Their Loved Ones Died to Give Us the Voting Rights Act. They Have a Message for the Supreme Court.
One of the simplest and most immediate steps Americans can take regain control of their rights is to simply vote and force accountability on politicians. “Otherwise, you sit there and moan and groan and don’t vote. They’re going to do what they want,”

In the US, prisoners are often charged room and board in prison, whilst also being pressed to work for little or no money, meaning they come out in debt, making them either be indentured to a job (which is hard to find with a criminal record) or return to a life of crime.

A quotation from Frederick Douglass
What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.
Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer
Speech (1852-07-05), “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Corinthian Hall, Rochester, New YorkMore about this quote: wist.info/douglass-frederick/8…

I. A Street That Built NothingThere was nothing remarkable about Wall Street itself.It produced no steel. It laid no railroad. It harvested no wheat.No ships were built there, no coal was mined, and no bridges rose from its pavements.Yet by the end of the nineteenth century, decisions made on a few blocks of lower Manhattan increasingly determined which railroads would be built, which factories would expand, which companies would survive, and which industries would disappear.This […]https://gotunitedstates.wordpress.com/2026/07/20/the-rise-of-wall-street/
