I’ve seen a couple of particularly fascinating images from the fourth of July:
I’ve included this (via) at full size—click on it to view it accordingly—cos it’s so stunning. This is from the fireworks show at the end of the day in DC, and, well, it looks like the heavens are sick of it and decided to put on their own show. Shame they couldn’t have struck down Mushroom Cock while they were at it…

Unfortunately, I think THIS (via) should be the definitive image of the 250th anniversary of the erstwhile US of A: a black woman on a train surrounded by masked racists going to DC for a masked racist march, or “First Amendment activities” as the DC mayor’s office euphemised it in the article.
Hundreds of masked men carrying banners, including the Confederate flag, marched through Washington DC on the Fourth of July, the 250th anniversary of the US’s inception.
The group appeared to be led by Thomas Rousseau, founder of the neo-fascist, white supremacist organization Patriot Front. Members of the group wore white masks and gathered in front of DC’s Union Station. They later marched towards Capitol Hill, WTOP reported.
Members chanted “Life, liberty, victory!” and “Reclaim America!” during the Saturday demonstration, according to video posted on social media.
Images published by Reuters also showed masked members riding the DC Metro as other riders looked on warily.
The white supremacist group’s gathering attracted some counter-protesters. In one video, a man with a bullhorn shouted at Patriot Front members: “Every single one of you justifies the fucking right to abortion.”
I’m with THAT guy. That’s more condemnation of these cunts that Trump will offer. The losers of the Civil War waving the losers’ flag in the nation’s capital on its 250th birthday… how did that happen? I’ve seen a lot of nostalgia online for the 1976 Bicentennial, which people seem to have been far more enthusiastic about than they are about the 250th, and 1976 wasn’t as bad a time as 2026 but it still had its problems… Gerald Ford had overseen the loss of the Vietnam War, economic disaster, a swine flu outbreak that’s been blamed for kicking off the whole anti-vaxx movement in the US, letting Indonesia annex East Timor, a low point in US-Israel relations, a resurgence of the KKK, and would end 1976 by losing the election to Jimmy Carter. And for all that people were still excited by the Bicentennial, he still had that to his credit… I’ve seen other claims that people just aren’t as excited by a half century as they are a full one, but I don’t feel that’s right somehow. Something really is different in 2026. If the Klan had pulled that stunt in 1976, I feel like Ford would at least have been critical of the event and of the Klan, unlike someone else we could name…
