250 years and most native tribal groups continue to not be federally recognized. Embarrassing!

cowboyhatesithere

Hey so a small thing that literally everyone who sees this is capable of is correcting any “used to” statements about native people in this country.

“Native people used to live in this National Park” No. They still do.

“Native people used to tell these stories-” No. They still do.

“Native people used to use this plant as a natural remedy-” No. They still do.

Better yet, familiarize yourself with the tribes local to you. Odds are, they do not yet have federal recognition. You can still read the stories they have to share, you can share their ongoing battle for recognition with others, you can sign petitions and spread the word to others to do so as well. But do something.

do you guys know how hard it is to find 4th of july content that isn't: right wing nationalist, white women's tits and ass, lana del rey, anti-america.

i interact with a lot of europeans too, so even chats i'm in are just "fuck a certain nations political power" which i obviously don't expect any other nationality to celebrate or even acknowledge the holiday but, our government is not what today celebrates, and certainly not our presidents. and it seems that even Americans don't.. know that?

the adoption of the declaration of independence, that all. there was no federal government at the time, there was no president, no states, just people fed up with a king that didn't care about their rights (now obviously these weren't good people either. they didn't care about the rights of women, black people, and indigenous people). there was no article of confederation until 1781, the us wasn’t recognized until 1783, there was no constitution nor president until 1789, there was no bill of rights until 1791. if you're american i'd suggest reading the declaration, it might actually inspire you! especially if you hate the current people in power that don't care about us.

you can still critique everything wrong with this country without demonizing one of it's few good things

i need to see more leftists, bipoc, and women that celebrate (which btw i don't celebrate but 250 years is pretty big!!!) or at least don't hate the holiday posting stuff 😞

#4th of july #american independence day #independence day #if you hate and complain about the fireworks thats fine

Lord knows that the United States has and continues to commit atrocities. I can't justify that. And the current political situation here is scary as hell. But I love this place. I love the Atlantic Ocean and New York City and the Pacific Northwest. I love my Blue Ridge Mountains with my whole entire heart. I love cardinals and mockingbirds and kudzu and possums and black rat snakes and the way the woods smell in the mornings.

I love that Americans are known for complimenting strangers. I love that we fry everything, and that we do it well. I love 12-foot-high plastic Halloween skeletons in people’s yards and tacky Christmas lights that stay up too long. I love that we are an unabashedly goofy people.

I love bluegrass music. I love stepping. I love that there are always folklorico dancers in my town’s Mardi Gras parade. I love that my town has a Mardi Gras parade, even though most people here aren’t Catholic or French and didn’t grow up with any kind of Carnivale tradition. I love that if "Livin On A Prayer" comes on a pizzeria, at least one person at each table won't be able to stop themselves from singing along. I love that the middle school gym shakes to the rafters when families cheer for THEIR baby finishing eighth grade and that they bring balloons and bouquets and flower garlands to celebrate.

I love the 80 year old couple at our local No Kings protest. I love all the little kids there with their families, too. I love the brass band that always shows up at protests here and plays old union songs and gospel music. I cry like a damn baby every time I hear “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing.”

This country is horrible and selfish and destructive, but it’s also wonderful and kind and full of people loving and fighting and trying to make things better. And the people saying that there’s only one kind of real American, and that if you don’t look like they do or talk like they do or think like they do, then you don’t count, those people can go pound sand. I’m as real American as they come, and those people aren’t the only ones who get to love our country.

I love how, up in my small Maine town, everyone knows each other. Old people will tell anyone who listens their life story. I love the agricultural fair that happens every August, where young kids gawk at cows, and get together to ride the Ferris wheel. I love the demolition derby that happens on the last day, where you’ll get so wrapped up in all the excitement that, even if cars smashing into each other isn’t your usual cup of tea, you’ll still enjoy it. I love sitting in the field at my grandparents house, staring out at the mountains and field moths in the day, and watching the stars and fireflies at night. I love watching the group of people with their old boats make a little 4th of July parade each year on our lake, and joking with my grandfather that it’s for his birthday. I love my city in Massachusetts, where, even among a population of 80,000 I always seem to run into the same 20 people. I love how everyone who walks by my home will complement my mother’s garden. I love how even as a younger generation has been rapidly growing, we still have older people whose families have lived here for generations, who will never leave because this is their home. I love all of our seasonal college students who arrive from all around the world and flood the streets for 9 months, speaking in a beautiful myriad of foreign languages. I’m proud of the communal anger and uprising we all felt when one of our college students was kidnapped by the government. I love all the posters on street poles and trash cans, be they for a drag show thrift shop combo, a local gathering of communists, or simply someone wanting to put up a piece of paper and be seen. I love all the local restaurants I’ve been to a thousand times, and even though I know the menus by heart I still always check just in case I see something new. I love the community of old people who always have little protests on corners, who are angry and want change and want to be heard. I love our science labs and art museums, our beautiful old churches and our libraries, our corner stores and our cafes, our bookshops and our parks. I love my home.

Freindly reminder this July Fourth that:

- The American revolution was sparked by an unarmed Black man being shot by the police.

- The American revolution is an example of violent praxis agaisnt the state.

- Patriotism twords the United States did not exist before the formation of the United States. The revolution began because of economic exploitation and a supposedly democratic government following corperate interests instead of the will of the people.

- Every single conservative and neoliberal would have sided with the British if they lived in the 1700s. And those who oppose revolutionary politics today have no right celebrating a revolution.

Today I’m thinking about Black families whose ancestors built this country. Indigenous communities who were here before it. Immigrants who crossed oceans and borders believing in its promise. And everyone still waiting to feel safe, seen, and free.

The story of this land began long before 1776.
