Celebrate Juneteenth with a visit to the National Constitution Center. This cloth with the Emancipation Proclamation printed on it was likely carried by a soldier in the U.S. Colored Troops. See it on display in our exhibit, #CivilWarAndReconstruction.

my main takeaway after spending the afternoon at the national history day competition is that the kids are pretty alright. also, that reactionaries are right to fear the consequences of kids learning the truth.

The Trump administration has not complied with a federal court order directing it to continue funding legal representation for unaccompanied immigrant children, attorneys in the case allege.
Trump admin hasn’t funded legal help for unaccompanied immigrant children despite judge’s order
Attorneys say the funding cutoff has caused chaos, with kids as young as 5 facing judges alone in immigration courts. Some are victims of sexual abuse and trafficking.

For the Trump administration, there is no upside to returning Abrego Garcia. It’s all downside. They are going to stall, quibble, argue, and whatever else until a court orders them to do it, and then they are going to make explicit what they’ve been doing all along, which is say no.

Jackie Robinson was a radical – don’t listen to the sanitized version of history
Years before Colin Kaepernick was born, Robinson wrote, ‘I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a Black man in a white world.’

The University of Pittsburgh suspended its chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine in apparent retaliation for the group's criticism of the university. That's a violation of the First Amendment. So we're suing.
