On this July 4th, remember the words of Dashiell Hammett, who was jailed by HUAC for not naming names.
"I don’t let cops or judges tell me what I think democracy is."

Lots of dads are alive to celebrate Father's Day today because of American hero Dr. Fauci. Listening to the science pays off. Taking horse deworming pills does not. Thank you, sir.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.

But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops.

These are sick, corrupt people.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better.

An appreciation post for Floyd Mayweather, one of the greatest boxers of all time, who donated $1,000,000 to Israel's volunteer ambulance service and $100,000 for bulletproof vests.

Floyd has proudly stood with Israel for years.

This man is an absolute treasure! 🇺🇸 🇮🇱

🚨To every Black person tempted by the antisemitic wave sweeping right now:🚨

Back when white mobs lynched us in the streets...
When we had no money, no power, and literally no movement...

Who stood with us? Who risked everything?

The Jews.

They weren't just allies—they were family in the fight.
- Jewish leaders co-founded the NAACP in 1909 and funded/led it for generations when no one else would.
- When Dr. King and our people were arrested, beaten, jailed—Jewish lawyers defended us for free, and Jewish money paid bail bonds and court fees while others turned away.
- In Freedom Summer '64, half the white volunteers risking death to register Black voters? Jewish.
- Rabbi Heschel marched arm-in-arm with MLK in Selma—our struggles linked forever.

Without their blood, treasure, solidarity, and courage—there is no Civil Rights Movement as we know it. No Voting Rights Act. No dream realized.

That's why I stand with the Jews.
They were our only true friends when this country hated us—when doors slammed shut and ropes hung high. They showed up, bled, and built with us.

So to my people joining this demonic, divisive hate today:

Pause. Remember. Honor the alliance that freed us.

Our histories are bound. Our freedoms were won together.

Betray that, and you betray the very martyrs who died for our rights.

Black-Jewish unity forged the dream. Don't let hate destroy it.

I stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters—always. ✊🏾🤝✡️🇮🇱

Repost if truth > trends. If gratitude > division. If history matters.

Utah reviewed 2 MILLION voter registrations.

Found 1 non-citizen registered. Zero non-citizen votes cast.

The "problem" the SAVE Act is solving doesn't exist.

The voters it would block absolutely do. #SAVEActIsPayToVote

I don’t know what Palestine cheerleader needs to hear this, but raping an Israeli civilian for over 400 days straight is not resistance.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sold his 4 championship rings, 3 MVP trophies, and other memorabilia for $2.8 million, donating every penny to youth education programs.

His reasoning:

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

A 26-year-old student sent a message to his teacher to explain that he will be absent from the class because he has not found anyone to take care of his five-month-old daughter...

Nathan Alexander, 34, a math professor at Morehouse College (Atlanta) responded to his student by saying:

"If that's the problem, take her to class."

Upon arriving in the classroom, the teacher offered to take the child so that his student could devote himself entirely to the course.

The teacher held the child throughout the lesson and even after, when he answered the students questions.

This photo is of the teacher who not only teaches math but also exemplifies compassion, kindness and generosity towards others.

Masked thugs on streets.
Measles outbreaks across the nation.
Blatant government corruption.
Coverup of elite sex offenders.
Ruling party trying to rig elections.
Leader building grandiose monuments to himself.
Destruction of nonpartisan civil service.

Iran’s Butchers. They’re mass murdering their own people to save the Khamenei terrorist regime and it will not end without America’s help.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

It is difficult to describe what kind of morally depraved, malignantly narcissistic mindset you have to have to only ‘feel bad’ for dead people based on whether their parents voted for you.

He may be the worst person to ever feature in American public life.

absent from JD Vance's Holocaust Remembrance Day post: any mention of Jews

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Maybe the point should be, if you break the law we will prosecute you.

If you didn’t break the law, then we won’t make up a bullshit excuse to prosecute you because we aren’t a Banana Republic.

To me, that would be a win win for everybody.
