Timothy Zick of @WMLawSchool explains why the president’s “if you don’t like it, you can leave” response to public dissent is deeply anti-American. https://t.co/KC3CtlYLZF

everyone should celebrate juneteenth and commemorate the single most revolutionary event in american history, the destruction of chattel slavery and the liberation of millions of people from an evil system of extraction and expropriation https://t.co/n2aafGGoj6

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

On Juneteenth, we celebrate our capacity to make real the promise of our founding, that thing inside each of us that says America is not yet finished, that compels all of us to fight for justice and equality until this country we love more closely aligns with our highest ideals.

Outside the Oval Office, I kept a painting of a small crowd huddled around a pocketwatch, waiting for the moment the Emancipation Proclamation took effect. On Juneteenth, we celebrate the anniversary of that news - freedom - reaching slaves in Texas. And something more:

"Barr’s job was to end the investigation, block Trump’s prosecution, and help Trump attack the investigators. And that’s exactly what he’s doing." https://t.co/ZlzugZOwXJ

One reason it may seem many young women are just now waking up to our dire situation/ lack of rights is we were never integrated into previous "waves" of feminism & are discouraged by more experienced feminists from participating in the struggle for our own liberation.

There is a campaign by right-wing politicians and corporate interests to install extremist judges at all levels of our judiciary. #ProtectOurCourts

Listen: Prof. Tim Zick discusses "Practical Equality: Forging Justice in a Divided Nation," with its author, Prof. @robertltsai @AUWCL https://t.co/n11jLej2xQ

[Tim O'Brien @TimOBrien]

It can't be emphasized enough that Bill Barr, not Bob Mueller, decided that President Trump couldn't be charged with obstruction of justice. (And Mueller never interviewed Trump, so how could he or Barr confidently assess Trump's intent to obstruct?)

Here’s what we know without a doubt: A hostile foreign government systematically interfered in our electoral process to benefit one candidate, and that candidate is now president of the United States. https://t.co/1EMIH97F9f
