No, Jeff. Just like in our favorite series, "V," now is the time to stand up and show that we're here and we aren't going away.

In a time when our democracy feels tested and rights can feel under threat, it’s more important - NOW - than ever to celebrate Independence Day as a reminder of what we’re fighting to protect: liberty, equality and justice for all.

The Declaration of Independence isn't just words on a page. It's a set of aspirations that the Founding Fathers hoped the United States would live up to.

It galls me that ultaconservatives have attempted to co-opt patriotism and love of country. Moderates and liberals love America just as much as everyone else. Don't let ANYONE - especially these grifters - steal your love and celebration for YOUR country.

Happy Independence Day, buddy!

There is an event at LA city hall on the 4th calling to “End the Occupation”. The train goes very close. It’s a patriotic thing to do.
