Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Different people experience different kinds of trauma. The decision to shut down this particular suicide hotline isn’t just cruel and unnecessary — it will literally kill people. Another despicable move from an administration who pampers billionaires at the expense of everyone else.

Another fantastic thing for white folks to do on Juneteenth is learn about the Black Panthers. I've mentioned The Black Power Mixtape, and here Monica is offering another Panthers PBS documentary. (Which I haven't seen, but will probably watch tomorrow. My "Juneteenth" day off is tomorrow.)

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

CBP under Trump: "I encountered a young woman, in tears, begging the guard for information. He told her he had no information to give her and that none would be forthcoming. 'That woman,' he said, pointing to a bundle of blankets in the corner, 'has been here for four days.'"

It's Juneteenth. Major corporations have stopped pretending to give a shit about Black folks celebrating this holiday. Support a Black person in need today. We're all we got, us humans. Much love, y'all.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.
