  1. Watching Evan Gershkovich do his book tour and I'm reminded of this joke:

    A Russian traveler on a flight to the U.S. is asked by the American sitting next to them "So what brings you to the U.S.?" The Russian replies "I'm studying the American approach to propaganda." The American exclaims "What propaganda?" The Russian answers "Exactly."

  2. Happy 64th Independence Day, Uganda!

    Since 1962, we have continued our journey. May peace, unity, love, and patriotism grow as we empower future generations.

    🙋I say this because I believe we must stand against corruption, bribery, and exploitation while protecting our freedom and the Pearl of Africa.

  4. A quotation from Hemingway

    War is made or planned now by individual men, demagogues and dictators who play on the patriotism of their people to mislead them into a belief in the great fallacy of war when all their vaunted reforms have failed to satisfy the people they misrule.

    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) American writer
    Essay (1935-09), “Notes on the Next War,” Esquire, Vol. 4, No. 3

  6. When Words Become Weapons: Why a President Mustn’t Wish Destruction on American Cities

    by Winston Wendell There are certain lines that even the President of the United States should not cross. And today, it seems, Donald Trump has once again done something that only the most desensitized and uncultured among us could regard as excusable. For the President of the United States to casually advocate the deaths of millions of Americans in a political rally, and as a way of justifying fuel prices, represents an absolute low point in presidential history and a serious violation of […]

  7. A quotation from Hemingway

    They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country. But in modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

    Essay (1935-09), “Notes on the Next War,” Esquire, Vol. 4, No. 3

  10. Fuck #Iran anyway (I view #theocracy of all flavors as ghoulish), but if #Trump follows through on these unveiled threats of #nuclear annihilation of an entire civilization then it is simply the duty of every #USA citizen to capture and turn this monster over to The #Hague for a fair trial. And any of us should be willing to hold the rope if any are convicted. #patriotism #justice

That is beyond. Call it #patriotism call it #survival call it any damn thing you want. But it's there. #PINKS

  14. My new passion - Chinese calligraphy. Not sure what I am going to do with it, but the poetry I have read doing this is intensely beautiful. So one day I will probalby be a mediocre Chinese calligrapher. But I am sure it will bleed into my other art somehow.




    This is from a poem, 2300 years old, from a time where the characters I have used here was not even in use yet. They wrote the bronze age script of Chu where this poet came from - a side form of proto Chinese written on bamboo strips.

    The Communist party has decided that the glorious past should again awake the spirit of nationalist patriotism - as all power people these days seem to default to. So Qu Yuan (屈原) is now called a patriot who lost his country. The poetry shames every nationalist in the world. It is a long poem - this is just the opening line. Half the opening line, actually. It ends with the character 兮 - a magical and rhythmic breath out, that is in the middle of every line.

    The words mean something like:

    "Since my youth, I have loved these wondrous/unusual garments - xī"

  16. THIS Is What a Patriot Is!!!!

    I don’t talk much about my time in the US Army, but lately a story has been long overdue.  It was spring 1995, and I was standing in formation with the 3rd Ranger Battalion at 3 am at Fort Benning, GA. A senior SGT, a mentor and example warrior in the famous missions that were depicted in the movie Black Hawk Down, had gathered us from our slumber to tell us something weighing on his heart.  His speech lasted over an hour, and I don’t remember every word, but it became part of who I am […]

  19. A quotation from Twain

    You see my kind of loyalty was loyalty to one’s country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death. To be loyal to rags, to shout for rags, to worship rags, to die for rags — that is a loyalty of unreason, it is pure animal; it belongs to monarchy, was invented by monarchy; let monarchy keep it.

    Mark Twain (1835–1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 13 “Freemen!”

  21. A quotation from E. B. White

    In a free country it is the duty of writers to pay no attention to duty. Only under a dictatorship is literature expected to exhibit an harmonious design or an inspirational tone.

    E. B. White (1899–1985) American author, critic, humorist [Elwyn Brooks White]
    Essay (1939-01), “One Man’s Meat,” Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 178

  22. The #AfD's victory in #Sachsen_Anhalt proves that the far-right has nothing to do with patriotism: no patriot would vote for a party that literally wants to sell their country out to Russia and the Trump administration.

  24. A quotation from Gloria Steinem

    The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. We are filled with the popular wisdom of several centuries just past, and we are terrified to give it up. Patriotism means obedience, age means wisdom, woman means submission, black means inferior: these are preconceptions embedded so deeply in our thinking that we honestly may not know that they are there.

    Gloria Steinem (1934–2026) American feminist, journalist, activist
    Essay (1971-08-21), “A New Egalitarian Life Style,” New York Times

  25. ‘My country, right or wrong,’ etc., and instead I would say, ‘My country when she is right.’ Because patriotism is supporting your country all the time, but your government only when it deserves it.

  26. A quotation from Henry Commager

    The effort to equate loyalty with conformity is misguided because it assumes that there is a fixed content to loyalty and that this can be determined and defined. But loyalty is a principle, and eludes definition except in its own terms. It is devotion to the best interests of the commonwealth, and may require hostility to the particular policies which the government pursues, the particular practices which the economy undertakes, the particular institutions which society maintains.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902–1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 2, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

  27. This stopped me in my tracks! I went to Bluesky and was greeted by this. I had to save it and share it here. Very true. I patriotic about the US. I think we still can be the best it can be, but we’re far from it right now. We need to get DJT out of office.

  28. 🗳️ I just dropped off my mail‑in ballot. Voting is patriotism.🇺🇸

    🗣️ Also, as a poll worker volunteer for this November’s election, I’m aware that the nationwide shortage of poll workers is underreported, and it affects communities everywhere. Our election system depends on everyday people stepping up.

    If volunteering isn’t possible for you, remember your vote, your voice:
    ✅ Register to vote
    ✅ Vote in every municipal, state, and federal election

    💪🏾 Exercise your right and make your voice count. — Coach Julio

  29. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    If you wish a man to commit some abominable crime, from which he would naturally recoil in horror, you first teach him loyalty to a gang of arch-criminals, and then make his crime appear to him as exemplifying the virtue of loyalty. Of this process, patriotism is the most perfect instance.

    Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual vs. the Citizen” (1932)

    Patriotism is not a loud noise that we hear only on the 14th of August. It is not only flags on the streets, or songs on television, or speeches in big grounds. Real patriotism is a quiet light that burns in the heart of a common man, every single day. It live…
