“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.” — President Theodore Roosevelt.

Pride is in full bloom.

I think even Tony Soprano would be offended.

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

Notes from an old broad.. and why do they cover their face? Can anyone answer this?

For the people who always say they're all the same.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

ICE arrested Elsy Noemi Berrios without cause or due process, damaging her car and traumatizing her family in the process. America cannot be a country where this is considered acceptable. Call Congress to demand due process: 202-224-3121 #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump #PeoplesMovement

RepubliKKKans willing to Steal An Election and Support an Insurrectionist and A FELON, They're All Treasonous Criminals......

Karoline Leavitt said the Trump regime is pushing for the trades while defunding Harvard. Now, they’re defunding Job Corps. They aren’t advocating for trades people. They want uneducated folks with no skills to work for any wage and any condition www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...

They lied and continue to lie. If you think this stops at Medicaid ,you are wrong . They will go after Medicare as well. If you think that will not impact private insurance , you are wrong. Private insurance will triple and death panels will be bigger than ever . Just my take 🤷

In San Diego this weekend. Neighbors banded together and forced the ICE thugs out. This is how it's done. They think our voices don't have any power.

TRUTH‼️

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

This was my first celebrity interview after grad school, I aimed for a New Yorker-level profile, and it helped me get the TIME cover story assignment for Crazy Rich Asians. It also paid me $300.

Okay, everyone. Let's be loud and proud! Just because it's June, June, Joan! 😍🎼 #HappyPrideMonth #JuneIsBustinOutAllOver

Remember when Donald Trump got caught with all sorts of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after saying he didn't have anything, and then he got indicted but the judge slow walked the case to death? Yup. He did that.

Caring about hostages isnt even necessarily supporting Israel at this point! This is so horrifying. There is no justification for throwing Molotov cocktails at people marching peacefully and it will do nothing to help Palestinians. It only energizes those weaponizing antisemitism

No matter how loudly Musk turns on his former allies, the public must remember: he is not a victim. He is not a misunderstood genius. He is not a fallen hero.

I’m no fan of JPMorgan/Chase because they are one of the leading financiers of fossil fuel development worldwide, but I hope their decision to hire former NOAA chief scientist Sarah Kapnick is a sign of awakening on their part. www-cnbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.cnbc...

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

While Trump wastes nearly $100 million on his birthday parade in DC, we will be taking to the streets everywhere else to show the world what democracy really looks like. Find your local event: www.nokings.org

Thank you to Michael Albert at ZNetwork for allowing us to provide feedback for this article and showing how critical it is that we work together to create a revolution that builds on itself. Also - for pointing out the tension surrounding June 14, and how we should respond.

sars_cov.2_covid_19 Just spoke with my CDC sources: a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Louisiana, NYC, LA, DC, Colorado, and more. It's also fueling surges in China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia.
