Juneteenth as a federal holiday is meant to breathe new life into the very essence of America. To make sure all Americans feel the power of this day and the progress we can make for our country. Earlier this week, I felt that power at the White House. pic.twitter.com/Ogo6SBvZBA — President Biden (@POTUS) June 17, 2023 Six Art-Filled Ways to Celebrate Juneteenth in New York City https://t.co/9gF54bqlr0 via @hyperallergic — Gregg Chadwick 🇺🇦 🟧 (@greggchadwick) June 17, 2023

By Gregg Chadwick This crisp Sunday morning in Santa Monica, I am reflecting on the remarkable achievement by so many to keep the United States steered toward a bright future as evidenced by the inspiring results of the November 2022 midterm elections. Our democracy was tested and held firm.  As Nick Corasanti reports in the New York Times: “Every election denier who sought to become the top election official in a critical battleground state lost at the polls this year, as voters roundly rejected extreme partisans who promised to restrict voting and overhaul the electoral process.” Writer Billy Mernit wrote in a comment to a story that I linked on twitter, “It's still amazing to me that ‘Tell people who like to vote to vote for the people who want to take their votes away‘ was perceived to be a winning strategy.” I painted the musician H.E.R. performing America the Beautiful at the Super Bowl in February 2021. America the Beautiful was written as an aspirational response to the blu...

I’m heading to Philadelphia to make a major speech on the soul of the nation. Join me right here at 8 PM ET. pic.twitter.com/DhaAG0f2vP — President Biden (@POTUS) September 1, 2022 Biden's right. Election '22 is about the battle for the soul of the nation. He's set the terms of the fight tonight as only a @POTUS can do & in circumstances like this must do. Making his case, he demonstrated what a US leader can be & how that contrasts w/the MAGA alternative. — David Rothkopf (@djrothkopf) September 2, 2022   "Empathy fuels democracy,” President Joe Biden #BidenSpeech — Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) September 2, 2022 This is true. https://t.co/zAKlDao9NO — Sherrilyn Ifill (@SIfill_) September 2, 2022 The MAGA GOP will no doubt call Biden's speech divisive but it was the opposite. He sought to unify the vast American majority to stand up to the ugly, loud minority that is a threat to all we stand for. It's the kind of stand against fasci...

President Biden's speech in Warsaw on Russia's invasion of Ukraine: ( Full transcript)  "Be not afraid." These were the first words that the first public address of the first Polish pope after his election in October of 1978, they were the words who would come to define Pope John Paul II. Words that would change the world. John Paul brought the message here to Warsaw in his first trip back home as pope in June of 1979. It was a message about the power, the power of faith, the power of resilience, the power of the people. In the face of a cruel and brutal system of government, it was a message that helped end the Soviet repression in the central land in Eastern Europe 30 years ago. It was a message that we'll overcome the cruelty and brutality of this unjust war. When Pope John Paul brought that message in 1979, the Soviet Union ruled with an iron fist behind an Iron Curtain. Then a year later, the solidarity movement took hold in Poland. While I know he couldn...

One year ago, our democracy was attacked and our Constitution faced the gravest of threats. But We the People prevailed. Now, it’s up to us to choose what kind of nation we’re going to be. pic.twitter.com/gqg3BT3vw1 — President Biden (@POTUS) January 6, 2022 "One year ago today in this sacred place, democracy was attacked -- simply attacked. The will of the people was under assault, the Constitution -- our Constitution -- faced the gravest of threats. Outnumbered in the face of a brutal attack, the Capitol police, the DC Metropolitan Police Department, the National Guard and other brave law enforcement officials saved the rule of law. Our democracy held. We the people endured. We the people prevailed."- President Biden   ‘I will allow no one to place a dagger at the throat of democracy,’ - @POTUS pic.twitter.com/Fu2fbYP2mR — Gregg Chadwick (@greggchadwick) January 6, 2022 You can’t love your country only when you win.
