My children have only been politically aware from the start of 45’s first term. They have no respect for the office of the President and quite frankly, if I had grown up in this era, I wouldn’t either. #nokings

August 1814:
British forces briefly capture the capital and set fire to government buildings.

July 4th in Columbus, Ohio—and the people are bringing the heat.
Under a scorching sun, protestors flood the Statehouse steps to rage against Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, ICE raids, and fascist cruelty.
This is what real patriotism looks like: furious, loud, unafraid.
