Frederick Douglass said it in 1852, and for many, it still echoes today: "This Fourth of July is yours, not mine." If that hits home — if the fireworks feel distant from your reality — you're not alone, and your grief is valid. Liberty promised isn't liberty lived for everyone yet.
"I am not included within the pale of 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. The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought light and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn."
- Frederick Douglass, July 5, 1852

A federal judge has ordered White House personnel to continue complying with the Presidential Records Act after the Trump Justice Department argued in a legal opinion last month that the law was "unconstitutional" and that Trump has the authority to destroy presidential records from his term.

Nothing moves. Yet everything is changing.
Photo by Lukas Hartmann. A lone, slender tree rises from the still waters of a lake, its branches leaning gracefully toward the sky. The surface mirrors the tree and surrounding hills, creating a quiet symmetry beneath a sky of soft, moving clouds. Distant mountains frame the scene, their muted greens and grays blending into the tranquil reflection below.
