We need a new government. What that means is, NOT trying to repair the horrible one we already have but creating a brand new one from scratch.
We need a new continental congress.

Everyone is a world citizen first and foremost. Making people squabble over citizenship is straight out of ruzzia's playbook, which the US has been leeching from. Looking for a national identity to be proud of, tbh. #ContinentalCongress

A softly-tinted postcard view titled "Old Capitol Building and Colonial Coach, Williamsburg, Va." The Capitol is a brick building with a white cupola, topped by a flagpole flying a British flag. Two dark horses pull a four-wheeled coach, with two men seated on the driver's bench in front of the coach.
(1/3) It’s #July4, 1776. Where are you, #JamesMadison?
Madison wasn’t in Philadelphia with the #ContinentalCongress – he was in #Williamsburg as a member of the Virginia Convention. Between May 6 and July 6, the Virginia Convention took three momentous steps.
#OTD - July 2, 1776 - 12 of the 13 colonies vote for the resolution, with NY abstaining. Congress declares the resolution to be in effect. Independence has been formally declared.

My second movie recommendation apropos for the time we live in. 1776 is an entertaining look at how/why the US declared its independence. Get inspired and then read history books.

250 years ago today, #GeorgeWashington was selected as a delegate to the #ContinentalCongress. He wrote “...it is my full intention to devote my Life & Fortune in the cause we are engagd in, if need be.” #Revolution
A photograph of Independence Hall, flanked by leafy green trees. The two-story building is red brick with a tall tower topped by a white cupola.
The #RevolutionaryWar was still on when #JamesMadison took his seat in the 2nd #ContinentalCongress #OTD 1780. Madison represented VA until 1783. Although he had been elected in VA before, this began his national political career.

We need a coordinated #resistance! Honesty, something like our founding fathers' #ContinentalCongress. We're too decentralized, and our efforts would be far more effective if all the #RESIST movements came together as one organized powerhouse. #pride #bluecrew @aoc.bsky.social
