On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Trump loyalist Kristi Noem asked to resign for violating the constitution, the US Congress hasn't taken stronger steps towards policing Trump regime loyalists, due to GOP collaborators, but this is a start.

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

More of this, please!🔥 Kristy Noem was there to lie about immigrants’ right to due process and U.S. citizens’ deportations. Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) @underwood.house.gov shut her down hard: “The federal gov. has NO authority under U.S. laws to deport any American citizen.” #OnYourSide
