If Douglas were to return - just for a look around. What do you think he would say? I'll guess:
"You have had almost 200 years and this is the best you can do? Try harder! I'm going back to my grave. Wake me up when you have a society to be truly proud of. Wake me when you are woke."
Both. But mostly we viewed Rush and Co as fringe. Not capable of attaining power and control. How naive we were. This liar and bullshitter should have been tarred and feathered. His lies set the example for $Trump.
There will be a reading of Douglass's speech on the Grafton, MA, town common tomorrow, July 5, at 6:30PM. Activities begin at 5:30PM. Bring a picnic and enjoy.
Love ❤️ the gator—make the caption
TASTES LIKE CHICKEN TACOS!
Great post Bill. Love the alligator picture and Sophie.
A historic inconvenient truth I discovered while browsing and relaxing in Paris, from the Smithsonian by Frederick Douglas 1852
Happy 4th of July

Essay in Le Monde about how republicans dominate media.
Were democrats too tolerant or sharing the profits ?

Fantastic !
We’ve been wandering France and Italy for the past couple months. So many people ask what’s wrong with US thinking.
I tell them that too many people just believe without thinking.
Looking good, Sophie!
Great stuff, Bill!
I made a new poster today for the next protest:
While pmurT May
Take Away
Our Rights and
Our Treasure,
He Can't Have
Our Hearts or
Our Patriotism!
I was just about to hang my flag (upside down, of course) when I read your post. I'll put it up today, and turn it tomorrow. Thanks, Bill.
