20. Not too strong of a reaction. A lot of people feel that way.

I did,, too, but then decided that I will not let the orange snowflake make me unhappy.

I will celebrate what we can be. I will celebrate the people wh are working to bring us back to normal.

My celebration will be mostly on June 14 at No Kings. And that is the spirit that I will celebrate on the 4th.

It is OUR country, too. Trump and MAGAs do not have exclusive ownership of it.

I will.play Streets of Minnespolis, along with other patriotic songs of resistance. Isn't resistance to tyranny the whole point of Independence Day? So I will celebrate resistance.
