Bravo, TNY.

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

One of the most heartening things I’ve seen in a very long time.

In Australia, the captain of this soccer team went into the stands after his team won the championship to get their waterboy, who has Down's Syndrome, so they could celebrate together. 🍻

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

If you like what you've seen from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic lawmakers this week, call and email their offices and let them know that. Evidence of public support gives lawmakers more clout with their colleagues to keep doing what they're doing. Constituent encouragement becomes influence.

More hard facts of elmo’s and trump’s illegal actions. ‘Elon Musk's super PAC removed an X video from a $1M giveaway winner in which she said she received the money, in part, to 'vote.' -Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

It’s good to see the real Dem spark alive again. We all knew it was there…just needed a bit of ignition. Thank you, Senator…and several of your colleagues.

Look, I don’t know exactly who should replace Mr. Schumer as Minority Leader, but I wouldn’t be unhappy with Cory Booker, that’s for sure.

No one is hating her because she’s a conservative or a woman. Everyone is hating her because she’s a lying, disgraceful imbecile. ‘Opinion | I'm tired of being mocked and hated because I'm a conservative woman | Opinion - USA TODAY’ —Karoline Leavitt, trump white house.

‘Hegseth bashed Goldberg as a "deceitful and highly discredited so-called 'journalist' who's made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again."’ -Mike Allen, Axios Has anyone ever read a more accurate, candid description of Hegseth than his own quote? Must know what he’s talking about.

What Trump Can’t Do: #1. He can’t take away our anger. #5. He can’t make us hate a free and democratic America. #8. He can’t stop us from realizing our collective power. #9. He cannot last. www.americaamerica.news/p/what-trump...

americaamerica.newsWhat Trump Can’t DoNine facts that show we are still Americans. We will not give in to Trump's dictatorial regime. We are still human. We will decide our own fate.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Bluesky says it is now sending referral traffic through its "go" subdomain to make it easier for publishers to track the traffic coming from the social network (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch) Main Link | Mediagazer Permalink

And whites and others…people who care about our fellow Americans. We won’t buy into the companies fears, hate and greed. “As retailers like Target and Amazon announce plans to scale back or cut DEI programs in their businesses, Black customers are rethinking where they spend their …” —NBC News

As former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney so eloquently said, “To my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a time when Donald Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain.” #ResistTrump
