douglass is really spittin' in this one ("the sources of danger to the republic")
![In fact, I am here to-night as a democrat, a genuine democrat dyed in
the wool. (Laughter.) I am here to advocate a genuine democratic republic;
to make this a republican form of government, purely a republic, a genuine
republic; free it from everything that looks toward monarchy; eliminate all
foreign elements, all alien elements from it; blot out from it everything
antagonistic of republicanism declared by the fathers—that idea was that
all governments derived their first powers from the consent of the gov
erned; make it a government of the people, by the people and for the
people, and for all the people, each for all and all for each; blot out all
discriminations against any person, theoretically or practically, and make it
conform to the great truths laid down by the fathers; keep no man from the
ballot box or jury box or the cartridge box, because of his color—exclude
no woman from the ballot box because of her sex. (Applause.) Let the
government of the country rest securely down upon the shoulders of the
whole nation; let there be no shoulder that does not bear up its proportion of
the burdens of the government. Let there [be] no conscience, no intellect in
the land not directly responsible for the moral character of the govern
ment—for the honor of the government. Let it be a genuine Republic, in
which every man subject to it is represented in it, and I see no reason why a
Republic may not stand while the world stands. (Applause.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nvfposmpmhegtyvhbs75s3pw/bafkreihd6vwd2pzbhlkwvldn63wltzju3pt24p447r25bv2x7gsgaiibiu@jpeg)

I honestly don’t care if my body is beautiful to you or anyone. It’s the only one I have, I can’t change it (I’ve tried so I know). You don’t have to treat me like I’m beautiful, just treat me like a person. If you can’t do that then be silent.

This one still packs an emotional punch, especially after experiencing a bunch of these all in the same appointment as if the medical provider was trying to play BINGO.

I absolutely see red when people do this. And people do it all the time.
We definitely already know it’s bad?? We know that firsthand, and many of us have loved ones who can’t pay for care they desperately need??? Maybe don’t salt that wound????

honestly one of my least favorite things about old twitter was the cluster of dudes from the UK and Canada just hangin out chilling and telling Americans suffering under for-profit care how stupid and thoughtless we are for not having free healthcare
I guess I have even less patience for it now
