Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

This crisis in Iran is entirely because of Trump's shitty leadership.
They stopped installing centrifuges until Trump ripped up the deal Iran made with President Obama—simply out of spite.
Now he's barreling toward another poorly planned conflict in the Middle East.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

It's a shock. I hadn't realized.
