1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I’m really enjoying listening to EJ on this radio broadcast. He is really doing so well. Like he’s been doing it for years – calling out the color at perfect times and educating about the game, too.

What the Trump regime doesn’t want you to know about Dallas ICE shooting
The Trump regime's refusal to say the names of the Dallas ICE victims exposes the inhumanity of American fascism.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

Honest question:
For anyone out there who’s still registered as a republican for whatever reason, what would it take to make you finally leave your party when they are openly promoting fascism and authoritarian measures over democracy?

As Charlie Kirk is quickly canonized by Trump and his movement, a full depiction of his impact on American politics is largely being sidestepped.
Kirk built his movement with falsehoods, and his advocacy was laced with racist and bigoted statements.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way
His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

I hope they use the same restorer who worked on the Ecce Homo fresco.
🧵One of the things that I find curious is that the order to reinstall the painting stipulates that it first needs to be restored. Why does it need to be restored? It hasn't been damaged. Why not order its return today? I suspect that the administration knows that it would be illegal. Here me out.
