Happy 4th

Jose can't you see, right behind you is ICE
You might try but you'll fail, to cross over our border
When you come to this land, be it day or at night
We will send you back home, so just quit all your scheming

Our man Donald's out there! - telling you to be scared!
Each day and each night, so you better beware

Jose, yes our star spangled banner still waves
But you can't live here for free, so go back to your cave.....

I won’t be celebrating the 4th of July this year.
What are we celebrating?
Slave owners balancing their prison camp books but rejecting taxation by the nation that sold them their enslaved men, women, and children, which nation itself soon outlawed slavery leaving us to trade those humans stateside like cattle except without the humanity accorded cattle?
The slave owners’ proud progeny now making the teaching of this history illegal?
Exceptional America building fenced camps in our most uninhabitable parts for the people tragically seeking the freedom we advertise like detergent and doing the work we won’t, and selling merch bragging about the cruelty?
A new law, passed just today, that will, literally, kill the poor and reward the rich,
And the White?
Your fireworks this year are like gunshots to our souls.

Anyone else wondering why there are few if any plans to recognize America's semiquincentennial?   I know the word doesn't roll off the tongue nearly as easy as 'centennial' or 'bicentennial', nor do I expect a rehash of the over-the-top 'Bicentennial Everything' we had in 1976 (as well as the five years or so leading up to it), but still — 250 years is a significant milestone.

There is a shit ton of stuff planned for the 250th in Boston, so much that they’ve planned a year off from the very popular music festival Boston Calling.

I’m watching Boston Pops 4th fireworks spectacular as I type this and it’s like, Boston never heard of the concept too much of a good thing. It’s never ending almost boring like hurry up and get to the end already lol.

I feel sure there must be a ton of stuff planned in DC next year as well?

But of course what kind of country will we be celebrating a year from now? Tonight I spent half the patriotic sing along crying sad tears.
