That is the first time I have heard that version of the Star Spangled Banner. What a joy that was and rest in peace Marvin Gaye!

I am a moderate, somewhere between conservative democrat and liberal republican. I think Mayor Mamdami's talk yesterday was the finest description of what we should be proud of as Americans. And the F*KS news inane response was the finest example of the propaganda machine trying to ruin everything. Could you please replay the Mandami video in a subsequent newsletter. Maybe just feature it now and then?

Thank you so much for providing the link to Marvin Gaye's version of the Star-Spangled Banner. Absolutely beautiful. That--and this newsletter--gives me hope!

Read the 27 grievances against the British Crown in 1776 as outlined in the Declaration of Independence and decide if they apply to Trump

Thank you. For being able to appreciate being a US citizen while simultaneously sharing our collective outrage. Oh and thanks for sharing Marvin Gaye and this timless rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

Happy Independence Day to all of us who are trying our best to be happy about it. I'm declaring my independence from Republicans. I'll celebrate in November. It will be a joyous Thanksgiving.
