Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

It’s time

Congressman Jason Smith is a slack-jawed embarrassment to the state of Missouri...

So much for MAHA.

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.

Juneteenth is American history. And in our fight for liberty and justice for all, the end of slavery in the U.S. marked a turning point we should all be proud to celebrate. It's up to all of us to keep learning from the past and working toward a better future.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotline—a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people. When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over care—every time. But this is the party of “family values,” right?

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Y'all know what to do

Bigots need to stop saying they're fine with immigrants entering "the right way," because y'all are applauding and saying "I voted for this" when they snatch people WHO ARE FOLLOWING THE LEGAL PROCESS. Just admit you want ALL Black and Brown people gone.

‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.

She was right.

If you hear one thing I say today, let it be this: you cannot appease your way out of tyranny. There is no measure of safety you can secure for yourself by capitulating with a fascist regime.

What country is this?

This should be a national debate, not an executive power grab. 📌 The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

Musk vs. Trump: Same old WWF bullshit.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Are we great yet?

Watching Trump and Elon fall out is like watching two thieves argue over who got caught on camera. Newsflash: it was both of y’all.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

Let's be fair here. Just because Elon says that Trump is in the Epstein files and just because there are dozens of photos with Trump & Epstein together and just because Trump called Epstein a "terrific guy" who "likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side"...

Yes. Yes it is.

There's a special place in hell for those who hide behind scripture.

Now they’re using tear gas & stun grenades on the crowds that witness their cowardly “raids.” They’re shit-scared. This is gonna lead to bystander deaths. Look at these zilches in their Judge Dredd cosplay. This is the happiest moment of their miserable, forgettable lives.

Spare us the fake outrage.

I’m horrified by the inexcusable act of terror targeting people who were peacefully demonstrating for the release of the remaining hostages in Israel. This is tragic and terrifying for all of us, but especially the Jewish community. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...
