JUNETEENTH in Harlem. This is what America is about. Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep. It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

Charlie Kirk tells a 14 year old high school freshman that she should only go to college to get an “MRS degree.” An “MRS degree” is the idea that a woman attends college primarily to find a husband, rather than pursue academic or career goals. Misogynistic men are a cancer to society.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

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.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

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.

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

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.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Senator Klobuchar calls it what it is: a big, beautiful betrayal. This bill gives $400,000 tax breaks to millionaires while kicking 16 million people off their health care. Working families lose care so the wealthy can get richer. #HandsOffMedicaid

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

The truth is pretty simple: If your vision for America requires fewer people voting, less healthcare, lower wages, and more corporate power — it’s not patriotism. It’s just cruelty dressed up in red, white, and blue.
