A new mural in France depicting Lady Liberty covering her face in shame was unveiled one day before America's Independence Day.

The image features the American flag in the background, with a prominent bald eagle, which is a national symbol of the United States, superimposed in the foreground. The text at the top reads "LAND OF THE FREE," and the text at the bottom reads "HOME OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST PRISON POPULATION." This juxtaposition of imagery and text seems to convey a critical commentary on the notion of freedom in the United States, highlighting the paradox of having a large prison population.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." 

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
