Why Sports Still Bring Us Together

Anyone else notice how, even with all the division these days, sports are still the one place we all come together? Watching the USMNT face Guatemala in St. Louis, it hit me—fans from both sides, different backgrounds, all cheering in the same stadium. Whether it’s a walk-off homer or a buzzer-beater, those moments unite us like nothing else. On the Fourth, I’m just grateful for the game and the way it still makes us feel like one big team. #Sports #SportsUnite #FourthOfJuly

Fireworks Frenzy: 4th of July in Pics

Fireworks are basically the main character of the Fourth of July, right? This year, American skies were absolutely lit—literally—with massive displays coast to coast. Even though fireworks send thousands to the ER every year (ouch), people can’t get enough. Fun fact: we spent $2.2 billion on fireworks this year, up from just $407 million in 2000! Check out these jaw-dropping photos of the night’s best explosions. Which city had the most epic show? #Culture #FourthOfJuly #Fireworks

Why July 4th Feels Different Now

Ever get teary at fireworks as a kid? Same. But celebrating July 4th hits different when you’re an immigrant who’s seen both sides. The U.S. was once the dream—freedom, opportunity, all that. Now, with all the division and drama, it’s complicated. Even Canadians are skipping trips to the States because of politics! This year, fewer Americans are feeling patriotic, and honestly, I get it. Maybe it’s time to remember what made America special in the first place: openness, equality, and real freedom for everyone. #Culture #FourthOfJuly #ImmigrantStories

Patriotic Pets Take Over Philly!

You have to see the Betsy Ross House’s Patriotic Pet Parade! Philly’s cutest (and wildest) pets—from chihuahuas to a bearded dragon and even a ball python—showed off their red, white, and blue looks. The judges dressed up too, and the competition was fierce for titles like “best dressed” and “most patriotic.” The crowd fave? Yorkshire Terrier twins Lilo and Stitch, who totally nailed their runway moment. Who knew the Fourth of July could be this adorable? #Pets #PhillyPets #FourthOfJuly
