Yale Historian : 'I don't celebrate independence today.'

The Yale historian who doesn't celebrate July 4th....

I don't celebrate independence today.

Every person's independence has been compromised by stripping Miranda rights

Every woman's independence has been compromised by the overturn of Roe

I DO celebrate the willingness (of some) to push back.
W/o it American democracy will fall.
