Trump drops f-bomb as Israel and Iran face accusations of ceasefire violations www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Truth:

Have you ever met a MAGA artist? MAGA poet? MAGA comedian? They create nothing. They find nothing poetic. They possess no humor. They are miserable people who try to impose their misery on others.

Adam Schiff speaks truth to power 🔩🪛🧪🐎😁- just watch! youtube.com/shorts/srfrr...

From Wikipedia: The orca (Orcinus orca), or killer whale, is a toothed whale and the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family.

Did you know that “killer whales,” a.k.a. Orcas, are actually oceanic dolphins? 🧪

Normal lives alongside the incredibly abnormal these days. A small town parade juxtaposed with bombs. Candy and another forever war. Fishing poles and deployments. A nice back porch conversation and the threat of a nuclear war. Horrifying alongside the mundane jesspiper.substack.com/p/a-small-to...

Amen, Rabbi.

It's not often i manage to capture more than one Kingfisher in the same photo, so here's my #StunDay capture for this lovely warm Sunday morning with 2 of them on the same reed at Rodley Nature Reserve. #birds #wildlife #EastCoastKin #ukbirding @rspb.bsky.social #naturephotography #birdphotography

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

Bernie is correct, as usual. Resist!

Schiff: "It's not an operation that should've ever been authorized by the president in the absence of intelligence showing that Iran had made the decision to break out and build a bomb."

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

Yeow!

This is dangerously reckless, illegal and impeachable action by a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man. It comes on the tails of his sad, sparsely attended military parade intended to showcase his power. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Today, on Juneteenth, I see this hard-won national holiday as a celebration of progress. As interconnected human beings, we have a long way to go, but Juneteenth gives me hope that love can still prevail. #juneteenth

We thank #FormerPresident @JoeBiden who in 2021, made #Juneteenth the very first #FederalHoliday since the creation of #MLKDay in 1984. This, will ultimately be his legacy. 🙏 #Juneteenth #KeepTheFaith #Resist ✊️

Beautiful and moving. Thanks for sharing. Happy #Juneteenth

#Juneteenth can’t be canceled by trump as it’s a federal holiday. This holiday observed on June 19th, is also known as Emancipation Day or Freedom Day. #Pinks Cities and states have CANCELED Juneteenth celebrations citing a rollback in DEI initiatives, budgets and more. 😡 news.northeastern.edu

#Juneteenth marks the day on June 19th, 1865, when Federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to declare the emancipation of all Americans, of every slave being freed. It shouldn’t even have been necessary... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/this-junet...

Happy #Juneteenth! 🤎🙏🏾✊🏾

I feel like people need reminding: We have acknowledged #Juneteenth here for generations, without acknowledgement from the federal gov’t or corporate sponsorship. We will continue to do so. Them folks can only gentrify our holiday if we let them. Some background: nmaahc.si.edu/explore/mome...

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

#Nokings Day Success! 60,000 people were on the follow-up call afterwards.

💩 Trump’s 💩birthday party 🎉 parade was a huge success…but not in the way he planned 😆 Five million or more anti-Trump protesters all over the USA- No Kings Day was a huge success! The American people are unstoppable, and #indivisible— Pushback and community support works! 🧪

Gavin Newsom has landed on a real strategy for resisting Trump After Trump federalized National Guard troops in L.A. to quell small-scale mostly peaceful protests last weekend, Newsom immediately correctly identified Trump’s decision as a “breach of state sovereignty” www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

This beautiful photo with the lush green background and bubbles refracting 🧪 the sunlight could be the opening image for a story- now zoom out in your mind’s eye. #art #beauty #booksky #photography #imagination

My 7 year old Granddaughter had an idea last night. She wanted me to take pictures of bubbles made by a bubble maker toy she got for her birthday. So she made the bubbles and I took the pictures! Strikes me as a happy, hopeful picture. And a good distraction from the news. #Photography

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
