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.

Palestinians in Gaza need help and money. Abdsafi is fundraising for his sister Walaa, who urgently needs to be evacuated for spinal surgery. Share and give, and follow his account to hear voices from Gaza.

Every Palestinian you know still watches videos of terrified families screaming and parents holding their dead children after airstrikes. We have been watching for eight months. And this is not the first war. Just to keep whatever you expect of the Palestinian in your life in perspective

Last year Pakistan ejected 500,000 Afghan refugees back to Afghanistan. It is gearing up to force another 800,000 Afghan refugees this year. Afghans can leave willingly or face deportation. What a world.

A disaster and everyone who greenlighted Biden doing this should be fired. I argued it was a mistake to validate Trump as a legitimate or routine candidate but I also read that Time interview with Biden and while I do not think he is senile he is seriously diminished and communicates poorly.
