Happy Juneteenth everyone! (For my fellow melanin-deficient USians, if you have to ask if you're invited to the cookout, you are not, in fact, invited to the cookout)

checking the replies:

Happy Juneteenth! Today we honor the end of slavery in the U.S. — a pivotal moment in both Texas and American history. How are y’all commemorating? I often give lectures on this historic moment, so I decided to share some key points on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DLFd2alxLH...

"The bill directs what is likely the largest single sale of national public lands in modern history..." www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

this is a sith lightsaber, from the war. I keep it on a shelf right next to my stormtrooper armor and imperial officer’s uniform. I’ve even got a verified chunk of the death star from yavin. I’m just a collector. I just think the history is interesting. no, I don’t have any rebel stuff

Why are all the Murderbot Diaries books so tiny

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.

🎵 it's when you're down that you gotta get up Don't let 'em walk all over your face Stand up for yourself & make everything right again Even if some guy's tryna blackmail you, & your girlfriend thinks you suck It's up to you to let them know that it was just all part of some rich guy's evil plannn 🎵

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Make your father proud by knowing it’s 'Father's Day,' with an apostrophe.

Kinda funny to think about that dude yesterday that thought this was all a conspiracy to defang the left when what actually happened is the cops opened fire on a bunch of libs who were just standing there and now my retired boomer parents are yelling fuck the police like they’re at an NWA show.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

NOW: Hundreds have taken the streets of Austin in an impromptu march following the conclusion of the #NoKings rally at the Capitol. Starting separate thread to track the march here.

Captain America teaming up with the X-Men like

#NoKings in Texass

I am formerly rejecting "If you wrote this in a novel it'd be too on-the-nose". Going forward my characters will perform unambiguous symbology, read lines devoid of subtly, whilst a big flashing sign over the stage reads THIS IS ALL REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW YOU FUCKS.

Nothing quite like hearing 5000 people sing the end of "Killing In The Name" in unison

Who is the fuckin genius who decided Austin's No Kings protest should start at the hottest part of the day

The US is so embedded with racism that even the ice cream truck song is racist

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff “Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

Just like they "found fentanyl" on the random guy they pulled over for DWB

Boy, Pam Bondi is real fucking quiet about political assassinations after being real quick to make statements about burning Teslas.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

If this is the last joke I ever skeet because I get steamrolled by Brownshirt Babies at the protest today, at least it was a "pretty good" on the Parnell Dad-Joke Scale

PSA for everyone going to protests

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

What an image (credit Kevin Clark / The Seattle Times)

Gonna start Nona the Ninth as soon as I get outta this brain fog

But really, if you think about it Aren't all sausages kinda pole-ish?
