The fire knows what we refuse to say out loud -- That we chose the ash. We chose the loss. We let the cowards draw the line, and called it "cost." Wildland fire, in your heart it grows. And nobody puts it out by looking the other way.

NEW: Wildfire in Boulder near People’s Crossing is prompting evacuations from 4th street on west. Winds are about as light as can be and there’s good humidity as well…hoping this can help firefighters get a handle on this quickly. #COwx

It is not enough to make good plans, Not enough to write the words across the land. You can map the gaps and name the policy -- But if the man thinks he'll lose a buck, that's where it all runs flat, that's where they leave you standing, smoke still rising from the mat. suno.com/s/uWW9hCyvdY...

The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and the crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced. www.democracynow.org/2026/7/3/wha...

“What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?”: Frederick Douglass Speech Read by James Earl Jones

We begin our July Fourth special broadcast with the words of Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery around 1818, Douglass became a key leader of the abolitionist movement. On July 5, 1852, in Rochester...

At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed. O! had I the ability, and could reach the nation’s ear, I would, to-day, pour forth a stream, a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke.

There is not a nation of the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of these United States at this very hour.

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 that would disgrace a nation of savages.

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 denunciation of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery;

What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days of the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is a constant victim.

Ken @kenboulder.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

You may rejoice, I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony. Do you mean, citizens, to mock me, by asking me to speak today?

The sunlight that brought life and healing to you has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth of July is yours, not mine.

I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us. The blessings in which you this day rejoice are not enjoyed in common.

Ken @kenboulder.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

And am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us?

FREDERICK DOUGLASS: [read by James Earl Jones] Fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here to-day? What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence?

HOWARD ZINN: Frederick Douglass, once a slave, became a brilliant and powerful leader of the anti-slavery movement. In 1852, he was asked to speak in celebration of the Fourth of July.
