Should we sign him up for Prime and have him watch a few movies? I mean, we’ve seen the answers to this. 🤦‍♀️

Juneteenth marks the last slaves in Texas receiving word of their emancipation, marking the end of slavery in this country. It’s a reminder that freedom has not always existed for all in America, and that it has taken hard fights, fueled by a drive for justice, to expand freedom.

We are having Mac and cheese today as part of our Juneteenth celebration. The “baked version was introduced to America by James Hemings, an enslaved chef trained in France who cooked for Thomas Jefferson” Always celebrate what our enslaved ancestors brought to the culture of America.

No lies detected.

As many suspected, taxpayers will end up footing part of the bill for the new White House ballroom after all. According to a new report from The Washington Post, the estimated cost of the project has now climbed to $600 million, with roughly half expected to come from taxpayer dollars.

Yes. Please reflect on your actions and do better.

FFS. Is there anything they won’t touch?

The people making our food, teaching our kids, and keeping our communities running deserve pay they can actually live off. What's complicated about that?

1999: Rick Brunson and the Knicks reach the NBA Finals 2026: Jalen Brunson and the Knicks win the NBA Finals 27 years later… the son gets it done, with his father by his side.

Congrats to the #Knicks and to #NewYorkCity 🏀🥇🎉 Also, this is my dream ticket for 2028

Ok. Not a Knicks fan but this is cool 🫶🏾❤️ #Respect

I know there is a lot to talk about, but has anyone looked at the school closings happening across the US? It’s high.

New Costume, Same Klan: How Dems Must Fight Back Against MAGA Jim Crow and the Broligarchy Republicans are suppressing Black voters and hoping to install permanent rule for Trump and his white billionaire allies. We need bold fighters to step up. thelefthook.substack.com/p/new-costum...

The choir I'm a part of sang this fantastic Woodie Guthrie song in a church service last year....but Bette and Barbara's version is even better!

If your commander-in-chief is being excluded from military operations (coz he’s a lunatic) and blocked from accessing the nuclear codes (coz he’s a lunatic), you’re overdue for a new commander-in-chief.

"This is an important thing to think about."

Is this really an investigation?

AOC represents EVERY WOMAN in America right now who is sick and tired of misogyny & misinformation. She represents us and the rage we feel.

I hadn’t thought of this. But true.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

I will no longer believe in the stories of America's wars. The strategic disconnect lasted throughout the entire ordeal and they removed satellite imagery of the area. As soon as the Georgia election was done they reached a ceasefire. Never again.

Bring all government functionality to a halt.

Chief Justice Roberts describes the government's extrapolation of the exceptions to rule as "quirky." AG Sauer incorrectly describes Coke as speaking on behalf of all judges in Calvin's Case and then describes it as "British common law." No.

We The People need to repeatedly declare this government ILLEGITIMATE on these grounds: 1. It violates the Constitution and Our Inalienable rights daily, and 2. We do not consent and all governments derive their just powers from consent of the governed.
