Thousands of Trump supporters on the National Mall ordered to evacuate from the thunderstorm have sought shelter inside the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion saves lives.

Former Presidents Bush, Clinton, Obama and Biden share their messages for America on the nation's 250th birthday.
President Trump is unsurprisingly missing.

Bush – “One of the things about the 250th is the fact that you can worship freely without the government telling you how to worship, speak in a public square without being jailed, a press that's willing to hold the powerful to account.”

Clinton – “America is bigger than anybody's personal hopes and dreams. The country will survive by the freedom to speak, freedom to vote, freedom to be active in politics.”

Obama – “Remember what's best in us. The basic principle upon which this country was founded which is we don't have rulers, kings, monarchs, aristocracies-- we have citizens.”

Biden – “250th anniversary of the country reminds people that democracies depend on certain basic rules. Democracy is dictated by the rule of the Constitution.”

I feel like the photo of this Black women surrounded by dozens of masked, anonymous, white nationalists is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

If Trump wants to stop drug traffickers, why did he just pardon the guy convicted in one of the biggest narco cases in U.S. history?

“On Friday in Oslo, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Machado, who has been in hiding ever since last year’s fraudulent elections, is widely regarded as the force keeping the country’s opposition alive in the face of Nicolás Maduro’s increasingly authoritarian regime. Machado, the committee said, is a ‘brave and committed champion of peace,’ who ‘keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.’

Machado’s story is a political thriller come to life. A 58-year-old industrial engineer and former member of parliament, she spent two decades as the most relentless opponent of Hugo Chávez and his successor, Nicolás Maduro.

Once derided by the regime as la dama de hierro (the Iron Lady), she was banned from running in the presidential election. She then named a proxy and led a grassroots campaign that united the country’s shattered opposition, drawing millions of Venezuelans to the polls in July 2024 and winning a landslide victory.

But Maduro’s regime seized power anyway, and began accelerating its crackdown on dissent. Fourteen months later, Machado is in an undisclosed location and fears for her life. She still addresses her followers through encrypted video messages and clandestine radio transmissions, seeking to oust the undemocratic regime that has transformed Venezuela into a hub of international crime.

And now, she’s been elevated to the global stage. Following the Nobel announcement, Machado wrote on X: ‘This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.’ She continued: ‘[T]oday, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.’ ”—@JoJakubowicz

Trump said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries.

There is a name for this — ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.

This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American.

I wrote this cause it’s what I always wanted to say about Trump pretending to be a tough guy.  But we got the amazing @DaveBautista to say it SO much better.  Thanks Dave.  #TrumpIsAWeakLittleBabyBitch

Something mainstream media won’t report:

There was a Zoom tonight for Black women organizing for Kamala Harris.

The call had a max of 1000 people. They hit it immediately, and got a hold of the Zoom CEO to help.

40,000 people joined. For over 4 hours.

Trump is soooo screwed.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

I endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

The United Farm Workers is proud to endorse VP Kamala Harris for President. Dime con quien andas, y te digo quien eres.

Kamala Harris stood with farm workers as CA’s Attorney General, as US Senator, and as Vice President. There is work to be done, and we’re ready. Sí, se puede!

Best take I've seen so far in regards to Trump's assination attempt.

On 13 July, Israeli strikes hit an area in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, where thousands of displaced people were sheltering. MSF teams at Nasser hospital, including our staff in the maternity ward, supported the mass casualty response of over a hundred patients.
