I had a medical procedure today. (I'm doing great and I am stoked I had it done.) That said I'm a annoyed that I had a citizenship question while checking in for surgery. It said it has been a Texas law since 2024.

I called Rep. Self's office. I almost feel bad for the poor girl who is answering the phone. Almost.
After GOP holdouts flipped their votes, the big ugly bill cleared a major hurdle in the House. As final debate began, Hakeem Jeffries took the floor just after 6 a.m. on Thursday — and promised to make his time count.

When white supremacists in Charlottesville chanted “Jews shall not replace us,” the president defended them as “very fine people.”

When a man attacked Congress in a “Camp Auschwitz” shirt, the president pardoned him.

So you understand why I’m less concerned about what a mayoral nominee didn’t say.

Happy Juneteenth!

Today we celebrate freedom hard won and honor the strength, resilience, and courage of those who fought for it. Let’s use this day to learn, reflect, and take action for true justice.

Freedom is a journey. Let’s keep moving forward together.

160 years ago, on the 19th of June 1865, Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at 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)

DA confirms they will go to the grand jury to seek first degree murder charges after they have time to review evidence. Under Minn. Law, 2nd degree was the highest charge they could bring by complaint (w/o GJ) & they needed charges to get the arrest warrant they used Sunday night.
Seeing lots of people expressing concern over the second-degree murder charge in Minnesota. This is the highest available charge- the Minnesota statute is unusual and there is nothing odd at play here.

The attendants of Trump’s parade were mostly men because he can’t make women come.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Sound familiar?

This pisses me off so fucking much. It's people like this man that helped my husband's unit when he deployed. We owe him and so many more.

I want to say this is not us. BUT this is who we are now.
WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.”

ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal.

Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving:

Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.

If you’re more upset at protests than masked federal agents abducting and deporting people without due process, and the President violating the Constitution to deploy the military on US soil against Americans, and justifying it with lies, you need to reevaluate your priorities.

Trump supporters who refused to call Trump a convicted felon after the verdict but before sentencing are fine with calling Abrego Garcia a criminal and he’s never even been to trial.

Currently in contempt of SCOTUS.
Weaponizing FBI against judges.
Purposefully sending us into a recession.
Sending people to concentration camps in a foreign country.
Tearing down government agencies to ensure a lasting chaos.
Alienating our allies and making our enemies chuckle with glee.
