Morales for Prov Mayor fundraising event in NYC described by organizers this way: "New York City Democratic Socialists of America ran the table on primary night two weeks ago, winning nine out of ten of its contested races including two congressional seats. The impact of that victory is being felt far beyond the five boroughs. On June 30, Democratic Socialist Melot Kiros defeated a 30-year incumbent to win a congressional seat in Denver, Colorado. Democratic socialists are also running hard in Democratic primaries in Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City and South Florida.  On Thursday, more than 100 democratic socialists squeezed into hot, clammy bar in Crown Heights, Brooklyn to join a fundraiser for David Morales, a 27-year-old Rhode Island state legislator who is running to be the next mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, a city of 200,000 people with a large student population and sky-high housing costs that is ripe for a leftwing takeover.  Speaking to the feeling in the room that now is a time of unprecedented opportunity for the socialist left in the United States, the event’s emcee, Daniel Denvir, host of The Dig podcast who lives in Providence, vowed that if elected, “David is going to turn Providence into a laboratory for municipal socialism.” The fundraiser was organized by Denvir along with prominent members of New York City DSA, though it was not an official chapter event. Along with Denvir, the crowd heard from a pair of New York City DSA-backed electeds, Assembly member Emily Gallagher and State Senator Julia Salazar. Morales then took the mic and fired up the crowd." NOTE: Daniel Denvir, who introduced candidate Morales, is a Fellow at Brown University’s Watson Institute.

The 56 Men Who Pledged Their Lives, Fortunes, and Sacred Honor: On July 4, 1776, 56 brave men signed the Declaration of Independence. They knew that if they failed, they would be hanged as traitors to the British Crown. In the final sentence of the document, they declared: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” These were not wild-eyed radicals. They were lawyers, merchants, farmers, doctors, and men of means and education. Many had everything to lose. Their Sacrifices Were Real: - 9 signers died during the Revolutionary War from wounds or the hardships of war. - 5 were captured by the British and brutally tortured as traitors. - 12 had their homes completely ransacked and burned to the ground. - 17 lost everything they owned. Several had wives and children imprisoned or killed. Two lost sons in battle; another had two sons captured. Many were hunted, driven from their homes, and forced to live in hiding. Some notable examples: Francis Lewis (New York): His wife was imprisoned and tortured by the British. She never recovered and died soon after. Richard Stockton (New Jersey): Dragged from his bed in the middle of the night, imprisoned, and his home burned. Thomas McKean (Delaware): Forced to move his family constantly to avoid capture. Carter Braxton (Virginia): A wealthy merchant who lost almost all his ships and fortune supporting the war. He died in poverty. John Hart (New Jersey): His home was destroyed, his farm ruined, and he was forced to hide in caves. He returned to find his wife dead and children vanished. NOT ONE of them backed out. NOT ONE defected. NOT ONE betrayed the cause. They gave everything so that a new nation founded on liberty could be born. This Independence Day, remember the price these 56 men and their families paid. They didn’t just sign a piece of paper. They risked everything for the idea that “all men are created equal” and "endowed by their Creator" with unalienable rights. Freedom is not free.🇺🇸

Every Fourth of July, we celebrate the great deeds of our past. We reflect upon the courage and wisdom of our forefathers—of Washington and Jefferson, of Adams and Franklin—and the virtues of the good and faithful citizens who brought victory to the cause of liberty. The people of our country, trusting in “the protection of divine Providence,” wagered all that life holds dear to win independence. The reward of their strenuous efforts, of mind and muscle, is a citadel of freedom where human ingenuity has flourished and produced great prosperity and happiness. Over the past two and a half centuries, Americans have added to their freedom an ethic of industriousness and stewardship, building and investing in the capital markets that were born together with our Nation and continue to propel it forward. May today we celebrate 250 years of freedom with all the pomp and fireworks that are fitting for this great national moment. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Tomorrow marks 250 years since a small group of farmers, tradesmen, and statesmen confronted the most powerful empire of their era. They possessed neither a standing army nor the certainty of victory, relying instead on mutual TRUST and faith in Providence. Based on this foundation, they established what would become the freest nation in history. This TRUST was tested and reaffirmed in 1812, during the Civil War, and throughout two World Wars, each marked by sacrifice and hard-won victory. We must acknowledge that the TRUST the people once placed in their government has diminished. The Republic established by our predecessors was never intended to function without active stewardship. This responsibility is enTRUSTed to each generation, requiring us to defend and renew it continually. As we celebrate tomorrow, we should remember the cost of that original commitment.
