Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

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.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

I feel like getting the phrase “George W. Trump” trending on social media is all it would take to deter him from going to war with Iran

1. The "crisis" in Iran was solved in 2015. The United States and others negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which imposed a rigorous inspection regime that cut off Iran’s path to a bomb. Then Trump withdrew from the agreement for no reason.

Trans rights are the issue because human rights are the issue. This is ICE and immigration, this is LGBTQIA+ survival, this is women's health and choice, this is Muslim bans and murders, this is THE ISSUE. Do people who aren't white conservative Christians deserve rights? That's the issue.

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

After ruling the NIH grant terminations illegal, Judge Young ended the hearing with an eye-opening speech. “This represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so.”

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

A college classmate in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this photo she took at the “No Kings” protest there. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to it.

Don’t want to lose sight of the fact that the No Kings rallies were planned specifically as counterprogramming to Trump’s parade. Imagine if you were planning a birthday party and bars nationwide announced they’d hold Fuck That Guy’s Birthday Night and like 15 times as many people showed up to those

Thousands of peaceful protesters have lined the road for over 8 continuous miles just outside of Washington DC right now! They did not vote for a king and they are well aware that Trump is trying to cut off their health care benefits to give tax breaks to him and his billionaire donors friends.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible
