No celebrating for me and my family this year. This country has always had flaws, big ones. But during times when America is striving to be more, to move toward equality and justice, to help the world, it is a country worth celebrating even when we fall short of our aspirations.

I am not proud of my country in 2025. There is nothing to celebrate. The bill the GOP just passed is going to take essential health insurance from millions so the rich can get a tax break. USAID is closed and children are going to starve as a result. All so a corrupt political party can bend the knee to an utterly corrupt, gross felon.

I am not going to stand and watch fireworks and wave an American flag and pretend that is ok. None of this is ok.

We are going to a protest in the morning, and curling up to watch movies in the afternoon and evening. I hope I can celebrate America again some day. Today, my country is a failure and a disgrace.
