On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass was invited to address the citizens of his hometown, Rochester, New York. Whatever the expectations of his audience on that 76th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Douglass used the occasion not to celebrate the nation’s triumphs but to remind all of its continuing enslavement of millions of people. Douglass’s speech appears below.

(1852) Frederick Douglass, “What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth Of July”

Welp. It’s election day in California. It’s a tremendous waste of time and resources but here we are. If you haven’t voted already I highly encourage you to vote no so we can carry on working on real problems. #california #recall

There sure is a lot of complaining from the right about Twitter et al. Perhaps they could pull themselves up by their bootstraps and build other platforms. I would point them towards open source options but that might feel too much like socialism.
