I couldn't bring myself to celebrate today, so I protested instead. I dont know if it's helpful, but I know a cookout and fireworks wouldn't be.

“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say, ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

No one has a right to genocide. A two state solution isn't possible when one state isn't recognized and isn't allowed to have food or water.
We need to call out world leaders trying to fall back on old talking points while a genocide is being broadcast before our eyes with the west's complicity

Empathy is logical. Anyone who tells you it isn't does not have a firm grasp on empathy or logic.

Trump’s DOJ ordered ICE agents to conduct home raids without a warrant, in clear violation of the 4th Amendment.

And three American children were just unlawfully deported, including one with cancer.

Where is the outrage from the so-called “party of freedom”?

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

Just reposting this to say if you’re attending the WHCA dinner tonight, you’ve earned the flotilla of fuck yous that’s coming your way.

Here, let me get it started: fuck you.
If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen.

Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Do not let Trump gaslight you into believing he has a mandate or is all powerful.

Most Americans don't support his cruel agenda.

His approval ratings are in the gutter.

Individuals and institutions are fighting back in courts and winning.

Keep up the fight.

Do not be scared, they want you scared.

Do not temper your expectations of our government, they want that, too.

Are there reasons to be fearful? Yes.

But don’t be scared. Let the fear be fuel for courage to demand better and fight for better.

Don’t be scared.

The way to save democracy is to practice it.

All those things you may say “I agree with that, but now is not the time,” demand them.

Now IS the time. Elected officials SHOULD work for you.

The more they do so, the better.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador.

Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov
Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.
