American Christians need to remember that Jesus Christ was, whilst "illegal", morally innocent and minding his own business on a lovely walk around Gethsemane, and was arrested unjustly, tortured and murdered.

This is exactly what I needed this morning 🖤 🔊 📸 tejidoranch

“There is a vast chasm between the concept of freedom inscribed on paper and the reality of freedom in our lives.” Revisit Jelani Cobb‘s piece, from 2020, on Juneteenth and the meaning of freedom.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Every day a different Democratic member of Congress should go to an ICE facility to inspect their detention facilities or speak to a detainee—and bring the media. That’s such an easy fight to have.

I'll say it over and over. I do not believe in gate keeping. I do not believe in pulling up the ladder. I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next. Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Trump announces decision on Iran-Israel conflict expected in two weeks, sparking widespread criticism for using his characteristic timeline.

A visual representation of our US government fucktastrophy. So yeah... it's time to cancel the SpaceX contract.

Routine SpaceX rocket test results in routine SpaceX rocket explosion. Look closely and you can see billions of our tax dollars in that fireball. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/19/s...

www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s... Let’s not forget Musk eliminated oversight of SpaceX so debris and fuel combusting into the atmosphere would not be investigated.

@tizzyent.bsky.social find her. It was on Father’s Day in Buffalo NY Like who hurt this woman that she felt like she needed to hurt literally everyone else

There are people. And there still are moments.

This is just fear and cruelty. Transgender people are literally only 1% of the population. People can't even name a time when they engaged a transgender person let alone a single instance where they cause them any harm. GOP spent $215 million on this manufactured panic.

“Life is wasted when we make it more terrifying, precisely because it is so easy to do so.” Enchantment and the courage of joy – René Magritte on the antidote to the banality of pessimism www.themarginalian.org/2023/05/31/r...

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

This drum circle is a sacred honor in memory of slain MN State Legislator Melissa Hortman, at the candlelight vigil

Hard to argue with that.

Today is Juneteenth...it commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States.

Tucker Carlson vs Ted Cruz

Can we start promoting a new nickname: Squeaky Tank Trump?

If the United States is preparing to join a direct attack on Tehran, that is madness. If we aren’t, publicly signalling that we are likely to is also madness.

For those who think evacuating Tehran is possible based on #Israel’s warnings, which are nothing but a performative act. It would take weeks if not months to evacuate Tehran. What’s represented here doesn’t even come close to capturing the full size of #Iran’s capital city.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Before parroting Israel’s talking points on Iran, know this: 🚨 Israel bombed Iran first 🚨 Iran hasn’t invaded another country in over 200 years 🚨 It signed the nuclear deal—Israel opposed it 🚨 U.S./Israel backed Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war 🚨 Israel has nukes, Iran doesn’t

Our wonderful Iran.

My Iran…Our Iran

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

If Jesus had an Instagram, what would he post? Retouched selfies? I'm going with no. If he were in power in the US, who, if anyone, would he deport?

11 MILLION PEOPLE!! 💥💥💥 Are we nearing the magic 3.5%?? Never forget….WE hold the power. #nokings
