“So Kansas was free. In vain did the sullen Senate in Washington fume and threaten and keep the young state knocking for admission; the game had been played and lost and Kansas was free. Free because the slave barons played for an imperial stake in defiance of modern humanity and economic development. Free because strong men had suffered and fought not against slavery but against slaves in Kansas. Above all, free because one man hated slavery and on a terrible night rode down with his sons among the shadows of the Swamp of the Swan—that long, low-winding and sombre stream "fringed everywhere with woods" and dark with bloody memory. Forty-eight hours they lingered there, and then of a pale May morning rode up to the world again. Behind them lay five twisted, red and mangled corpses. Behind them rose the stifled wailing of widows and little children. Behind them the fearful driver gazed and shuddered. But before them rode a man, tall, dark, grim-faced and awful. His hands were red and his name was John Brown. Such was the cost of freedom.” ― W.E.B. Du Bois, John Brown

The Harrowing of Hell by Evan Dahm has some great pages, the whole thing has a fantastic message (if you're not already getting there later in the thread)

defector.com/an-interview... really good glimpse into the destruction being wrought by eliminating so many crucial public goods
It's cutting off your nose to spite your face. If you dismantle NOAA, you also are pretty much promising that people are going to get Vibrio [infections] when they eat oysters and then die of food poisoning. You're promising that they're going to drown in their homes because they couldn't evacuate from a hurricane. You're promising that will be more oil and chemical spills on waterways around the country, not just in South Louisiana, that won't get cleaned up because there's no one to do the cleanup.
