JUNETEENTH in Harlem.
This is what America is about.
Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep.
It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

One thing keeping Trump’s approval ratings from totally collapsing is that some people aren’t paying attention. Trump relies on low-information voters.
That’s why when people ask what we can do, I always say to educate the people around us. Repost the news. Share content. Spread the word.

One Thing Helping Trump’s Approval Rating: Some People Are Not Paying Attention

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

I totally forgot the wave of panic our media & the T*a P*rty spread about ACA. Had people at those town halls FURIOUS & TERRIFIED about… more accessible health care. For themselves. And their families. But that’s America. Get mad & angry about the things that help keep you alive🙃

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”
The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is booed by protesters as he announces Trump is cutting off funding for high-speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Instead of dealing with all the planes crashing everywhere, the former “Real World” star is abandoning investments in US infrastructure.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.
But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
