Kobe means so much to me. NBA 2k10 changed my life, growing my love for basketball, introducing me to YouTube and Chris Smoove, and getting me started on researching things on the internet by myself. I wore multiple… https://t.co/CrRt0RSryt

Both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died 200 years ago today, on the 50th anniversary of American independence.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today marks the 250th anniversary of one of humanity's brightest, strongest, and most influential dreams – the American Dream of an independent, free, and prosperous nation that defends people's freedom, faith, and the pursuit of happiness.

That dream has endured many trials. It did not merely survive – it has, for two and a half centuries now, served as an example for other nations and helped the entire humanity stand firm and become freer. This was especially important in the 20th century, when America helped save the world from the rule of tyrants and built the alliances and partnerships that, for the first time, gave a large part of humanity lasting peace and the opportunity to develop in freedom.

Now, in the 21st century, America's influence and importance are certainly no less. And we see that particularly clearly in Ukraine, which is fighting for its independence, freedom, and our people's right to happiness with much the same hope, the same purpose, and the same determination with which Americans won and defended their own independence.

We deeply value the support of the United States, especially now, during Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. American weapons – from the Javelins that President Trump decided to give to Ukraine to the Patriots that most reliably protect the lives of our people – everything the United States has provided to help us defend our country demonstrates the strength of the American spirit, American resolve, and American technology.

And we know the value of all these words better than anyone. When we ask America for Patriots, we believe that the values of respect for life and for people that prevailed 250 years ago will prevail again today. The world needs the kind of leadership that guarantees protection for freedom and for life.

I wish America a happy Fourth of July, the President of the United States and all Americans every success, and all of us around the world who value America – fruitful cooperation. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." That is what unites all of us – all who respect America and thank America today.

May the dreams of free people always triumph over the evil and hatred of those who seek to destroy freedom. America, thank you! I am confident that if we're in it together, we'll definitely achieve peace! Congratulations on your Independence Day!

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

From battlefields and memorials to parks and protected landscapes, the places cared for by the National Park Service help bring our shared history to life.

Continental Congress HAS SIGNED A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE! 

The UNITED STATES are OFFICIALLY INDEPENDENT from BRITAIN.

LIBERTY BELLS ring out throughout Philadelphia; the streets ERUPT IN ECSTASY.

Tangle is great!

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

In the last 30 days, 30,000+ new readers have joined @TangleNews

We have over 500,000 people signed up for multiple newsletters and should do $6m/year in revenue this year. 70,000+ paid subscribers. We have hired three full-time people in the last month, bringing our team to 15.

The "secret" is simple: Good content. Ideological diversity. Nuance. Elevating strong arguments from smart people on big, divisive topics, offering our own unique analysis, and then letting our audience make up their minds.

Following politics does not have to be sensational rage-bait. It doesn't have to be exhausting. It doesn't have to make you hate other Americans. You *might* have to read a bit, but you can change your mind, expand your views, more earnestly defend your convictions, all without going insane.

Pennsylvania has declared INDEPENDENCE from Great Britain.

Pennsylvania is the fourth colony to unilaterally declare itself as independent from the crown.

“Four years after ChatGPT comes out, the evidence will be much stronger that it’s expanding solo entrepreneurship than that it’s reducing overall employment” would have seemed to me a pretty rosy prediction from 2022, but it seems, for now, quite plausible
