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.

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.

In 1991, a young Barack Obama stood on the front lines of justice at Harvard Law’s Strike for Diversity. Before attaining the presidency, he was already using his voice to demand equity. This footage reminds us: Real leadership starts with standing up for what’s right.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

Does anything in this picture say, "federal agents making a lawful arrest?" Perhaps they identified themselves. But when did it go out of fashion for law enforcement to look like law enforcement?

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.
