Despite Trump's authoritarian seizure of the Fourth of July holiday there's millions of Americans who still honor our founders and new republic, rejecting the lies, hate, and twisted narrative that MAGA is trying to force upon the nation this year.
I refuse to let the bastardization of our nation go unchallenged. I'll be flying the American flag, but upside down because freedom is under attack by a felon and sex offender who is illegally squatting in the Oval Office.
It hurts - and hardens - my heart to see this decline in our democracy.
Today I'm recalling past Fourth of July celebrations when my kids were growing up and more recently with my grandchildren. Great memories of children with sparklers, hot dogs, hamburgers, and potato salad will always hold me in good stead.
I'm not going to allow Trump to ruin those memories. Instead of letting him get in my head I'll be thinking about the price of freedom in the coming days, months and years.
As it Stands, I'm proud to be an American who believes that we all deserve to be free and equal as spelled out in the Bill of Rights.
