This is my one and only July 4th decoration this year. Not in the mood to celebrate, that’s for sure. But I’m grateful to have family and friends around to share food, stories, and a little peace.
Life is good, but not for everyone. We don’t forget that.
Hope you’re doing alright today, friends.

A U.S. citizen who was arrested for filming an ICE raid at Home Depot is suing the federal government for $1 million— and I hope he gets every penny.
