Happy Fourth of July

It’s the Fourth of July. Not feeling particularly patriotic this year? You’re not alone.

First, let’s hear from Captain America, imparting oddly thoughtful words about how the American dream can become a gate to keep people out, concluding with this radical thought: “A good dream is shared.”

And now, from the real life American hero George Takei:

The greatest love you can show your country is to make it live up to its promises and ideals.

After my family and 120,000 other Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps, I chose to hold America accountable. I did so not because I hated it, but because I believed in it.

May we hold America accountable and continue to believe in sharing the American dream. Happy 4th.
