[ad_1] Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair Mentally Unstable Ordinarily, July 4 would be a time to celebrate the virtues of America. But whatever virtues we once possessed, Donald Trump and his inner circle of family and sycophants have abandoned them.

In New York, two DSA members beat Democratic establishment candidates — including the sitting chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — in House primaries.

[ad_1] Photograph Source: Mike Tilley – CC BY 3.0 When I see my fiancée holding her phone, sharing something that’s given her so much joy, Hulaween at Suwannee, I watch the rosy color come to her cheeks and the sparkle that comes to her eyes like bursts of starshine. The delight washes over her as she gazes at Hulaween pictures and recounts her experiences, how much she’d like to go back. I see it. I want that for her.
