#ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings 1) Norway national team’s rowing. Gleefully absurd. 2) Didn’t sleep enough this weekend but still feel restored. 3) Each of the conversations all around about the #DeclarationOfIndependence might only have a small, “butterfly flapping its wings” effect on how the next few years unfold, but they will add up.

”Självständighetsförklaringen är på samma gång resultatet av ett ofattbart politiskt mod och en kolossal brist på politisk vilja.” —Björn af Kleen, Paradoxalt USA sen självständighetsförklaringen 4 juli 1776 #declarationofindependence

”And on July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence… For all the fact that the congressmen got around the sticky little problem of Black and Indigenous enslavement by defining “men” as “white men,” and for all that it never crossed their minds that women might also have rights, the Declaration of Independence was an astonishingly radical document.” —Heather Cox Richardson, July 3, 2026 https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/july-3-2026 #usa #declarationofindependence
