The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth

This is how it’s supposed to work.

He’s still the man!

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.

crazy that under the precedent set by callais, a lily-white congressional delegation formed by "partisan" gerrymandering in a plurality black state passes constitutional muster, while any majority-minority district is constitutionally suspect

As a follower of Christ, I agree 100%. I stand with my Muslim brothers and sisters against hate.

Naming this shooting a hate crime and insisting that there is an origin point for where these ideologies come from is an important step of solidarity. sojo.net/articles/opi...

You know what Premier League, I give you a lot of (justified) shit but this is wonderful

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

Congratulations to Hungary. And thank you, from the USA.

Anyone hear from the Board of Peace lately?

The Boss playing Purple Rain on tour stop #1 in Minneapolis ❤️❤️❤️❤️ youtu.be/0_STaxhaIJg?...

Straight truth.

Everything goes in cycles in American politics, and when this MAGA cycle ends soon we must not forget the CEOs, law firms, and media elites who bent the knee to Trump and sold out America for money, power, and access.

Is there any precedent in US history for going to war without even an attempt to build support among the American people? He gave a 1.5 hour SOTU speech less than a week before attacking Iran in which he barely mentioned Iran. This is how dictators act, not presidents.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Happy Birthday, #MichaelJordan! He turns 63 today. 🏀🎂

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

ABOLISH ICE.

Maybe the government could purchase excess crops and then give them to countries in need to improve our countries reputation overseas, as well as supporting the market for our farmers? Oh, wait...we used to do that. It was called USAID.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

I don't know all the facts of what happened with the ICE shooting in Minnesota this morning but I do know this: the government is led by liars and gangsters. There is no reason to believe anything that comes out of ICE, DHS, or the White House. There must be an independent investigation.

North London is Red. Like always.

that's why you bring the US flag to protests, folks

How very Lenin like.

Love this video

THIS. IS. THE. WAY.

This needs serious traction.

Great news y’all! Pharma is going to start PAYING us to take their drugs!

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

We feed you. They hunt us.

81 years ago today, the Allies took a huge and courageous step toward ridding the world of fascism. Today, allies are still important, and fascism is far from dead. Let us not forget. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇨🇦 🇦🇺

Happy Pride Month y’all. 🏳️‍🌈🟰

Try to imagine any other president in living memory posting this.

“No person shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” 5th Am. “[N]or shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” 14th Am.

A big thank you to our northern neighbors for choosing sanity.

What a night, what a performance from this far from 100% team, one of the great European nights at the Emirates. Declan Rice has produced two of the greatest free kicks you'll ever see at this level, and we 100% deserved that third goal too. Incredible. This team deserves so much love. #arsenal

He's worse than just a draft-dodger, Trump has genuine disdain for our uniformed soldiers.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

On a positive note: Dukie lost. 😂 Go Coogs!

“It’s a shame about those dead soldiers and the Wall Street crash. Okay, let’s go golfing.”

Never Trumpism was Always Right.
