I've never heard this before. It's actually the most interesting and moving version I've ever come across. The changes from the standard version we always hear are ingenious. Considering I'm feeling anything but patriotic lately (to say the least..) I rather enjoyed it. Thank you for posting.
Very good doggo! 👍
One of the worst lies liberals ever bought was that doing things the "right way" would cause meaningful change. I'm willing to get arrested for doing what's right (been there, done that). But if you think the revolution will be fought with peaceful protests... you have no reverence for history.
A) Just being alive right now in the U.S. can lead to 'a knock on your door by masked, unidentified men'. B) Tim Cook's bending the knee to Trump tells me the reality may be different than what is represented in that article. C) If it comes out for Android I'll take my chances to help others.
Hats off to Joshua Aaron for a very brave stand, and perhaps the smartphone app of the year. Hoping for an Android version, checked, as of today its only for Iphones. If it comes out for Android it goes on my phone same day. 👍
The right words are only useful when they occur AT THE RIGHT TIME. The right time was 6 months ago, doing it day in/ day out, till a vote. Doing it when the vote whip was already a done deal felt more like the denouement of a tragicomedy. Emailing for donations right after, despicable. Unimpressed.
Wasn't feeling the 4th this year. You??
One more in a long line of hit pieces by NY Times against Progressive candidates. Even if you think Mamdani did something unforgiveable (I do not!), find me a 17 or 18 year old that never showed less than stellar judgment, we can consider that person for Mayor instead. 🖕-> @nytimes.com
A Tennessee man pardoned by President Trump for taking part in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been sentenced to life in prison for hatching a separate plot to assassinate the law enforcement officers who investigated his role in the riot. Just another one of Trump's 'heros.'
Just the beginning. First it's those they claim are immigrants. Then it'll be good enough if you speak with a discernible accent. Then registered Democrats. Then those who don't appear to have white skin. Then anyone who has a bad word about Trump. This is Trump's Gestapo. They must be stopped.
If you think the ICE madness begins & ends with immigrants you're kidding yourself. By the '28 Pres election it will extend to anyone who disagrees with Trump, anyone who speaks out against him. That's where a next Civil War will be fought. Mark it down, I pray you come back to tell me I was wrong.
I never "begged" him to walk through the door when it's too late and show us what he's got. In fact, I never begged Pelosi's water boy to do anything. Sorry, but I find your logic kinda screwy 👎. Either he helped the cause or he didn't. The only thing Jeffries did here was say, 'look at me'.
I don't get why some are celebrating Jeffries over his hours-long speech. The time for high voltage oratory was months ago, yet day in and day out Schumer & Jeffries remained mostly silent. Doing it now when passage of the bill was a fait accompli was little more than theatre that changes nothing.

Unfortunately, *weak tea* has become the Democratic leaders brand.
Either the mainstream media reporting of the Sean Combs trial was seriously off base, or the NYC District Attorney needs to do some prompt and rigorous investigation of the jury on this trial to make certain Combs and his money didn't get to any of them. Something seems off.
Republicans should chuck the Village People campaign entrance crap and just go with this... it's far more appropriate for sick, disturbed people like Nancy Mace.
Sorry Micah, but I feel as if you're arguing that 98% shitty is a whole lot better than 100% shitty. Fact is, it's still SHIT. Bottom line, this is what Schumer caved for on cloture, this is where keeping gov't open got us. Now go listen to Monty Python, "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life".
Today is the 'finale' of Schumer's decision to keep the government open a few months ago. This is where it got us! I'm a NY'er, and am ashamed to say I voted for this do-nothing loser. He's so past his "Best By" date it's a joke. He and Gillibrand must go!!! *New blood* or say adios to democracy.
Elon Musk, piece of garbage extraordinaire, who took jobs away from 1000's and uses his wealth to buy (or rig) elections, now complains his beloved Republicans don't 'care about the people'! 👿The insanity just doesn't stop👿.
What it should have meant to Bash was Jeffries will ask ChatGPT to write a 'strongly worded letter' in the style of Chuck Schumer. Unfortunately, our Dem leaders have become so schooled in the art of worthlessness any hope of them saving us from Trump is a loser. We need to send them all packing.
Jeffries needs to stretch, warm up, get limber, and then go fuck him self harder than anyone has go fucked themselves before
Since 2015 Dems have made it clear, they want Party elites, not voters, deciding who does/doesn't get to run for office. After Obama they stopped caring what voters had to say. Mind-boggling! The Congressional Minority Leader is on TV stating uncertainty if he's on board with the will of Dem voters.
Hakeem is 'Stock Maven' Pelosi's guy, and you'd have to look long and hard to find Pelosi supporting a Progressive -- expect no different from Hakeem. As bad as Repubs are, we need to start accepting Dems are just as lousy, just in different ways. Dems, Repubs, Supreme Ct, all need to go yesterday!

This is insane. There is a madman in Washington creating fiscal policy that will bankrupt America, stifle innovation, and is just morally reprehensible. But a “socialist” who wants to be mayor of NYC is what causes Wall St to panic? Just clowning on themselves.
lol, I have a hard time imagining Hochul chatting up with Crackhead Barney. I think her security would've had her moved away very quickly. 🤣 As for Schumer, the man is hopeless on any level I can possibly even think of.
My favorite Zohran moment of this campaign. And why, more generally, he won:
I don't feel able to make assessments of who's more, and who is less, 'regular' or 'normal'. What I'm confident of is any other major office candidate I've seen would have had security staff escorting her away in seconds. I give big credit to Zohran for taking it in stride, allowing her to speak.

I get what you're saying. But, lol, I don't know if I think of the woman identified as "Crackhead Barbie" to be 'regular folks'. For a guy running for Mayor of the City of New York, maintaining poise and good spirits with that woman was in my opinion an above and beyond moment that deserves credit.
💙🕯️Hey Sass, thank you for including me, and sorry for late reply. Been running around all day.🕯️💙 🤝Following & RP'd🤝
This is great, and it does say a lot about why he won. lol, can you even imagine how Schumer or a Hochul would have handled this?? As nutty as the moment is, Mamdani handled it with total respect and without flinching. Good for him, and good for you for catching it! Excellent job.
Elevated hate, fear mongering over Zohran Mamdani since his win is pathetic. Dems & Repubs showing hi-octane contempt for Progressives since 2015. Determined to hold $$ & privilege no matter the cost to the rest of us. Change comin' anyway. You can join, or get steamrolled, but *change is coming*.

Just one more despicable, repugnant example of zero humanity in the Trump administration. I can only hope that one day she's tied and bound to a rack in the middle of Times Square so that people can walk by and spit on her. That's the fate Pam Bondi deserves!

I simply think of him as one hell of an idiot. I remember when, just after elected, he called himself the 'future of the Democratic Party'. Used to laugh at that, now I hope he was right. I want to see the old, worthless, do-nothing Dem leaders gone (like Adams will be), and new blood like Zohran.
My Dear Friend Sassy... 💙🔥🌹Thank you for including me!🌹🔥💙 I appreciate it 😊 I am in a celebratory mood today🎆 We've got a savvy, smart, young Bernie/AOC progressive running for NYC Mayor! Didn't think I'd see the day, completely blown away!☺️
Good f'n luck billionaire boys! Eric Adams couldn't win a dog catcher election in NYC. They'd have better luck pinning their hopes on an Anthony Weiner comeback
Why is it a big deal? Because it sends a message to those powerful rich groups that you can no longer buy an election. The People want Change! And they voted against the Establishment. This is just the start. We need new leadership in the Democratic Party. Young leadership with fresh ideas. 💙
💯 The seeds Bernie planted 10 years ago are finally blossoming! I wish Bernie had been given more of a chance instead of the Democratic establishment pols kicking him under the bus time and time again. But it's great to see it really starting to work now. I'm so pleased, and proud of NYC, today! 😊
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
So proud of my fellow NY'ers tonight! Though the Democrat establishment sure tried, they couldn't throw the Progressive candidate under the bus as they've done so many times. 🔥🎆🔥 Standing "O" for #ZohranMamdani 🔥🎆🔥
💙🔥♨️🌡️Thank you Sassy!🌡️♨️🔥💙 🤩Hope this message finds you well😍

Another punch to the gut. I'm starting to envision the day when WE, the majority of Americans, storm the White House and the Supreme Court, like J6, and take back control of this country. Because if we don't, this country is fucking done.
My dinner will consist of ice cream.
It's all you need to know.... 🤦♂️
Good to hear it Sass, because AC or not, I'm starting to look like a burnt english muffin 🤣 The 'feels like' temp is over a 100!!!! 🔥

It’s heartbreaking to watch a nation that once inspired the world now struggles to hold itself together. This isn’t the America we believed in! As a neighbor, it’s painful to watch the fire spread from a home we once admired. The #DefendersOfDemocracy stands with our American brothers and sisters!
The sadness of what's become of this country is overwhelming. If this despicable Trumpism is allowed to continue we will soon all need to be carrying weapons if we're to have any hope of survival.
I am very appreciative of the sentiment expressed. However, I found it quite ironic that an AI character is used to ask us to 'make America human again'. Is the underlying message that real humans can't achieve this any longer? Sadly, in these Trumpian times that may be the case for many of us.
I grew up in an era of famine in Africa. Images of the starving & dying and the parts we played are still part of me. My American plate was rather strangely lacking, but I knew enough to be grateful for those morsels of life and I had a need to share. The human beings of Gaza are part of who we are.
I assure you, it wasn't my intention. 😊
I'm so exhausted by the number of times in my life I've had to pull up this song and listen again. But here we are... Edwin Starr, "War". ☹️😔☹️
F'n President Breck Girl. Thank you moronic U.S. voters!
It's a replay of 'Bernie'. Regardless of how bad and impoverished their choice of who to support, they will NEVER choose the person that would stand in the way of their money flow. It's an ongoing and pathetic failing of the Democrats, and its why they will persist in losing the big elections.
Clinton endorsement of Cuomo a stark reminder; Dems may be infinitely better than Republicans, but when push comes to shove the hierarchy always supports keeping those who have been in power to remain in power, *even when they're pure shit*. It's a fundamental failing. VOTE #Mamdani for real change!

NYC was dumb enough to give it to Adams, why expect any better this time around? Despite that, I did my early vote for Mamdani and am doing my best to keep hope alive. Remember, 'It ain't over till it's over.' Get out and vote, and let the powers that be know you want *change*.

Good info, thank you Gayle! 👍
🤝 And I shake yours my friend.😍
Did early voting today, definitely not for Cuomo, I can tell you that much. Very disappointed when I read that some of the latest polls still have Cuomo ahead. Hoping fellow NY'ers realize someone young, new, with fresh ideas is where it's at, not the billionaire's water boy. #Mamdani ->👍
What you're saying makes sense, but to me the issue is still that some group is trying to latch on to the success of NoKings and make it appear their plans for July 4th are part of that entity. Until I hear it from NoKings, July 4th has nothing to do with them, at least as far as I can tell.
Interesting. Doing it on a Thursday would likely work out like May Day did, kinda low turnout. Nonetheless though, I still think its a bad idea to conflate what 50501 is planning with NoKings. Two separate organizations, and they should be treated as such.
Absolutely! It looks to me like someone is attempting to co-opt 50501's idea about doing something on July 4th, and make it seem like its part of NoKings. Given how successful NoKings was, IMO that would be a very poor idea. Hopefully people get on track with understanding its 2 different things.
Yes, something is off. Absent some further clarifying information, it appears people are being misinformed.

Seeing posts/memes tonight for 'NoKings2 - July 4th'. There may be some confusion regarding this. Next No Kings protest is scheduled for July 17th in honor of the 5th anniversary of John Lewis' passing. July 4th seems to be something sponsored by 50501. 2 different things, *clarification necessary*.

You have my vote, but wish you would talk more about what you can come up with to undo the 💩 rent stabilization increases under Adams. Freeze isn't enough. We need a roll back. A million rent stab voters in NYC would be thrilled to support a candidate with an idea or 2 on that. Get creative friend!
Yes, I have AC. The humidity does get awful here. Summer's in NYC are the pits.
oohhhh!! That sounds nice Sassy! I just learned there's no emoji here for jealousy or envy 😟 It's supposed to be high nineties several days here over the next week. With the humidity the 'feels like' will be around 100 or higher. Some time you'll have to tell me what rentals are like out by you...
I have a feeling the author of that article was hoping the scare would work. After reading, I looked up some other articles by her. Suffice to say, I think I'm a lot more of a lefty than she is😂 And I could truly care less if the owner of Gristede's moves to NJ or Florida out of spite for Mamdani.
Stole??? Nah! I just borrowed it from somewhere that I can't even remember anyway... 🤣 Hope you're well my friend! We're about to have a heat wave in my parts. At around 100 degrees I turn the computer off 😨
💙🕯️Thank you Sassy, much appreciated.🕯️💙 So funny, I was going to use the last 'fresh meme' I have left, and then go out and look for some more.... and that last one is the one you have on this post!!🤣😂😅 Time for a new meme quest I guess.
