15th August 2024: As we celebrate our 78th Independence Day, we reflect on the hard-earned freedom our forefathers fought for. Their sacrifices paved the way for our nation's independence. Let's honor and respect them, and salute their bravery. At the same time, recent acts of cruelty and injustice remind us that we still have work to do. These challenges serve as lessons we must learn from to build a better society. But let’s not forget the brighter side—our small achievements and the unity we can be proud of. Each of us has a role to play in removing the scars of injustice and ensuring a future where justice isn’t something to fight for, but a basic right for all. As we raise our flag today, let’s recognize both our struggles and our progress. Together, let’s strive to ensure safety and dignity for everyone. Happy Independence Day! 🇮🇳 **#IndependenceDay2024 #SaluteToHeroes #FreedomAndUnity #JusticeForAll #ProgressAndPeace**

Today, many people in the United States are celebrating this country's independence from monarchy. And yet we are not free. Not free from racism. Not free from patriarchy. Not free from warmongers. Not free from corporate greed. Not free from income inequality. Not free from exploitation. Not free from microplastics. Not free from police brutality. Not free from the prison-industrial complex. Not free from media companies that fan the flames of division so they can monetize our anger and fear. Not free from elected representatives who represent themselves more than the electorate. Not free from special interest groups, both here and abroad, that are actively subverting the foundational principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution of the United States, and Bill of Rights. If we can ever achieve our independence from all those forces, not just a silly king, it will truly be a day of celebration. 🫶

Today, as we celebrate Independence Day, we are reminded of the incredible journey our nation has undertaken to secure and maintain the freedom we hold dear. This day is more than just a celebration of our independence from colonial rule; it is a testament to the enduring spirit of liberty that defines us as Americans. Freedom is a precious gift, but it is also a responsibility. It requires vigilance, effort, and a commitment to the values that underpin our society. As President Ronald Reagan once said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." These words serve as a powerful reminder that freedom, if not actively preserved, can slip away. It is incumbent upon each of us to ensure that the principles of liberty and justice are upheld for future generations. Let us honor the sacrifices of those who fought for our independence by remaining steadfast in our dedication to these ideals. On this Independence Day, let us reflect on the meaning of freedom and renew our commitment to safeguarding it. As we enjoy the festivities with family and friends, let us also take a moment to appreciate the profound significance of this day and the enduring legacy of those who have come before us. Happy Independence Day! #IndependenceDay #FourthOfJuly #July4th #Freedom #Patriotism #Liberty #AmericanPride #USA #CelebrateFreedom #RedWhiteAndBlue #LandOfTheFree #HomeOfTheBrave #StarsAndStripes #HappyFourth #AmericanSpirit

Happy "Hump" Day, Today, many people are off or have the option to take off to commemorate a recent holiday, "Juneteenth"! According to Wikipedia, "Juneteenth, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name is a portmanteau of the words "June" and "nineteenth", as it was on June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. Although this date commemorates enslaved people learning of their freedom under the Emancipation Proclamation, this only applied to former Confederate states. There remained legally enslaved people in states that never seceded from the Union. These people did not gain their freedom until the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution on December 6, 1865" (https://lnkd.in/gnt_Um4a). It begs repeating that slavery continued for almost another 3 months until December in the states that never seceded, waiting for the ratification of the 13th Amendment and giving slave holders an opportunity to plan and prepare for their new life without slavery and economic loss of their former "property". As for the slaves in these states and the slaves in Texas, they continued playing their assigned roles as slaves, until they were informed and realized that they had been granted legal freedom, which would supposedly be protected and enforced by law, by the legal system, and by law enforcement. However, as we might recall from history and Reconstruction, this freedom was not really guaranteed, and the quality of life would be threatened right through Reconstruction, the Civil Rights Movement, and many would argue, to this very day. I bring this up, because freedom is a concept that cannot be taken for granted and which we must be on guard and fight for to maintain because it can be taken from us at any time not just by physical means or by force, but more insidiously through psychology be promoting limiting beliefs, denying us our ability to dream, and taking away our hopes of mobility and advancement. So, this means that we need to be vigilant to be able to continue enjoying our freedom in every sense because it was so hard won and can be taken away so easily. In closing, this is why we commemorate Juneteenth, to ensure that we continue to enjoy and celebrate our freedom without taking it for granted and to remind us to stay alert for places where circumstances in our lives and social situations may be starting to try to erode what we and our prior generations have fought so hard to win for us. Because of them, we are able to dream of a brighter future, to strive for further financial and time freedom, and to work to craft the life that we desire.

I’d also like to to thank all of the brave people who gave their lives to obtain and keep our independence for the last 248 years. Original Declaration (link below to read all of it): WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present King of Great-Britain is a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public Good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing Importance, unless suspended in their Operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the Accommodation of large Districts of People, unless those People would relinquish the Right of Representation in the Legislature, a Right inestimable to them, and formidable to Tyrants only.
