Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something... My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

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.

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Opal Lee is an American activist who helped make Juneteenth a federally recognized holiday. She is often described as the "grandmother of Juneteenth.” On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden signed Senate Bill S. 475, making Juneteenth the eleventh federal holiday.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

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.

🚨“We’re living in a moment of unprecedented tension—tension he catalyzed.” And instead of calming the crisis, Trump throws a parade for himself. You don’t bring a country together by rolling tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Medgar W. Evers (1925-1963), was a civil rights activist and a United States Army veteran who served in World War II on the beaches of Normandy. His family fights efforts by Trump to strip his name from a Navy vessel in an attempt to erase his legacy as well as our history.

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

There's this horrible scene, and so far, two journalists - a British man, and an Australian woman, have been hit by "less lethal" rounds. Masked people smashing car windows and dragging people out of cars and putting them in unmarked vehicles - people don't want to live like this.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

WTF!!! Why is a military style Blackhawk helicopter landing in the middle of a neighborhood in Southern California unloading weaponry to an unmarked DHS facility?? Multiple raids and arrests.This is nothing but an escalation of a feud between the Orange 🤡 and the Governor of Ca #USDemocracy

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
