Since he's returned to office Trump has attacked the Smithsonian as "out of control" where everything discussed "is how horrible our country is, how bad slavery was." Lonnie Bunch has been the person who has put himself between Trump and the Smithsonian. This is the story of his work to protect it.

🇮🇱🇷🇸 Allianz and the War Business The insurer Allianz covers the suppliers of the F-35 fighter jet that Israel uses in its operations, and has invested more than $1.45 billion in arms companies operating in Gaza. While Palestinian and Lebanese families lose their homes and loved ones under

⭕️ Israeli forces killed 2 Palestinian teens, including a 15-yo boy, & wounded another early Mon. near the illegal Israeli settlement of Karmi Tzur in the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, occupied West Bank. The victims were identified as Reda Sami Hassan Awad, 15, and Issa Arafat Ismail Awad...

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

oh

Keir Starmer the Genocide Guy? Yes very mysterious why he was unpopular

As we see the end of the Starmer years, I am reflecting on my favourite things about him. Personally, it was when he told a newspaper that he didn’t dream or have any internal thoughts

Charlottesville has an independent, volunteer-run, nonprofit tool library, and it’s the best thing ever

And then there is the looming unprecedented biohazard crisis that is the 85 million pounds of soon-to-be rotting meat inside the facility. 75,000 pallets stacked 50 feet high of beef and poultry, it's about to get very, very nasty beyond the burning insulation.

Billionaire Trump backer Jeffery Hildebrand’s Hilcorp runs old, low-producing “stripper wells,” and is one of the country’s largest emitters of methane, a greenhouse gas that can trap 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide. By @alexcuadros.bsky.social

It was 95°F in Arvin CA as these farm workers harvest Chinese vegetable. "Juan" tells us, "This is very hard work especially on days like today when a hot sun beats down on us. But we can't stop. This is how we make the money to pay our rent and feed our family." #WeFeedYou

This is an unfathomably evil act that will be a foul stain on our nation’s history forever. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/w...

A Juneteenth freedom miracle: I ran into a former student whom I’d first met in a prison, where I taught. They are out, have a bachelor’s, a master’s & are finishing a phd. They work educating students in prison & helping with their re-entry when they get out. Met his wife and family. God is good!

These declarations are made out in the open, now with automatic translation. Western politicians and commentators who pretend not to notice these grotesque declarations by *the national security minister of a state which their countries arm and fund* are complicit in them.

Norway announces that it intends to ban all trade with illegal Israeli settlements, which will bring it into line with the International Court of Justice's ruling in July 2024 which says states must not be complicit in Israel's illegal occupation. Spain and the Netherlands have already done so.

Such good news. Human beings are capable of magical and wonderful things. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"...Amin Abu Rashid, a Dutch national of Palestinian origin, was acquitted in the Netherlands... of financing Hamas, after a years-long legal battle landed him in jail for a year. ...evidence had relied on Israeli government reports&unverified newspaper articles." www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/...

🚨New from me: From the U.S. to West Asia to the Global South, the system is built to oppress Black and Brown people, but we keep fighting. I’m heartbroken and furious. 👇🏼🔻 This is America. open.substack.com/pub/liberati...? #kohenwiley

Kyle Rittenhouse killed two people at a protest in Kenosha and walked past police with his rifle in his hands. He went home that night. A one-year-old baby, held up by his mother so police could see him, was murdered by Hunter Foster in a parking lot in Mississippi.

Let me remind you all: Dylann Roof murdered nine Black people in a church in Charleston in 2015. He sat with the congregation for an hour first. He was arrested the next morning, alive, unharmed, and hungry. Officers stopped at Burger King on the way to the station.

A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million. He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz. His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY. Bipartisan capture in full bloom. fortune.com/2026/06/18/t...

It kinda got lost in the madness, but the federal conspiracy case against anti-ICE activists in Minnesota - the Minneapolis 15 - is a big deal It's not just the 1st Amendment abuse. It's part of their plan to crush dissent ahead of a stolen election My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

This is exceptional work.

Israel has killed 47 people and wounded 97 people today in Lebanon. Since March 2nd Israel has killed 3959 people in Lebanon. www.instagram.com/p/DZxZwCmltj...

This is why they are afraid of us —because WE ARE POWERFUL. They have got HILLARY CLINTON DEFENDING DONALD TRUMP ON ISRAEL! That's how depraved they are! Meanwhile, we are winning divestment and driving the moral argument across the globe. bsky.app/profile/benc...

Punishment is not the end of our story. We will get justice in this lifetime. Palestine will be free. The land will be free. The people of the earth will be free, in this lifetime. And the truth-tellers will be free.

Look at this asshole, undoing the only good thing republicans have done in office in my lifetime

A London event has promoted the sale of illegal Israeli settlement land in the occupied West Bank It should be banned. As @andymcdonaldmp.bsky.social says: ".. imagine there was a Russian sponsored event that was marketing land in Ukraine. I'm sure the govt would be very quick to intervene"

Gabriel Elizondo: "For the first time in 30 years.. its now govt forces & not armed groups that are the leading cause of death & injury to children during armed conflict.. with Israel topping the list with their crimes against children in the occupied Palestinian territories"

United Auto Workers today passed a resolution at its convention, 321-287, to divest from Israeli bonds. With nearly 400,000 members, UAW becomes the largest US union to officially divest from Israel. Speakers cited the union’s legacy of divesting from South African apartheid in 1978.

Tell everyone you know. InfoWars, July 2nd, big surprises.

Elon Musk simultaneously has $1 trillion but doesn't have $20 billion.

Here at the Reflecting Pool where a big chunk ofTrump's blue paint-apoxie has peeled off the bottom of the pool and is bobbling in the water.

Now if only we lived in a world where statements like this inspired action amongst our governments.

"Anti govt protests have intensified across Albania as anger grows over controversial development projects. Albanians have been rallying for more than 2 weeks against a multi billion dollar development linked to Donald Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner"

HOLY COW!!!! Thank you @abdulelsayed.bsky.social for coming out to the Kapow office for our meet-and-greet and diaper drive! We collected over 2,630 diapers — both for our office and Michiganders!!!! Next stop: Kalamazoo for our July door-knocking extravaganza with @ourcommonpower.bsky.social!

Hmmmmmm

The morning news won’t tell you this: 6 Articles of Impeachment were just filed against Chief Justice John Roberts for gross financial conflicts. No one is above the law. Take 60 seconds while you have your coffee to demand your reps hold him accountable. Act here: 👇

US-Iran MOU is a mere Agreement to Keep Talking

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence. In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

Happy crappy birthday

…Before I got anywhere near this mob I entered DC at Farragut Square, where some hard-core chicks had set up a lovely instructional installation…I hadn’t imagined there were so many sung verses about our stinky-ass, tiny-penised, traitor and pedophile of a “president”….\3
