Independence day. This year celebrating with a "twist".
"Work as if you live in the early days of a better nation" -Alasdair Gray
Because although these are the painful final days of the halfway-decent nation we once knew, they're also the early days of the better nation we finally can become – if we don't surrender hope. If we work for it.
The United States is dead. Long live the United States.
This is the best #FourthOfJuly thread. The best one. If you're demoralized (and who isn't?), please please read this bracing tonic from @sarahtaber for your own sake:

B. I rarely ask for myself, but if you want to help me support my grandkids (5 of them) put a note TIP or something. Anything I can do to equip them with educational tools and experiences to achieve parity, I am most grateful for.

#FourthOfJuly
I don't talk much about the damage the #Colonization of North America and the subsequent #Independence of the #UnitedStates has done to my personal family. And I probably never will, but it has been substantial, even to this very day.
Certainly I confront what the land and resources theft, what the genocide and enslavement of millions of people has done to my people more than my mother or grandmother, who were much more shell shocked than I am.

#PPOD: Astronomers combined observations from three different observatories to produce this colorful, multiwavelength image of the intricate remains of Supernova 1987A. The central structure visible inside the ring in the Hubble image has now grown to roughly half a light-year across. Most noticeable are two blobs of debris in the center of the supernova remnant racing away from each other at approximately 20 million miles per hour.
