Happy? What’s so happy when a fascist regime is in power????

Too late.

I celebrated by hanging an American flag upside down in my window.

Our freedoms have been radically eroded. It’s not enough to be a Minnesotan right night. Being an American is a horror show.

Our own government eliminated freedom for most of us this week

We clearly have already taken our freedom for granted. Apathy rules in 🇺🇸 How many are grilling burgers right now, unaware that anything has even happened?

What freedom???

Happy Independence Day. We've made our declaration. Vive la révolution.

We love you and your beautiful family, Gov. Walz!! ❤️🤍💙

Freedom and liberty died the day #TraitorTrump took office

Sadly Governor Walz. Many Americans do. Its why we have the president we have.

Is the freedom in the room with us???

NOT SO HAPPY THIS YEAR, GOVERNOR.

Too late

Really fucking late don’t you think.

I’m aware. Ty.

And may we never take our freedom - period.

Happy 4th, Mr. Walz! Today's Quintalist puzzle is 4th of July themed! Perhaps you'll give it a try at Quintalist.com . Thanks!

Agree with the message but think it's too late.

Well said.

You mean the freedom that we are losing right now?

Its time to put everything else aside; they Just Funded their own SS, Gestapo and SA ( Brown Shirts) and are Bragging about it. They will come for anyone that doesn't toe the line: "which right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk tweeted will give MAGA “a standing army.” newrepublic.com/post/197612/...

Stazi.

There are 56 countries who are freer than we are today, governor. freedomhouse.org/country/scores

Our freedom has been taken while too many slept on what citizenship entails

Freedom? You have lost that.

It’s been taken for granted since citizens united.

There is no happy, just rich people cheering and gloating as they throw themselves a lavish party with fireworks as democracy dies. Let us eat the ashes, I guess🤬

Need a constitutional amendment that provides if THE PEOPLE of 2/3 of the states petition for an impeachment vote, one MUST be provided to the entire Union. A "Yes" vote of >70% invokes conviction & removal. This holds the Executive Branch accountable & takes a compromised Congress out of the mix.

Feel like I am counting down my days before ICE disappears me for being a trans woman. Not feeling very free today.

Sigh. Check your voter registration at Vote.org get your voter IDs in order. Especially you #Texas

Freedom is not free.

Too late for that, but not too late to claw our freedoms back.

May we someday take our freedom back.

Most Americans have already taken their freedom for granted. The culture of “it’s not my responsibility; someone else will do it” is alive and well in America.

Too many already have 🤦‍♂️

Happy Fourth of July Governor Walz also to your dear family.

I doubt you'd say this to the people who mean the most to you. And if you did, I hope they schooled you about 'reading the room'.

The parties will not save us Sign your strike cards, do something that matters. Make a stand. generalstrikeus.com

If you regain your freedom, hold it near.

Wake up to reality Tim. Freedom is gone. There is nothing to celebrate.

The only freedom is a pathway out of this murder fueled, nightmare country.

With all due respect…what freedom?

Blessings to you and your beautiful family ⚖️💙

Our what?

I’m not, but I (and a whole lot of other people) need some help keeping it, and some folks here never had it in the first place.

We already did. Now we have to live with that for the next 3.5 years or longer. Yeah, I am pretty cynical and jaded especially today.

Oh I think too many of us have. Unfortunately we all pay the price.

Sorry Gov. Walz don’t feel like celebrating much today. Hard to find cheer in my heart when so many people in our community are living in fear.

Posting here for the reach: #ICE Illegal actions defense & #PatriotFront is a terrorist organization youtu.be/RLhw-4t6P3U?...

#EscrowFICA NOW.

Is there a bookie that will take my bet that Delano won't be having any where near record attendance #IndependenceDay

I won't be in the celebratory body count, no. Boycotting everything today. #NoKings

A lot of people did recently.

THE BIG UGLY BILL HAD A MISTAKE IN IT! WE ALMOST WON THE RULE TO KEEP MEDICARE, MEDICAID, SOCIAL SECURITY BUT THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS BLOCKED IT!!! CRUEL PEOPLE! PASS THIS TO EVERYONE!!! youtu.be/66cPjj71sjw?...

What freedom? Unhappy Fourth of Fascism. Wake up.

Hard to celebrate at the moment! This is how I spent my morning

... except Americans kinda did.

youtu.be/yn2lecpmfRQ?... I don’t trust Farron Collins, but with America under Trump getting worst, he might be planning to rig the elections. Please watch the video, sir.

Americans military complex tries to rig everyone else elections. Why are Americans so arrogant to think they would not do it at home?

Minnesota count your blessings. You have a great governor.👍👏

Yes!!!

I’m in TX & we have Abbott. So, double whammy. No celebrating ‘freedom’ or ‘independence’ for us today, thank you.

17 million Americans lost their health care 18 million children will go hungry 😭😢😪💔

🇺🇸

I'd wager the american citizens in concentration camps on american soil and abroad certainly don't.

Anybody who does so today has not been paying attention.

Really, freedom in the US? Tim, every day is an advance of fascism. If you take for granted you can vote it out, that’s history, if you ever have an election again that isn’t hacked and fixed for your dictator the world would be shocked. It’s plan B time. You better have one.

Happy 4th of July!!

Oye! He could have been our VP! 😔

Amen to that

Your freedom has almost gone.

A fucking third of the country couldn’t give a shit and another third are earthworms.

Our freedom is long gone Tim

😢

It's Independence Day without Independence. Or liberties, or rights, or due process, or healthcare, or living wages. What's there to be happy about? Freedom is already been taken for granted.

Sorry. But we aren't free. Not even close. We are all slaves to the rich in this country.

It's a sham. A meaningless image now. She lifts her lamp no more, yet hides her face in shame.

I'd like to celebrate with you but this is how I'm really feeling.

First they take away women’s rights to choose, all because Ginnie ain’t getting enough from Clarence who sublimates by driving RVs around the country while she’s in back perfuming her you-know-what

Its hard to celebrate freedom while a large percentage of our population celebrates concentration camps..

Same.

Same & we lost our Freedom in this country.

Exactly this way. And the fear is palpable.

Same. Hard to celebrate our country right now.

bsky.app/profile/af68...

Too late, I'm afraid, governor. 

And remember, it was not the same for everybody… And still isn’t.

May we see our freedoms come to full fruition soon.

Freedom? You literally have slavery in your precious constitution.

Actual experience may vary.

What freedom, sir? Because this is how we all see it... If all of us aren't free, then NONE of us are truly free. Don't you get it? Independence Day is a celebration of FREEDOM, and we lost that freedom, now we are in the ruins of an authoritarian oligarchy, didn't you get that memo, sir? #resist

by “we all” he means the blusky comment section, 99% of people went along with July 4th like they do every other July 4th.

Did Elon help Trump rig this election?! Did they buy the presidency of the United States? I’m sure Elon is reconsidering his allegiance to tRump.

Of course Elon fucked w the election. Dems are too polite to question, fear of appearing hypocritical.

Nice.

Great collection of the information so far! Thank you 🙏 CO was completely within their rights to keep him off the ballot. Any state was. States decide how to do their elections & SC overstepped. 14.3 is crystal clear. He is illegitimate. This is a coup.

We love you. America messed up. You and @kamalaharris.com should be running the country with love support, compassion, ideas, solutions, no hatred, no ice, and no bullying. Wow. We sure messed up. Loce you and everything you stand for.

Too late Tim, we already did. Or have you noticed? Get off your ass and go to work for Minnesota👽

Happy 4th of July Minnesota!

It’s gone . The minute the Military broke the law and faced off their own people for a tyrant.

bsky.app/profile/af68...

I’m 100% convinced Musk hacked the machines for Trump. What do we do about it ?

bsky.app/profile/af68...

I know in my bones when it happened . November 2024 when Musk was running round with a chain saw Musk started talking about their “surprise and Trump started talking shite. He started talking about never having to vote again& stopped even trying Sadly convincing the military is the only option

bsky.app/profile/af68...

It is the 4th, but not a happy one. It may have been with you and Kamala leading.

Appreciate it Governor, but not to much to celebrate this year. 249 years was a good run though.

Happy 4th Governor!

RIP to the United States of America. 🪦 😞 The Land of the free for the far "Right/White" people & their deranged mad tyrannical wannabe king 🍊💩! Protest today!!!

Your freedom is eroding.

Stupid post

Uhhhh.... What freedom? Freedom to die in debt? Freedom to watch children die of hunger & disease? Freedom to be tortured in foreign prisons? Freedom to speak if billionaires say we can? The only freedom left is elections, & we have evidence being ignored that they are no longer free or fair.

💗

💔 but true.

Little late sunshine

Sadly, nothing happy about this 4th of July I sit here and wonder why? How could we have let this happen to us? Did we see it coming to make a loud fuss? The warning signs have been there for years The M$M played on our fears Rethuglicans have gone full fascist The Democrats have gone full pacifist

YOU ARE THE LEGITIMATE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. KAMALA HARRIS IS THE LEGITIMATE PRESIDENT! WE HAVE TO REMOVE HIM BY FORCE!

You don't have the freedom you claim to have. You won't until massive changes take place...you know it, but aren't doing it.

Praying for our fragile democracy.

Not happy lost independence day

You and no fight @kamalaharris.com caved instead of auditing Musk's rigged election obvious to a blind person. Words mean nothing.

The GOP sold you, your kids, and your grandkids' futures to billionaires and funded concentration camps I cannot in good conscience participate in this government, and so will be changing my tax status to exempt, going on strike, and attending protests instead, because my integrity demands it

Happy 4th of July 😎✌️

bsky.app/profile/af68...

We may have to fight for it all over again!

Not may - we need to fight now. It's getting away from us.

Exactly. This administration is trying to bring this country back to the early 1800s.

Celebrate being blue Minnesotans. xoxo Texas

We can not lose hope. Yes, that big ugly as sin bill passed. Guess what? That document listing those grievances against King George III? Time to name who the grievance is with now. #NoKings.

I watched an older educational film this morning, it was so fitting for where we are. The title was 'The Great Bill', check it out!

I actually got the title wrong so forgive me if I led anyone astray! It's actually titled 'The Great Rights', it was about our 'bill of rights', and how fragile it is.

Thanks for trying but we are far from happy. We are disgusted and angry. Happy No Independence Day America.

Exactly

I'm sorry but I think you already have. The old ways of just getting out the vote and protesting aren't going to save your country.

❤️❤️❤️

Happy Independence Day! Friendly reminder: Harvard is offering civics classes you can audit for FREE! Knowledge is power, arm yourselves! Here’s the full set of classes; pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

🏴🇺🇲🏴🥀👩🏽‍⚖️🥀🖤 We plan to WEAR BLACK on the 4th of July for a country in mourning. BLACK BUNTING over the American flag This year the 4th of July is NOT something to celebrate. The reason for the cause of celebration is being threatened😓🖤 When we get our democracy back in our hands we'll celebrate!🎆🇺🇲😊

...as diminished as our freedoms are, you mean.

Freedom is gone.

In 2025, the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps are all celebrating their 250th anniversaries, marking a significant milestone for these branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. This year is also part of the larger America250 initiative, which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the United States.

but it's smudged, all for Disconnection of,. It should have been a nation wide year of celebrations all around, where RED and BLUE r TOGETHER, And politics r not in the front. And we would maybe realize that the masses r not so different in mind when it comes to living on this planet.

Yes, but when & how can this happen? It's very clear now that the problem goes way beyond just T.

Tim I’m not very happy. Our country is in shambles . I’m not celebrating this year.

Freedom is gone, Governor Walz. It’s gone. But thank you for always being your cheerful self. America needs you.

We don't have any Freedom left TRAITOR TRUMP IS SLOWLY TAKING IT AWAY

Right on! Freedom Wins! Democracy Wins! Semper Fi Brothers and Sisters! When We Stand Together We Win.

Honestly... dude... what freedom are you talking about? If you're not white, if you're not straight, if you're not "Christian", if you're not a man, if you're not wealthy, you do not have true freedom in America. I am embarrassed of my country. We need to do better.

Exactly. He can say these things because he has privilege. Not like the rest of us who are fighting for our lives.

👆

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! youtu.be/YwD1je1zd4I?...

💙

youtu.be/GW9CWej-rlY?...

I think many already have. Our 'freedom' has already been limited by the tyranny of a few (Republicans).

back at 'ya, governor walz! many of us remember what was fought for, nourished and CHERISHED. let the BBQ BEGIN.

Thank you for your optimism and leadership, Governor Walz. I wish this country had chosen you and VP Harris to lead us into a brighter, more progressive future. Instead, too many stayed home or chose hate. Now, many of us will just be led to our own graves by this regime.

Too late 😬

And may the freedoms long held by some in this country finally start to spread to the rest of our population.

We've lost our independence, liberty, and freedom. My taxes are up so I'll be spending less. I'm saving more for contingencies. Large purchases are being delayed. Like the last recessions. The big difference? My fireworks dollars are going into ammo.

Our 4th will never be the same! #TuckFrump

Sorry Tim!! We don’t have freedoms anymore‼️🫩

Couldn’t find it in me to celebrate this year, not when the values we are supposed to be celebrating are under attack

What freedom?

If we ever regain it.

That train has left the station on its way to Alligator Auschwitz...

❤️🇺🇸🤍🇺🇸💙

What freedom? We have a dictator.

I'm not feeling it this year.

Happy Independence Day from AZ!!! Freedom ring for all!!!

I'm not spending one penny today. I'm protesting and boycotting. Pretty much if you have a barbecue today you are celebrating the transfer of power and wealth to the executive branch and the rich away from the people.

Get ready Governor, fascist wannabe Trump’s white supremacist paramilitary ICE will be there soon along with US marines.

Hate to break it to you guys but Americans lost their freedom in January 2025.

Thank you, we appreciate your sanity and compassion.

IMHO you are exactly where you are right now, because you have all done precisely that.

Not feeling like celebrating sir.

Well, because I'm a New England guy, it's hard to walk where my heroes are buried and not express gratitude. However, I understand what's motivating you.

Oh. Come. On. What freedom

And may you never return that damn Virginian flag!

Thanks Governor, but nothing is “happy” about it this year

That’s literally all the 4th has been about for the last 10 years. Taking our shrinking freedom for granted and putting our heads in the sand.

For granted Governor Walz? The GOP stole our freedoms yesterday! And Congress took part in that smash and grab!

What freedom? Have you looked around lately?

A shame so many Americans put greed above freedom.

May we FIGHT TYRANNY for our freedoms, may we be resist dictators and would-based monarchs by all means just like our founders wanted.

Yeah, this!

Thankful my Ohio born and raised child is attending college in Minnesota! Keep getting it right, Governor Walz! Happy 4th! “Freedom is an act.” -John Lewis

The U.S. is 57th on the freedom scale.

Hmm. Your colonist zealot nutcakes & the British King attempted genocide upon my Cajun ancestors in Acadie, but ok slave traders. Ever hear of Evangeline? She'd be my cousin. I'm 99% Cajun. There are only 600k worldwide. Y'all didn't wipe us out, puritan prodigy

You seem pleasant.

wtf are you even talking about on this thread? FFS

yet another sheep american idiot who has no fucking clue about your own history no wonder you don't use a real name bobo outwits you dumbass dems y'all need more informed citizens mtg kicks your ass speakkker moses is your daddy evidently

SOS (🇺🇸).

@governorwalz.mn.gov Not feeling like freedom today.

Harris campaign should have let you cook instead of putting a muzzle on you. Maybe things would have turned out differently and we could actually celebrate today.

Misogyny has no place in this fucking conversation

I thought Harris herself did a great job and honestly couldn’t have done much more given the limited timeframe. I’m talking about her team’s (which consisted of David Plouffe) decision to not let Walz be himself. Odd you make this about gender.

Happy 4th, Tim!

Hypocrisy- you campaigned on sending more money & weapons to support genocidal Israel

Too late. Our freedom has been destroyed.

You mean like 6 months ago? Because we've not any now.

Time to throw off the king, just like we did 249 years ago!

Remember on this “independence day”. That in 2016 Trump won that election with the “interference” of Putin. That was the day where we began to loose “our independence”. And why we now are having: No Kings rallies…. Slopes get slippery.

Happy 4th of July to you as well…

What are we celebrating? People getting grabbed off the streets by unidentified masked men and put in cages,or losing our health insurance,food stamps,or social sercurity being taken over by billionaires that want to siphon more money into their pocket. No,this is not the America I want to celebrate

Hard to celebrate this nation with Trump as president. Harder to celebrate with so many people suffering even before the "Big Ugly Bill" goes live.
