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.

Our Constitution is clear: Only Congress has the power to declare war. Yet, administrations too often bypass this fundamental check, plunging us into conflicts that cost countless lives, drain our resources, and destabilize entire regions. We cannot allow this to happen again.

This makes me so fucking mad. He acts as if “we” did this. They did it with their fucking tax cuts and corporate handouts and immoral wars supported by both parties. Fuck Ron Johnson.

Ron Johnson: "What us old people have done, basically indebting our children, stealing from their future, their prospects, the way we've diminished them, is immoral. It's unconscionable. We have to face that and we have to do something about it."

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

There is no such thing as “unskilled” labor.

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

The Founders were all against the idea of a standing army. They saw how an autocratic ruler, George III, used his military to intimidate American citizens. That's precisely what they did not want, and that's precisely what this president is doing in sending Marines to LA.

Me normally: the traffic here sucks I can’t afford anything bigger than a closet to live in and every public official is more crooked than a bag of snakes Me after a chud calls this place a hellhole or claims In-N-Out is mid: I WILL DIE FOR MY COUNTRY OF LOS ANGELES

I think it’s very dangerous to call the regime’s actions here in my hometown a distraction. It’s reductionist. The government firing on peaceful protests is very much a problem in its own right and a step towards military occupation. That is not a distraction.

Are Trump's actions in LA a distraction? @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "A hundred percent. It's all about news cycles. Whatever he can to distract. I mean, disastrous economic policies... Even his his biggest sycophant in the country, Elon Musk, said likely a recession in the second half of the year."
