I bumped into something on Mastodon just a short while before I was emailed this announcement...

"Leave it to the States" was a pro-slavery argument.

It still is.

I am not sure what Mastodon is and I am not sure what KB's work has to do with the phrase but I am a bit shocked that people don't know that this phrase is a pro slavery argument? Ah who am I kidding, nobody reads anything ....

I saw the phrase "abolitionist activism" and that made that other quote pop into my head. It's not necessarily related; more just one of those synaptic happenstances.

Mastodon is where I moved all my micro-blog social-media activity after some vile git bought (and ruined) Twitter.
