@abdulsays02 Racism is insidious, though so is his “all about me” approach to zero grace, or words of inspiration. He inspires no one on a day that should be celebrating freedom day when historically everyone was finally free in the US. I like my day off to honor freedom.

President Trump took to his social media platform on Thursday to say that there are "too many non-working holidays in America."
His comments come on Juneteenth, the federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S.
#tnleg is crowing about reducing the size of Nashville's city council as an act of shrinking govt. Ironic that the 1963 decision that formed the 40-seat council was in response to consolidate govt services. Reducing council rolls us backwards. An attack on local freedoms.
So much of the dysfunction in our politics can be traced back to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Citizens United 15 years ago. And this chart is case in point. Any one individual flooding tens or hundreds of millions of dollars into our elections drowns out the voices of Middle Class Americans, and pollutes the people's trust in elected officials and their government.
We must overturn Citizens United, and reform the campaign finance system. Period.
Dearly inebriated...

They took civics out of the curriculum & stopped teaching kids how to navigate govt systems, how laws are passed, how courts operate, how public funds are allocated. Because if you don’t understand power, you can’t question it. And if you can’t question it, you can’t fight it.
There it is. Trump would have been convicted of "conspiracy to defraud the United States" and "conspiracy to deprive citizens of voting rights" if he had not been elected to be president.
The U.S. is in totally uncharted territory.
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
@VoteGloriaJ It all feels like a set up to fill prisons. I wish some billionaire would set up camps for these kids BEFORE they could fall into homelessness and addiction. Places where they can have continued support, live safely and transition out with opportunities.
