63 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led the first historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. They understood that equal economic and voting rights were the path to ending racial inequality in America.
Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."
BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.
WATCH — Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social on being detained: “The arrogance in the eyes of those settlers… the arrogance of those IDF soldiers that my tax dollars are funding… the arrogance of power, and no accountability. Total impunity.”

You are not alone if you believe that every American should have access to good affordable health care and the best public schools.
You are actually part of an American majority.
Absolutely vile. The continued use of our tax dollars to terrorize Palestinians and US citizens is inhumane and unacceptable.
Grateful for Ro’s courage to show the world what is happening on the ground and for exposing the continued atrocities happening in the West Bank.
Let us remember this Juneteenth that we still have a long ways to go before we are truly on a level playing field. Keep fighting the good fight. Apathy is never the answer, no matter how fucking tired you are. Rest, revive and resist!
Also let me recommend historian Annette Gordon Reed’s “On Juneteenth” for your summer reading list. I felt vindicated reading that Reed, a Texan, always saw Juneteenth as a Texas celebration. Her dive into the complicated history of Texas, slavery, integration & this holiday is riveting.
There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."
A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.
Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

The Epstein files changed me forever.
I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied.
We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks.
America is a syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.
It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor.
Let’s get it done, Texas!
