What better way to observe the end of slavery than a rich old white man yelling to work harder.

I will take AI seriously when my smart speaker understands the phrase “original broadway cast recording.”

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

It would be naive of anyone in the government to think that attacking Iran is just attacking iran.

Another bit of research- Nottaway Plantation, (Louisiana) the planter and his son moved 20% of enslaved persons to Texas clearly to avoid repossession (as they saw it).

For research of a novel I was reading a diary of a widow SE Georgia plantation owner. Her "boys" (black men of fighting age) were "stolen" from her plantation. "Boys" never returned. "A Woman's Wartime Journal" Dolly Sumner Lunt docsouth.unc.edu/fpn/burge/lu...

Juneteenth is a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go. Today, we’re once more committing ourselves to the work of ending systemic oppression of Black people in America. We’re not free until everyone is free.

I’ll say it over and over again, I’ll NEVER regret voting for Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, I remain proud AF with a clear conscience.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

This is absolutely vile. This kid just wants to go to school & play baseball. He’s a top talent. Yet, the school rejected him explicitly because his parents are gay. This kind of hatred is now escalating under our bigoted federal administration. Trump is giving permission for this poison.

And we're being called criminals and animals

My reply to this Tweet got a ton of MAGA responses: x.com/cliftonadunc... And I had a fun time writing back to each one of them. Some corrected my grammar (pro tip: misspell something to get them to reply). The rest needed a Civics lesson.

PBS and Fox aired this. Pay attention to the soldier walking in the background so you know it is the same footage. Now tell me what you hear different….

Good move Senator

SF parade, chill and relaxed. I love California.

The Hortman family helped raise and train dogs to partner with veterans. One of the many reasons we will miss Melissa and Mark.

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

Everyone in Governor Newsom’s Press Office deserves a huge raise

Kinda makes me happy that it must have been hard for Rubio to cover up that yawn. Cringe for all the soldiers.

That amount of people - about 1/2, yes, 1/2 of my family congregating before dinner. So huh, when do we call it for what it is- a dictatorship.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

LMFAO 😂 it’s zero people for the 🤡 clown show.

I don’t really have words to explain how it feels to see Kristi Noem standing on a street in East LA that looks like the street I grew up on in East LA with an invading military force trying to kidnap people who look like the neighbors I grew up with. It stays with you, spiritually.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

The suggestion that Kristi Noem, a white woman, is the "delicate, beautiful, tiny" victim after a Latino man is physically dragged out of a room fits into the admin's pretext of criminality it attaches to people who are not white. Like Rep. LaMonica McIver.

"Gate drafted the Coercive Acts, a series of laws intended to punish colonists for deeds of defiance against the King, such as the Boston Tea Party." (1776) Not so different now.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

What do the Congresswoman who’s being prosecuted, the US Senator who was tackled & handcuffed & the judge who’s being prosecuted all have in common? They were targeted by federal thugs building a police state to target not just immigrants but anyone who questions their fascism.

We are in a whole new world of authoritarianism and someone has to stand up against fascism. #SipWithSam

A woman is hospitalized and receives staples in her head after LAPD trampled her with their horses. LAPD also impeded her receiving medical attention.
