Here's a #FridayClassic from 2018. Timely then, timely now.

The parade that once was.

🤣🤣

If we don't save our Democracy, all of the other issues won't matter. Vote 💙💙💙

“Keep your foot on the gas” We are in this together! #resistersunited #strongertogether #bluecrew

If you see someone talk about leftist purity testing, it's because they're angry they're expected to try to be better people. Just like incels who say that women only want sexy rich men. It has to be the woman's high standards that's the problem, and not that they're a misogynist who doesn't bathe.

In 10 short years we've let Propaganda and disinformation take over. I'm really not sure Technology is a good thing.

This is ridiculous. Just wanting to be vicious to people. This isn't ok! @cajunblue.bsky.social

On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.

It’s Juneteenth so this is a reminder to read books from members of the Black/African Disapora, from fiction (like the Legendborn series), historical and beyond. Here are a few recs that I highlighted in Feb. 💖

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Skrmetti is not just a blow to transgender youth in Tennessee. It is part of a larger erosion of personal liberty in America.

30 years ago, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnd0eSuxu84

RIGHT NOW I’m at the DTLA federal detention facility. My constituents are demanding answers: Where are the people ICE violently snatched from Pasadena this morning? Are they getting due process? I won’t stop until we get the truth.

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

Rate it! This stunning owl camouflage.

“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.

Younger siblings be like..

Ask your doctor what treatment the supreme court decided is right for you.

So much for MAHA.

Phones either ect... 🙄

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

The two arresting ICE officers who detained Brad Lander are both immigrants - one, a Pakistani Muslim and the other, Indo-Guyanese. I don't have a followup sentence here.

I need this right now

It’s time for Billie Jean King on the Gay of the Day!!! #tennis star, advocate and overall incredible woman. #pride #pridemonth #lgbt #lgbtqia #history #sports

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

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.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

I’m now sharing more with a Russian hacker than I do with my therapist.

BREAKING NEWS: Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.

sweet Wren Walker was almost st missed but it was saved just in time. Let us celebrate and congratulate lovely Wren @wrenwalker.bsky.social on achieving her 15K milestone. Very well done.

Their America is vanishing because they voted against their economic interests for decades in order to pursue a backward social agenda. They voted themselves out of the middle class, and now they want to blame others.

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

F- Fascism!!

#ProudBlue I like this new Pope already.
