The irony of Mike Johnson calling the No Kings Rally a Hate America rally, while protecting his personal king from pedophile exposure by not calling back the House and swearing what will be the final needed signature on the Epstein discharge petition is classic cognitive dissonance.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

This image is a humorous and patriotic cartoon featuring an anthropomorphic bald eagle, a well-known symbol of the United States. The eagle is lounging comfortably on a red-and-white striped beach chair near the ocean, enjoying a relaxing moment. It is wearing sunglasses and sipping a drink with a straw, evoking a casual, summer holiday vibe—perfect for the 4th of July setting.

The eagle is holding a newspaper dated July 4, 1776, which references the Declaration of Independence, an iconic document in American history that marks the birth of the nation. The speech bubbles from the eagle add a playful touch: one says, "Think we all need a refresher course," and the other responds, "Especially now!" This implies a topical commentary on the importance of remembering and understanding the foundational principles of the United States, especially relevant during times when patriotism or civic knowledge might be challenged.

Artistically, the cartoon combines national symbolism—the bald eagle, the stripes reminiscent of the American flag, and the Declaration of Independence—with a lighthearted tone. The relaxed beach setting contrasts amusingly with the serious historical document, making the message both engaging and thought-provoking.

In summary, this image blends humor, patriotism, and a gentle call for reflection on American history, fitting well as a 4th of July message shared from a European perspective.

Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
