Oh, look. A proper reflecting pond.

"Barack, you gotta look at me." At the grand opening ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center, former First Lady Michelle Obama delivered a speech that brought the former president to tears. This is love. Love of husband, love of a president, love of a country.

This tree in London looks full of leaves but is actually covered in parakeets.

“I don’t know why the President of the US behaves like this toward his allies. It’s not the first time. It is disappointing that he does not show the same determination with the enemies of the West and the US, whose leaders he instead treats with far greater indulgence.” - Italy PM Giorgia Meloni

Italy's prime minister cheered across world as she delivers 'thrashing' to Trump #RawStory

A happy Juneteenth to those who celebrate. (And a frosty side-eye to those who don't.)

Precious

Happiest of Juneteenths to all those who celebrate (like me).

Hydrogen peroxide can act as a paint remover and powerful oxidizer. It breaks down the chemical structure of many paints, causing them to peel, bubble, or dissolve. Science is not Trump's friend. Neither am I.

Sweet moments yesterday! Morning Martini!

FOR FUCKS SAKE. PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DECREPIT, CHRONIC GASLIGHTING, SENILE CIRCUS CLOWN.

This picture of Donald Trump trying to kiss Emmanuel Macron’s wife is going viral. Donald Trump would hate this photo to be shared.

Celebrate Juneteenth! ...except the GOP/trumpanzees! Get your fat racist asses to work!

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

The Supreme Court didn’t side with a drug user. It sided with promoting further unfettered access to guns. The decision wasn’t about personal liberty—it was about enabling our nation’s insane firearms fetish.

This speech by former First Lady Michelle Obama is going to send that orange headed PAB buffoon of the tracks, all the way off the fucking rails. I'm here for it, too. This is one of the best speeches I've heard all year.

Michelle Obama: "That's where the truth of this country lies. Not in grabbing as much as we can get for ourselves. Or knocking folks down to prop ourselves up. But in the overwhelming goodness, the relentless striving, the quiet dignity, that is inside all of us."

Michelle Obama: The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism, the outrage when you stated the biological fact that if you'd had a son that he too would be black, yet you were unflappable at every turn, always focused.

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.

Michelle Obama: "No one has the right to sit in judgment of who is American enough. And that's why, folks, we simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent."

Iran got sanctions removed, will continue missile program, their nuclear program stays intact, they’ll get $300B and confirmed they’ll continue to toll Strait of Hormuz. US lost hundreds of billions, has record high gas prices, Americans are dead, NO gains. Art of the fraud.

I love this. The Obamas honoring Nancy Pelosi with a garden in her name is so well deserved. Without Nancy Pelosi, there would be no Affordable Care Act.

An hour late. Declaring himself “the boss.” Standing awkwardly alone while world leaders huddled and laughed. Trump’s trip to the G7 wasn’t a display of strength—it was the global equivalent of a diplomatic trainwreck. America's reputation deserves so much better #SheShed #ForeignPolicy

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

She made a home for Michelle and Craig here on the South Side of Chicago, not with a lot, but with a lot of love and hope and perspective and wisdom.

And her husband Fraser Robinson, who got up every day and went down right next to Navy Pier, working in the water reclamation district. He showed what it means to work hard and to put family first.

They represent to me what’s best about this country, and what’s best about our values and people who aren’t trying to get every last nickel, and aren’t cutting corners when it comes to values, and treat people high and low with respect and kindness.

There are people like that all across the South Side of Chicago, and there are people like that all across this great country of ours.

MAGA hypocrisy at its finest. Core values…

Damn Colbert is a treasure. He very knowingly and intentionally played Linus and Lucy on the air, and the copyright holder joyfully got a fine out of CBS for it and then donated it to World Central kitchen. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

CBS forced to pay for Stephen Colbert’s final prank on The Late Show

Isn't subliminal messaging illegal?

💚 President Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social You are still bringing hope and change. When your Presidential Center opens on Juneteenth in Chicago — YOU will have Stevie Wonder. Springsteen. Jennifer Hudson. John Legend. Bono. 😉 You and Michelle will also have all of us. Thank you! #Pinks

I'll just leave this here...
