Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

right wing think tanks are making thinly veiled threats of political violence, the Supreme Court has neutralized the regulatory power of broad swaths of government, and the fate of the executive branch depends on whether the 81 year old atop it can learn to breakdance or something. Happy July 4th

as a democrat i refuse to hand wins to the republicans by making a martyr of trump or bypassing traditional checks and balances that will make it easy to call us authoritarian. i prefer to hand wins to the republicans by doing all their policy goals for them

In 1992 Pat Buchanan was the darling of the fascistic far right. That year conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer called Pat a “fascist.” In 2001 Pat wrote a book that was basically “Camp of the Saints, America style.” That whole time Pat was a regular “conservative” face on PBS & the networks

and so a non-example got added to a list of reasons why those amenities should be shut down. how many of the other examples also don’t have any evidence? this is how false and anti-social narratives are built. new events are added to the list, supporting the narrative, regardless of applicability

a bad crash happened in my small town recently that significantly damaged a public structure. ppl in the local facebook group decided it was a drunk outsider with zero information and demanded that our local bar AND public recreation area be closed as a result of their assumption.
