Good morning resisters, miscreants and outlaws. Here is your picture from yesterday’s rally at Mast’s office

I am reprinting Jennifer Rubin’s last paragraph in her post from yesterday. She was talking about George Washington and the Netflix series Washington streaming now.

The Washington series, in other words, is the perfect antidote to Trumpian nihilism. More generally, we might treat the country’s 250^thcelebration and its essential collection of historical materials as a national wake-up call: Our ability to preserve democracy requires that we cultivate and elevate public virtues (e.g., honesty, empathy, self-restraint), without which we never would have gained and sustained our independence. In that regard, a crash course in the American Revolution and its indispensable founding figures could not have come at a better time.

Happy 250th birthday of our country. Let’s continue to work to make our 251st year the beginning of a “more perfect union.”
