i love the united states of america. a recent favorite example of why i love this country so much is this post from peter steinberger. it’s so representative of everything that makes america great. “ye are the light of the world. a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.” at our best, we are a bastion of freedom and opportunity for the entire world, and we should continue to both celebrate and protect the values and principles that make the usa and the american dream so wonderfully unique and possible. i live in a part of the country that’s particularly patriotic (if you’ve never seen how we do 4th of july here in utah, you should!), and today on the internet i felt a lot of that same pride that i see often in my community. thank you to all of my fellow citizens - and our friends around the world - who spoke up today. and keep speaking. this is only going to escalate as agi approaches. but today i’m very proud to be an american, and i’ll always continue to be long the usa. god bless the united states of america.
