Thank you, baseball!♥️⚾️

I’m shocked having someone write your essay doesn’t make you smarter

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come—and how much further we still have to go. It marks the moment freedom finally reached our people right here in Texas. Our people took what was withheld and built something powerful: resilience, pride, and a legacy we carry to this day. (1/2)

There is no substitute for critical thinking. Period. #AI

I’ve been wondering when this was coming. Buckle your seatbelts, folks… #Iran #Israel #Trump #Russia #War www.reuters.com/world/middle... Russia warns US not to help Israel militarily against Iran | Reuters

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

It’s such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, “this might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!” and “Jesus might be retuning soon!” instead of “look at how much people are suffering!” and “how can we stop this injustice?”

The Juneteenth flag symbolizes liberation. The star marks Texas, where the enslaved were freed in Galveston in 1865. The arc is a new horizon, and the red, white & blue colors affirm that the enslaved are American. 64 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD

This was one of the most inspiring actions I have ever been to. In part because everyone there was invoking the spirit of this great city. My beloved New York City. We showed up today. Let's keep showing up. Free them all.

Facts matter.

Woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness!

At least 12 million people ( 3.7% of US pop) took a stand against the Trump regime and fascism on Saturday. The next step is a national general strike and boycotts. When 3.5% of the whole population of a nation has begun to participate in resistance, success is inevitable. #3E #NoKings #StopICE

See how the Murdoch’s spin yesterday’s atrocities? Somehow a tidbit that in 2019 Gov. Walz appointed Boelter to a Workforce Development Board as a “business and industry representative” is more important than his lifelong affiliation with Fundamentalist Christianity or Republican politics. #Murdoch

Basically any time protests “turn violent” it’s because the cops decided to start shooting at people. I learned this during Bloomberg here in NYC and in Boston during Trump I. Delighted to see other people learning this too but sorry it’s being learned through experience.

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

To counter the maddness, remember: "That spiders dream, monkeys tease predators, dolphins have accents, lions can be scared. There isn't their life and ours, nor your life and mine. Iť's just one teetering endless thread and all of us are (entwined) as deep as entanglement goes." ||Kate Forster

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Has a single Republican come forward to denounce the politically motivated and deadly shootings of lawmakers in Minnesota?

A great turnout in little old Bellows Falls, Vermont for No Kings. Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t. #NoKings

Spot on…

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

“I think the world needs a lot more angry young women.” ~ Greta Thunberg C’mon, y’all, let’s make this one go viral…✊ #GretaThunberg #Gaza #Palestine

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

The Big Beautiful Bill Act (HR1) does not explicitly rewrite the Bill of Rights, however, it substantially reduces civil liberties in practice by stripping due process protections, weakening privacy, suppressing dissent, and disproportionately targeting vulnerable groups. Here's how:

Oh, shit…

So much winning… (Or is it wheezing? 🤷‍♂️)

#FightFascism

Isn't it weird that Elon Musk took a flamethrower to trump's bill, took a public dump all over it, and trump hasn't responded to it. No statement. Not a tweet. Nothing. Like a TACO bitch ass punk.

🗽Trump's War on Free Speech Is a War on All of Us. To be silent now is to surrender the very freedoms that define us. We will not be silenced. And we will not back down. www.newsletter.peoplepowerunited.org/p/we-will-no...

Happy Pride to my cherished bad-ass LGBTQ+ friends out there. Millions of Americans stand proudly with you. #pride

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.
