American pride has fallen off a cliff - Only 51% of Americans say they are extremely or very proud of being American, down sharply from 82% in 2013. Surprised? I didn’t think so… Hard to be proud of a country run by a felonious, rapist pedophile, eh? A president who disses long-time allies and admires dictators, starts meaningless and costly wars, all while ignoring the #affordability crisis and polarization at home. SAD🥺 https://www.axios.com/2026/06/17/america-250-religion-race-patriotism #RepublicansDidThis #patriotism #TrumpRegime #AmericaFirst
American pride has fallen off a cliff

America's 250th will test its shared story.

Axios
For much of American history, #patriotism and #racism have been synonymous. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1965, #MattHerron photographed #segregation-loving #Mississippi pigs attacking five-year-old #Black child #AnthonyQuin for holding onto an American flag at a voting-rights protest.
Today we commemorate the courage and strength of our country's past demonstrated at Bunker Hill We pay tribute to the individuals who stood for our freedom and cherish their lasting impact. However, we are working, if you are celebrating, call us when you are done. #justcalldrpam #History #Patriotism #AmericanRevolution #BunkerHill #Heritage

Today in Labor History June 14, 1877: The First American Flag Day was declared by US government (on this 100th anniversary of the flag’s creation). Howard Zinn said, "There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people." Writer Sinclair Lewis has been misattributed as saying “When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” He did write “It Can’t Happen Here” (1935) a dystopian novel portraying the U.S. under a fascist dictatorship. It describes the rise of Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, a demagogue who is elected President of the U.S. in much the same way Trump was elected: by promising economic and social reforms and promoting a return to patriotism and "traditional" values.

Happy 251st Birthday to the U.S. Army. 🎂🇺🇸

One of the best ways I know to honor that is to show up for the people who served.🗽

Rojie asks:

What’s that one song that you keep going back to when you’re in a funk?

That’s tough to say. I’m in a funk most every day and I listen to a lot of music so if there were an official list it might be pretty long. I suppose narrowing the list down might depend on what shade of funk I’m in.

What puts a person in a funk? Thinking about the reported 10+ million taxpayer dollars to pay for police and security and crowd control for the UFC Freedom 250 today could do it. Looking at the heat out there I feel sorry for the fighters. I suppose if I’d around 1,500(?) years ago I would have also felt sorry for gladiators in the Colosseum.

Here’s a funkbuster.

War and patriotism, they do seem to be a frequent source of some pretty good music.

Jangan pernah sebut orang yang mengkritisi Pemerintah sebagai tidak mencintai negara dan tidak patriotik. Justru mereka mengkritik karena merupakan patriot yang mencintai negaranya.

(default) patriotism for a place that you were born seems sad to me & i'll never understand it. you don't *have* to love where you landed by an accident of birth; but you should *want* to shape from wherever you live a place that people dream of being. *that* is what should make you proud about where you call home: that you helped make it beautiful & welcoming.
