Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett has two Black children, Vivian and John Peter, whom she and her husband Jesse adopted from Haiti. Today, she ruled with the conservative supermajority to allow President Trump to end protected status for Haitians living in the U.S. legally.

June 19, 1865, Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3 ordering the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.” #Juneteenth

Dozens of fishermen have lost fingers (and worse) to wolffish… even after the fish was dead and decapitated.

The head can still bite down hard for a long time thanks to powerful jaws and lingering neuromuscular reflexes.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were caught on video telling a U.S. born citizen that his driver’s license was not proof of citizenship because “anyone can get that.”

In the video, the man repeatedly told them he was born in the U.S…. In Atlantic City.

He showed them his license.

They dismissed it.

He showed them ANOTHER form of ID.

They STILL kept interrogating him about where he lived, who he lived with, whether Venezuelans lived in his home, who had been in his car, and whether the vehicle was registered to him.

All while illegally detaining him in his car.

And in the end…

The agents admitted they weren’t even looking for the person connected to the car’s registration.

So, why was this U.S. citizen stopped, surrounded, and interrogated in the first place?

The Fourth Amendment does not disappear because agents “suspect” someone might be undocumented.

You do not have to repeatedly prove your citizenship to federal agents because they decided you “look foreign enough” to question.

Yet, this keeps happening to U.S. citizens across the country.

Since Virginia won't let voters decide, Governor @SpanbergerForVA should follow the lead of Texas, Florida, and Tennessee and just impose the new map on the state.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)
No vote in Florida (+4 GOP)
No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP)
No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP)
No vote in Texas (+5 GOP)

Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.

MAGA has rigged the system.

18-year-old U.S. citizen dying from cancer begs to see parents one last time—ICE is keeping them detained.

Parents were denied humanitarian visa—so forced to cross border illegally.

Son is in hospice care—only wish is to hug mom and dad before he dies.

Willing to self-deport and sign any paperwork voluntarily just to be released from the detention center before it's too late.

"It’s very difficult because the processes are very slow," said their lawyer.

Meanwhile, Kevin faces the possibility of dying in just a matter of days far away from his parents.

"Please help me fulfill my last wish."
