻🇪

Beyond the staggering moral dimensions, the wholesale destruction of USAID in the blink of an eye last year will live as one of the worst foreign policy and national security blunders in American history.
@SamanthaJPower lists just some of the tragic, immediate costs and consequences below.
Longterm, it will mean a world less stable and free--with more violence and conflict; disease, pandemics and mass migrations. Neither oceans nor the military can shield the U.S. from the impacts.
AND this shameful and foolish abandonment will result in less respect for, and allegiance to, the United States of America.

🇺🇸 Trump at 8:00 PM: "Unlike Obama and Biden, we had a historic victory in Iran."

🇺🇸 Biden at 9:00 PM: "Yeah Absolutely historic. You haven’t been able to open the Strait of Hormuz for 109 days, 17 hours, and 38 min. It was open when I was in office. What a Loser." 😂 🔥

Absolute cinema by Biden🔥

People are traveling, gathering together, barbecuing, celebrating the 250th anniversary of this nation in various ways. And then we have this…

An American service member using his right to free speech, guaranteed in our nation’s constitution. A right given to all of us every day. Regardless of your political affiliation, read or watch Major Jason Watson’s full statement. It’s powerful. He has served and is serving. He is speaking up and out, and for that he was arrested.

Free speech, freedom of religion, a free press, the freedom to vote for who you choose, the freedom to love who you choose. These are all things we celebrate on our nation’s birthday. They are what makes us a democracy, among many other things. So as you gather, as you grill, as you plan your day, think of Major Watson, think of the freedoms you hold dear, and don’t just celebrate them, but make sure generations to come will have these rights as well! 🇺🇸

Maybe Vance doesn't know this history because it's in one of the books his administration banned.

The difference between Watergate and now is that back then, Republicans actually did something about a law-breaking president. Today, they only roll over for their cult leader.

🚨🚨🚨WHERE IS OUR PRESS ON THIS?

A woman told the FBI in 2021 that two men were openly roaming Trump Tower recruiting women to go upstairs and have sex with Trump.

She said one winked at her and told her Trump could "fulfill any of her desires." 🤢

When she said no, they handed her an invitation to a party at Jeffrey Epstein's house to meet Trump there.

She watched the same men approach other women, mostly blondes, 15 / 16 years old, for six straight months.

When she refused? They threatened her, told her they knew where she worked.

Imagine if this was Obama or Biden. It would never leave our TV screens.

But it's Trump, so let's move on from one shiny object to another.

A heartbroken elderly Albanian man says Jared Kushner has taken everything he spent a lifetime building, including his land, his home, and the future he hoped to leave behind for his children.

He says he returned home one day only to find his property sealed off behind barbed wire, with men in black uniforms standing guard and refusing to let him step inside the house he once called his own.

In a single moment, he says, the life he had worked for was gone.

“It was the end of the world. The end of the world.”

“I felt imprisoned.”

“They took my freedom.”

“They took my livelihood.”

“They took my land.”

[Meanwhile in Ukraine @MeanwhileInUA]

Vance: zero visits to Ukraine. Rubio: zero. Trump: zero. But Trump did invite Putin to the United States.

Senator Mark Kelly made it plain: not a single senior member of the Trump administration has set foot in Ukraine. Not Vance. Not Rubio. Not Kushner. Not Witkoff - the men supposedly driving the peace process.
They haven't been to the country whose future they're negotiating.

Someone is deciding Ukraine's fate without ever looking it in the eye.
