A secretive super PAC has created new websites and X accounts with AI images that are targeting progressive lawmakers in the Bay Area. The super PAC is based in San Diego and has almost no public footprint. Great reporting by @jrivanob.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/06/jack...

Geography you can remember:

Did Kevin Warsh just say he’s not lowering interest rates? The new Fed Chair gave his first press conference and despite indicating to President Trump that he would lower interest rates asap… his Fed code is saying something different. #federalreserve #inflation #interestrates

Research has shown that dogs are more intelligent than we think. But not all of them.

Destruc-O-Rama prezident!

161 years ago, on the 19th of June 1865, 250.000 enslaved Black Americans learned they were free after the end of the American Civil War. June 19th, or Juneteenth, has been a federal holiday in the U.S. since 2021. (Picture from 1880's) #otd #history 🗃️

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom. This monumental news came two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation and effectively marked the end of slavery in the United States. #juneteenth

Demented old racist bastard

Every history book about this government will have a subtitle that's some variation of They Should've Just Left That Alone

“Action is a practice of hope,” writes @prisonculture.bsky.social. Her letter to young organizers is a clear-eyed invitation to begin again every day, even in despair.

Here are some people I’ve met in the woods recently.

@kqedforum.bsky.social want to THANK Dr. Kendi — he re-wired my brain with ‘Stamped From The Beginning’ I’m an older, white woman and I’m a committed anti-racist. Keep writing speaking and working. I love you!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump are re-segregating the American military by race and sex Secret Vetting and Blocked Promotions: Inside Hegseth’s War on Diversity www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/u...

HAPPY JUNETEENTH The day that reminds us that white slavers held Black Americans ILLEGALLY in slavery after the emancipation. It is the seed for jim crow, Black codes and the ongoing racism that plagues America today. May white America develop the ability to have an adult conversation about racism.

Got back a cpl days ago from North Carolina, where it could be 91 deg. and raining! Didn't top 75 here today, breezy & overcast. Sure love my coastal California. Too muggy back there!

So...Clear!

as long as he doesn't smoke...

Happy Pride Month and remember not so long ago folks in certain positions dare not come out

Quite an elite club. Wish you all would speak up more when you see our nation being destroyed from within.

Trump struggles to clasp the Medal of Honor to Major Nicholas Dockery -- and then ties it?

Since Trump’s 2017 tax law cut the corporate tax rate, America's biggest corporations have spent $4.8 trillion on stock buybacks. The top 10 corporations who bought back the most stock spent FIVE TIMES more on stock buybacks than they paid in taxes. This blew my mind.

Such a perfect metaphor for present day America...

Yes, foreign money can be funneled into Trump’s Freedom 250. It’s a bribe machine pretending to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with Trump rallies, organized by Event Strategies, the group that organized January 6th for him. youtu.be/Yd8cA_ziZMw?...

This is a good point. The oligarchs, who if anything had it pretty easy under democracy, have thrown us to the fascist wolves. And they had another option. Let's remember that when reconstruction time arrives.

Trump's investment accounts traded between $212 million and $695 million in stocks and other securities over the first three months of the year — an unprecedented sum for a sitting president. The accounts made 2,346 purchases and 1,296 sales just between Jan. 6 and March 30, 2026.

Note that Bonhoeffer's anti-Nazi stance was deeply influenced by the African American churches that he visited in Harlem when he studied at Union Theological Seminary in NYC.

May he be instantly liberated - "We are deeply saddened to announce that Robert A.F. Thurman, prominent American Buddhist scholar, co-founder of Tibet House US, author and translator whose teachings shaped countless lives, died Tuesday morning, June 16, in Woodstock, New York." Om Mani Padme Hum 🙏

Yes, absolutely. The purpose isn't to solve the problem. The purpose is so Trump can take a picture of the pool without algae and then tell everyone it was never there and that any new algae is fake news.

So even assuming this works, the algae will just come back in, what, a matter of days? Are these guys gonna be here permanently now, like the National Guard but for algae?

Less greenhouse gas emissions AND less food waste. My news to me good news for June 16 #EarthOptimism apnews.com/article/sola...

This is a murder

Was just in North Carolina where a med tech scoffed at our California politicians' corruption... Something tells me this information is not reported on Fox News.

Metaphor for America...
