Bottom line: running a government of the people the same way you’d run a family owned business doesn’t work.

Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park. It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone. Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.

This is one of America's saddest days, but it pales in comparison to the days that are coming for so many here.

For every idiot like Ted Cruz, Bill Ackerman and Josh Hawley you find at Harvard, there are people like Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, a 1st generation American who finished with a 5.0 at MIT and got her doctoral degree in theoretical physics at Harvard. Many people call her the next Einstein.

So do I.

Claire McCardell changed fashion forever, Julia Turner writes. The designer advocated for pockets, denim, and ballet flats—revolutionizing clothing for women:

Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The cabinet is pure garbage chosen only because of their lack of integrity and willingness to kiss the first felon’s ass. They are a dangerous, walking clown show.

Do with this info what you will.... But what you need to stop doing is acting like this kind of stuff happened back in the time dinosaurs. 💅🏾 It wasn't that long ago.

Yep. That tracks...

This is incredible, amazing, fabulous, stupendous news. In my years working with HIV risk reduction, we longed for this day, every day. "Clinical trial data from last year suggest just two injections a year provide near-complete protection against an HIV infection." www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

“There is a vast chasm between the concept of freedom inscribed on paper and the reality of freedom in our lives.” Revisit Jelani Cobb‘s piece, from 2020, on Juneteenth and the meaning of freedom.

Entire Fulbright board quits, citing Trump administration interference

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet.

Cheers to the 19th century librarian at the Philadelphia Mercantile Librarian who put their library stamp over Wheatley's signature in this copy of the 1773 Poems. Possibly to prevent theft of the signature from cutting out the leaf?

In 1885, white rioters murdered dozens of Chinese residents of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The story of the atrocity is still being unearthed 140 years later.
