Watching the @amandaknox series has me sick to my stomach. Having to digest one episode a day because it’s that brutal and I know the emotions were 100x what I’m seeing on screen. Just took a shower and I’ve already broken a sweat 😓
Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.
