Reflection on America’s 250th Anniversary
The America I know is not the same as it was founded thanks in no small part due to Trump and his cronies. But in these dark moments I am reminded of the opening sentences of Thomas Paine’s The American Crisis from 1777 when solders in the American Revolution suffered through a brutal winter storm in Valley Forge:
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”
America has triumphed over a tyrant once, and we will triumph against another one so long as we have the courage and the determination to do so.

Pride started with a brick—thrown by Black and Brown trans women and gender-expansive folks who were done being brutalized, erased, and criminalized for existing.
