happy 4th!

today I’m finding it difficult to celebrate our freedom and independence when the country is actively taking that away from residents and citizens. when the American exceptionalism I was taught is at odds with an administration stopping research across the board.

but I am proud of and celebrate the Americans I see resisting. the Americans still pushing boundaries. the Americans that fix and improve instead of throw away. the Americans working through adversity to make life better not just for their families but for their communities.

happy 4th 🇺🇸
