As I’m gearing up for a patriotic movie night with neighbors (Jaws, Lincoln, Independence Day, Hidden Figures), I thought it might help to share some ways to celebrate the best of who we are. Sending love and solidarity to all of you – with all of us pitching in, clearer skies are ahead.
On what feels like a day of mourning, I'm recommending this video and the linked articles in the comments about how to help the children in American concentration camps. Here's 5-year-old Jacob Martinez giving the national anthem everything he's got. #FourthofJuly https://t.co/r9W6DkZVzG

So it seems Trump’s 4th of July is all wet and may even be canceled. After all, the man can barely operate an umbrella. But, like Trump himself, this storm over DC will eventually pass. And with all of us pitching in, clearer skies will lie ahead. #Election2020

The @ACLU makes it easy to make a donation. It took me about 30 seconds: https://t.co/x7FQAYtPVU

"All-American" is often strangely specific when it should be more inclusive of the vast diversity of American experience. (Yes, that includes the experiences of immigrants.) https://t.co/a8CDAhb4F1

There are over 60k homeless Vets in the US; instead of a #TrumpParade imagine how that $92mil could have helped them. Instead of watching the parade, consider donating to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans https://t.co/C3VsqohV5P pic.twitter.com/h6H8TGP3Zv
