Anti-Indigenous Slur In Declaration Of Independence Speaks Volumes

July 5, 2026 Johnnie Jae, Truthout. Educate! Declaration of Independence, Executive power, Indigenous Sovereignty, Wars and Miliitarism

Every Fourth of July, the Declaration of Independence is the cornerstone of the U.S.’s celebrations. It’s read aloud in radio, television, and public celebrations. But it carries a contradiction expressed through a slur that Native people have never been able to ignore — a scathing reference to “merciless Indian Savages.” Even as the framers promised a nation of equality and liberty for all, they also made it clear that Indigenous people are not included in their notion of “all.” So, within Native communities, the yearly invocations of the Declaration Independence are also a reminder of how long we have been struggling to resist, survive, and defeat every effort to silence, erase, and eradicate us.

The Declaration Of Independence From The Medical-Industrial Complex

April 27, 2026 National Single Payer, Popular Resistance. Organize! Declaration of Independence, Health Care, Human Rights, National Improved Medicare for All

Skyrocketing health insurance premiums, deductibles, copays, and denials, and crushing medical debt are overwhelming millions of Americans while expired ACA tax credits, life-threatening cuts to Medicaid, and rising health care costs deepen uncertainty for families. The closure of rural hospitals will put millions of rural residents at risk. Historic public support for a national health program, free from insurance companies and financed through progressive taxes, presents us with a new opening for National Improved Medicare for All, free from profit, guaranteeing coverage for everyone, permanently resolving these crises, lowering costs, and ending medical debt.

A New Declaration Of Independence

July 5, 2024 Emma Goldman, In These Times. Strategize! Declaration of Independence, Emma Goldman, History, Human Rights

When, in the course of human development, existing institutions prove inadequate to the needs of man, when they serve merely to enslave, rob, and oppress mankind, the people have the eternal right to rebel against, and overthrow, these institutions. The mere fact that these forces – inimical to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – are legalized by statute laws, sanctified by divine rights, and enforced by political power, in no way justifies their continued existence. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all human beings, irrespective of race, color, or sex, are born with the equal right to share at the table of life; that to secure this right...

The Dilemma Of The Fourth Of July

July 4, 2022 Mark Charles, Native News Online. Educate! 4th of July, American genocide, Declaration of Independence, Indigenous Rights

This is the dilemma that Native ‘Americans’ face every day. The foundations of the United States of America are blatantly unjust. This land was stolen. Native peoples, Africans and many other minority communities have long been recipients of systemic racism. And the roots of it are right there for the entire world to see, printed in many of our founding documents; like the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and United States Supreme Court case rulings. We announce it. We flaunt it. We celebrate it.. As a nation we embrace this history because we are largely ignorant of the true nature of our past and have never been held accountable for our actions.

Newsletter: Real History Of Revolution

July 2, 2016 Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers, www.popularresistance.org Newsletter Austerity, Colonialism, Declaration of Independence, Democracy, Finance and the Economy, Fourth of July, Independence, Indigenous People, Neo-Liberalism, Nonviolence, Slavery, Wars and Militarism

By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers. Official holidays in the United States tend to reinforce false historical narratives. The Fourth of July is one of those holidays and what the official story misses is the reality that must be told. During the decade before the Revolutionary War, colonists ran one of the most effective nonviolence resistance campaigns against corporate power in history. Rivera Sun describes this campaign of nonviolent actions by showing that many of the tactics people attribute to Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and other modern activists were used in an effective campaign by the colonists including boycotts of British goods, replacing them with their own goods; refusing to cooperate with unjust laws, non-payment of taxes, the development of parallel governments and local assemblies as well as rallies, petitions, marches and protests.

A Legal Precedent For A More Equitable Society

January 24, 2016 Edward Campbell, www.opednews.com Educate! Article of Confederation, Citizens United, Corruption, Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, wealth inequality

By Edward Campbell for Op-Ed News. Article One sections 9 and 10 of the Constitution forbids the grant of any "Titles of Nobility". In promoting the adoption of the Constitution of the United States of America, Alexander Hamilton named these Article One clauses the "Cornerstone of Republican Government". He went on to observe that as long as "titles of nobility" were excluded, there could never be a serious danger that the government will be any other than that of the people. "Titles of Nobility" were terms familiar in the language of the times indicating social and economic superiority and political power. The Nobility restrictions referred to equality. In the words of the early Constitutional Scholar, Joseph Story, born towards the end of the Revolution (1779) and a member of the Supreme Court from 1811 to 1845, that as perfect equality is the basis of all our institutions, state and national, the prohibition against the creation of any title of nobility seems proper, if not indispensable, to keep perpetually alive a just sense of this important truth.
