People outside of the US probably wonder how anyone could celebrate 4th of July in Donald Trump's America. Simple. You refuse to make it about him. You make it about you. You make it about your own community. #photography #4thofJuly These are selected photos from my day of photographing 4th of July festivities in Monterey, CA 2/

Women, Black and brown people were supposed to be afraid and sidelined. I did see some signs that some people were uneasy being seen. For that reason, I used my camera a bit differently this year, but a lot of these people had to earn their right to be part of the American conversation and they're clearly not complying in advance. #photography #4thofJuly These are selected photos from my day of photographing 4th of July festivities in Monterey, CA 3/

A lot of Americans probably don't feel like celebrating occasions like this right now. Some may feel conflicted about appearing happy. Do it. Celebrate. Do joy. We need that to keep going. Let others wonder what you are celebrating. If you were in the crowds I was in, it's clear that the version of America we celebrated started in our own communities where food is complex and mysterious words slip into our vocabularies because we've heard someone else use them so much. #photography #4thofJuly These are selected photos from my day of photographing 4th of July festivities in Monterey, CA 4/

I shot a very well attended 4th of July Parade in Monterey, CA. I have some fun shots from the parade, but the ones I'm most pleased by are these face in the crowd shots I was able to get after the parade ended. Every time I'm in a crowd, I try to get shots like this, but it's always hit or miss... mostly miss. This time, I got exceedingly lucky and very noticeable faces kept appearing out of the sea of humanity over and over again for me. #photography #monterey #4thofJuly #America250

Trump & Epstein: Biz partners. @MugsysRapSheet@mastodon.social · Jul 07, 2026
#Texas AG & Senate candidate Ken #Paxton flew to London for the #4thofjuly (seriously?) and was spotted walking with his mistress. 🤨 When he sees that he's being recorded, he takes off trying to pretend he doesn't know the woman walking next to him, but when she stops, he stops to check on her. #Talarico #JamesTalarico

Man you'd think with time off work for holidays that you'd, well, get some time off, but so far this long weekend has been full of IRL obligations, even our normal #4thOfJuly #DukeNukem stream was missed... Oh well, there's always next year... Anyways, we're back for our normally scheduled nonsense today, hopefully finishing off Kanto before we move on to Johto with entirely new mono-type teams in our adventures in PokéOne! Come stop by and get out of this heat with us! https://twitch.tv/undead_zeratul #Gaming #VideoGames #Streaming #LetsPlay #LiveStream #Twitch #TwitchStreamer #SmallStreamer #Pokémon #PokéOne

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: #4thOfJuly #nokings #notyrants

I watched the movie Civil War tonight and now I have war trauma. It was good though. I hope this story never comes true. #USpol #4thOfJuly

Stop OS Surveillance Mandate @stopossmandate@mastodon.social · Jul 05, 2026
Today is July 4, and the Unuted States and its Constitution were born from the British oppressors. So we must protect the #FirstAmendment and the #FourthAmendment from the #AgeVerification laws and bills, including those in the OS/App-Store level. Anyway, Happy #4thOfJuly! #DigitalFreedom #Privacy

Feel like doing something anti-Patriot Front after seeing those pictures today? Rihanna Kelver is a trans woman facing two felonies for drawing her firearm in self defense last September, when Patriot Front member Scott Durham and his friends pushed her to the ground while yelling slurs. Her legal defense fundraiser hasn't even hit 50% yet as of writing https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-rihanna-kelver-after-hate-crime :green_boost: #PatriotFront #July4th #4thOfJuly #IndependenceDay
