#BenFranklin famously said at the signing of the #DeclarationofIndependence, "We must all hang TOGETHER, or we shall ALL hang SEPARATELY." The 23 #Democratic AG's are most ASSUREDLY hanging together to defend #democracy and the rule of law. They join @mspopok.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy

"Livingston [a teacher] began yelling and demanded that Barnwell stop to acknowledge the pledge, then physically assaulted her by pushing her on a wall, according to the lawsuit."
There is such a thing as toxic patriotism. Too many view flags and pledges with a religious fervor that leads violence reactions like this. They are incapable of comprehending the meanings of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution - seeing them as weapons to wield rather than principles to follow.

I declare independence from the USA. How do I notify the Department of State and request for official diplomatic relations with the USA?

But I must submit all my Hopes and Fears, to an overruling Providence, in which, unfashionable as the Faith may be, I firmly believe.

When a person is naturalized as a #US citizen, they receive not just a new #citizenship but also typically a few other objects: an American flag, a copy of the #DeclarationOfIndependence & the #Constitution, & a greeting from the president. Of these, the last is the most ephemeral—just a form letter—but it can reveal a great deal about how the writer thinks about the country he leads.
This week, the White House released #Trump’s new version of the letter.

So my child is studying the #DeclarationOfIndependence and was tasked with "summarizing" it. I got inspired and pulled up a dramatic reading of it.
...Then it got weird, because the list of grievances is... eerily familiar to today. (This is a thread post I hope it works, & forgive the abbrev.)

@ALittleBitOfEverything the #christiannationalists are attacking #timkaine’s remarks that “god given rights” (which the #declarationofindependence says is the basis of our #democracy ) is “what the Iranian government believes.”
#republicans counter that if government is the source of our rights, then government can take them away
How is that any different than the #christiannationalist’s using their interpretation of their god to taking our rights away?

A quotation from Abraham Lincoln
It was not the mere matter of the separation of the colonies from the motherland; but something in the Declaration giving liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but hope to the world for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance. This is the sentiment embodied in that Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1861-02-22), Independence Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. — Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.

The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. — I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

"we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."
That's called deciding to win.
Americans must reckon with the fact that President Donald Trump’s administration has largely abandoned the principles underpinning the Declaration of Independence. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/11/world/trumps-rejects-americas-founding-principles/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #declarationofindependence #usconstitution #donaldtrump #us #immigration #trade

A coalition to reiterate the #USA 's self-evident truths in defense of #democracy, I think. I like the idea, the #DeclarationOfIndependence ought to a common starting point. I'm curious to see where it goes.
