I recently read a book about Martha's Vineyard during the Revolutionary War. The British sailed into the harbor to resupply & ordered all the sheep brought to their boats. The women, who were in charge while the men fought, refused to comply! It seems like a good reminder on the #4thofJuly!

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
