I’m proud to be an American. 

I’m proud of James Shaw, who wrestled a gun away from a shooter in a Waffle House.

I’m proud of Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg for standing up and speaking out against gun violence. 

I’m proud of Rose McGowan, Asia Argento, Ashley Judd, Tarana Burke, and all the women who shouted “Me too!”

I’m proud of Terry Crews for stepping forward for men who’ve been harassed and abused.

I’m proud of the people who gave their time to help immigrants at airports …

…and on the border.

I’m proud of the everyday people who pitch in to help others in hurricanes …

… to feed the hungry …

… to help children read ...

… to rescue dogs off the street …

… and to provide clean water to Flint residents.

I’m proud that we hold our politicians feet to the fire …

…gather together and march ..

… call lies and idiocy on the carpet …

… and don’t let the bullshit keep them home. 

I am so damn proud this country, the good that is evident every damn day.  Those who want to drag the US back into the kitchen, force it back into closets, put their hands where the want, ignore the tired, poor, hungry, needy, and disabled … well they better get out of the way because THIS is the United States of America. 

They’ve already lost; they just don’t know it yet.
