Fascinating story.. you know it happened but it's weird to read it and imagine it was absolutely real.
Happy Juneteenth! A reminder that we can change as a country. May we never have to liberate by war again.
Happy Juneteenth
Idk why so many people are upset or arguing. Sorry to add to the noise but I’m a naturalized citizen here and I feel like USA has so much history of doing better and moving things forward for everyone.
People all operate independently in thought here, but somehow since 1776 they have genuinely pushed society forward all things considered.
Everyone acting out of self interest but in a direction where things get better, objectively speaking, makes it a good society.
It is superior to living under dictatorships, corruption rotted “democracies”, or religious intolerance where the people always lose.
By slumberlust 2025-06-2014:34 I appreciate the external vantage point, and agree that life across the board is improving and it's tough to retain that perspective in the modern era. Equally as important is remembering that much of the progress we enjoy today was not free, but was fought and paid for in blood. It is also at risk of constant erosion and requires vigilance and consistency to push back on.
