Happy Birthday, America! 🇺🇸 Today we celebrate all that we know America can be! We've seen it at it's best and worst but we still love our country 💙 This Administration tries to paint us as unpatriotic, but what is more patriotic than fighting for the future of your country?

Happy Juneteenth! Today we celebrate the abolition of slaves during a much too dark part of history in our country. We honor Juneteenth by remembering all of the work that still needs to be done for America to truly mean liberty and justice for all! 🇺🇸 🗽 What does Juneteenth mean to you?

Everything costs too much and French Hill is to blame. He won’t use his power to stop the war which is driving up gas prices. He voted over and over to make your life more expensive. Once again, everything costs too much and French Hill is to blame. It’s time for change #ChrisJonesforCongress

The Iran War has cost the U.S. $25 billion so far. Our taxes shouldn't pay for murdering school children, decimating towns, displacing millions of civilians, and fueling generational devastation. Our tax dollars should invest in the needs of working people, not war.

WaPo reports Louisiana’s governor will announce on Friday that he is suspending the House primaries where people have already started voting and redraw the map; I’d expect them to go for an all-Republican map and eliminate both majority-Black districts, not just one.

A message from YDAR President Billy Cook on the announcement that Democratic Party of Arkansas Chair Grant Tennille will step down after four years of dedicated service.

“To form a more perfect Union...” What is more patriotic than believing your country can be better than it was—than it is?

LRSD personnel learned that the district did not receive the federal grants that were supposed to be disbursed today. They are putting a hold on training and professional development, and reviewing the contracts of those funded by these federal grants. This is part of a national crisis. 🧵

The Young Democrats of Arkansas condemn the President’s decision to bomb Iran. This act of aggression marks an escalation that puts countless lives at risk both abroad and at home, including Arkansans in military service.

We’re thrilled to announce our delegation to the 2025 @youngdems.bsky.social National Convention in July! #YDAPhilly We’re asking for YOUR support to make this opportunity possible for our delegates: ydarkansas.com/YDARTakesPhilly

On June 19, 1865—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation declared that all enslaved people “are, and henceforward shall be free”—Union troops arrived in Galveston with the news of freedom for enslaved Black people. That day came to be known as Juneteenth. 🧵
