Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

people ask me how to make an org or an event (Pixelles, Polaris, Kitfox, etc). over time, it's become clear the steps can't be broken down past 1 - decide on a goal 2 - figure out how to reach that goal 3 - find a trusted collaborator 4 - take it slow, it's a marathon (anecdata to follow in thread)
