“Birthright Citizenship” by Clay Bennett

Seems like a slogan worth saving…

Wowza that was a good question

This is what sane countries do, but instead the US has immoral conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones pretending that children didn't die, parents weren't grieving, and kids haven't been traumatized, because it's a hoax to take away your gunnnnnnnns.

Time for the annual schoolhouse rock style history lesson about slavery and the origins of Juneteenth from The Roots

Happy Juneteenth!

Today is Juneteenth...it commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States.

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

👇👇👇

I say again: men are clearly too emotional to be in leadership.

Have any Utah Republicans called Mike Lee out? Anyone ask @spencercox.bsky.social? Or how about the LDS church? Do they have any firm positions on lying and laughing about murder?

Yesterday, according to estimates by event organizers, millions marched in protest against the Trump administration, including its recent controversial immigration enforcement raids. Hundreds of “No Kings” demonstrations took place in cities and towns throughout the U.S.

I was chief of staff to a Cabinet secretary and vice president. I have a high opinion of the various federal protective services and personnel with whom I worked. But the fish rots from the head down. Today’s thuggish behavior in LA is just one of the many corrupting effects of Trump and Trumpism.

"Trump Accounts" would do nothing to close the wealth gap in America. Congress should reject them & instead pass Baby Bonds—a serious, inclusive, & economically sound proposal for advancing economic justice. @darrickhamilton.bsky.social & I explain why: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Rep. Pat Ryan: " Were you ever required to make a pledge of political loyalty?" Gen. Caine: "No." Rep. Pat Ryan: "  Should soldiers have to pledge political loyalty to participate in an event with our Commander in Chief? " Gen. Caine: "No."

For the record: The Confederates fought a war against the United States to defend the institution of slavery. Period.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. #AccountabilityForJanuary6th

Thank you Trump and Stephen Miller for saving us from this

Without comment. Keep hammering this.

this is one of the most insane home run robberies i've seen

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

Thoughts and prayers to America's Gestapo, cowering in fear in the face of such violent [checks notes] . . . ur, dancing in the streets.

After 25 years with American Ballet Theater, Misty Copeland, the first Black woman ever to be named a principal dancer with the company, is retiring. She recently spoke about her historic career, her upcoming final performance and more. Watch, read or listen to “The Interview.” nyti.ms/4kYnzpP

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1966: James Meredith is shot by a sniper one day into his solo civil rights march from Memphis, Tenn. to Jackson, Miss. The civil rights activist and Air Force veteran undertook his “March Against” Fear” to encourage African Americans to register to vote. /1

That's why.

Unprecedentedly strong intervention by ICRC. “Palestinians, she says, have been stripped of human dignity. International humanitarian law is being hollowed out. What is happening in Gaza, she says, surpasses any acceptable legal, moral and humane standard” www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

The shit you never learn because it's not deemed important.

Waterworks activated.

Thank you for sharing this story, definitely worth a read and relevant to today's political situation.

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

Wow. Okay, Joni, let’s try it again. But this time, make it worse. Okay? And… ACTION!
