#articlesofconfederation — Public Fediverse posts

Although the #BadBunny show would air at Trump’s golf club ( https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7upoypvlxudsiv4pzbi5jtwf/post/3meflpg2tzc2u ), #Trump (or a staffer) would post “This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country,” which again raises the question of if Trump thinks Bad Bunny is a U.S. Citizen. This follows Laura Loomer’s claiming the Super Bowl had been "ruined" by immigrants, #GregKelly of Newsmax referring to Bad Bunny as a foreigner, and podcaster #TomiLahren claiming Bad Bunny is "not an American artist". #LauraLoomer #USCitizen

After the event, we still have options.

For example, we could learn the difference between the #UnitedStates and "America." #America, the continental mass, was named in 1507 by a German mapmaker after the Italian explorer who correctly pointed out it wasn’t Asia. In 1781 the #ArticlesOfConfederation and Perpetual Union went into effect. Article 1 said officially, for the first time, that the name of the then-confederacy was “The United States of America”. Article 13 allowed a process for a successor document. That successor document, the United States #Constitution, went into effect in 1789 and also names “the United States of America” in its Preamble and Article VII. The Department of State regulations (5 FAH-1 H-1030) require “United States of America” in all formal documents and the adjective form “United States” before “citizens” in matters where sovereignty matters.

This was important because the end of Bad Bunny’s show was dedicated to all of the #Americas and the 30+ countries which comprise it. https://youtu.be/ni6qsQi8Aiw

The #spirit of ‘76

Today is a good day to read the #DeclarationofIndependence, which laid #groundwork for the #RevolutionaryWar — #equality of all #people; #unalienable #rights to #life, #liberty and the #pursuit of #happiness; #government drawing its #power from the #consent of the #people, principles enshrined in the #ArticlesofConfederation, our first “#constitution.”

The spirit of 1776 is in peril.
