This is absolutely nonsense. The Postmaster General said during a Senate hearing today that if a proposed federal mail ballot rule takes effect, the Postal Service would refuse to deliver mail ballots in states that do not turn over sensitive voter data to the federal government.

I think the reason the Reflecting Pool is getting so much reaction is because it's a tangible metaphor for all the failures of this regime. It's a physical manifestation of toxicity, vanity, cost, error, and assigning blame.

The more you know... the more you should be angry as fu@k about this situation. IJS.

Summer has been a whirlwind so far & I’ve been so busy (happily so) celebrating friends & family I’ve neglected myself a bit. Hubs isn’t much into the whole Fathers Day celebrating, so I put the kids in charge. I’ll be focusing on my summer solstice celebration 💚☀️

I received an unusually large number of messages telling me to work less and take care of myself. I took this as a sign to take the weekend off. If you appreciate Democracy Docket and want to help it grow, sign up today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Just watched a propaganda ad for our military, paid for by the department of war. There was no purpose other than to say how great our military is and we’ll find peace through war 🙄 It played like an intro to filmmaking students first attempt at an action movie trailer 🤣 #BarneyStinsonResume

I curated a (mostly) exhaustive list of Juneteenth celebrations across the country. Chances are there’s one near you!

What is Juneteenth for nonblack people? It’s a time for them to either fully center Black people or ignore everything & keep their mouths shut.

To know Barack and Michelle is to understand: They have always believed that leadership is about leaving something behind that empowers others.

On this Juneteenth, we hope you will take some time to acknowledge the incredible contributions of Black Americans, all of the progress that we’ve made, and also how far we still have to go to achieve justice in our country.

Everybody! What's a great way you can celebrate Juneteenth? How about with some contemporary Black southern gothic literature? Written by none other than yours truly. Grab my book. It's on backorder here at my local Black bookshop Sankofa but you can still support!

True, but it’s also ok to DNF the bad ones. Give them a decent chance, but if it’s terrible, put it down and move to the next one

"Rosie No. 1" created in 2016 by Brooklyn-based artist Tim Okamura.

I just really need the younger generations to understand that peaches come from a can and that they were put there by a man.

Great job opportunity.

My kid brought home a copy last night and asked if I’d read it before. I told her, “Baby girl, what’s in those pages is the reason I got into the field. We need representation and protection.”

Today I am moved by power of this example of how Black people hold our own history. Without museums. W/o official declarations or monuments. In community. Happy Juneteenth!

I used to think Bond villains were a ridiculous conceit... theconversation.com/a-million-ne...

Billionaires did not make their money single handedly. They made their money because of the hard work their employees do on a daily basis. Their employees ideas, skills, & more. This is why it is imperative they pay taxes on their income. To help fund the public services their employees need.

TV ad “new Panera salad stuffers, they’re amazing and brilliant and I’ve never seen anything like it!!” Me: calm down tv actor, it’s a sandwich

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

As a reward for my full day of non-stop adulting I have received my very own migraine! Seems fitting 😒

BREAKING: We filed a lawsuit to demand that ICE, CBP, UCSIS, and DHS release records about targeting people who film federal agents in public. The First Amendment protects our right to record law enforcement activity.

No cameras. No recording. Just a written transcript—but you can read it and budget for yourselves. One thing is clear—the cover up continues. oversight.house.gov/wp-content/u... (3/3)

What we confuse about CBS is we think about ratings and think they care about how many people are seeing it. They don’t think about ratings or profits. They think about how many people they can prevent from seeing the truth. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just when I thought I had the extremely busy summer figured out… my youngest teen tells me this year might be the year she tries out for dance competition. 🥴

Today SCOTUS allowing Alabama to press ahead with the use of a map that erases a majority Black congressional district makes clear clear that this Court has unashamedly set its course to dismantle the 14th Amendment brick-by-brick. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Trump packed labor agencies with corporate insiders to kill unions, but Massachusetts just blew the doors off the scheme. 70,000 Uber and Lyft drivers just successfully unionized—the biggest private worker union win since 1941. Read the historic update: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/judge-kill...

White nationalism is on the rise in this country, and it is being openly peddled by politicians who are now considered mainstream

Yeah, I’m a single-issue voter. Here’s my single issue: I won’t vote for any politician who believes I’m not a woman. Oh, does that seem simplistic to you, even childish and petty? Here, let me explain.
