A mess

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Maya Wiley says one of the most overlooked facts in the voting rights debate is that courts found Alabama intentionally discriminated against Black voters when drawing congressional districts.

Her criticism: despite those findings, the maps ultimately remained in place.

That's why she argues this isn't a history lesson.

It's a present-day fight.

wow -- Newsmax hosts are not mincing words about the fact that Trump lost his war against Iran

Today is #Juneteenth, a day to honor history and reflect on the meaning of freedom.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

Those attacking our voting rights are afraid of the power we hold and how we’ve poured into this nation’s story. This #Juneteenth, we celebrate and honor the fight of those who came before us. Our mission in this moment is unmistakable: push on until our full freedom is finally realized.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

The story and celebration of Juneteenth started in Galveston, but its impact is felt far beyond Texas.

Generations of Americans refused to accept that freedom should belong to some and not others. They understood that freedom is something to cherish, and that each generation must continue the fight for justice and equality.

Today, we celebrate all of the joy of Juneteenth. And we recommit ourselves to ensuring the promise of America belongs to all of us.

MORE: The Reflecting Pool has more algae in it than at any recorded point in the month of June for at least five years, according to a specialized analysis of satellite data. https://t.co/PMQ2QFk9pU

June 19—“Juneteenth,” also called Emancipation Day—commemorates the day in 1865 that the Emancipation Proclamation was read to enslaved African Americans in Texas:

For those of you who don't speak Italian, she took him to school.

The reflecting pool is actually promo for the new upcoming HBO Max series Lanterns airing this August!

I guess the pivot now is to blame our allies for a war we started and lost

A word from Opal Lee, ‘Grandmother of Juneteenth,’ who led the way to make the day a federally recognized holiday.

The paint is already peeling in Trump's Reflecting Pool that cost $14 million to renovate.

How is it possible that this document has been read by tens of millions of people all over the world on the internet but a senior senator on the Intel Committee hasn’t?

[Alcorn State @AlcornStateU]

Alcorn State University honors the courage and resilience of those who paved the way towards equality. As we celebrate the progress made, we remain committed to honoring the past, celebrating the present, and inspiring the future.

Happy Juneteenth! #AlwaysAlcorn #Juneteenth

Brutal note

[Keisha For Georgia @KeishaForGA]

.@KeishaBottoms: “GA, we will not remain silent as elected leaders in our state refuse to expand Medicaid and force our hospitals and even some ICU units and birthing units to close.”

[Brian Entin @BrianEntin]

Neighbors have put mattresses and plexiglass up in their windows to block the noise from this data center in Virginia.
It's a high pitched whine from the natural gas turbines that power it.
The noise never stops 24/7.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Ken Paxton let a pedophile back on our streets.

Adam Hoffman—an admitted child molester—should have gotten life in prison, but Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal.

Today I’m calling on Paxton to release the Hoffman Files.

The Epstein Class has no place in Texas.

It’s always a good day when I get to be in #Chicago. Today was an extraordinary day in this city. What an honor to be in the presence of so many greats and to be part of a historic day. Thanks to The Obama Presidential Center for the invitation.
