It's hard to learn Black history and not become radical

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.

For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.

The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.

True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.

As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.

Happy Juneteenth, New York City.

Tennessee Brando obliterates absurd MAGA talking point about Democrats and the KKK: "If there wasn't a party switch, I want you to do me a favor. Find the biggest redneck you can with a big Confederate flag flying off his trailer. Walk up, knock on his door and ask him why he voted for Kamala Harris."

D.L. HUGHLEY: “I don’t understand why a 4/5 star athlete would go to a school where the state is ushering in a new iteration of Jim Crow… if you can’t run in a state, don’t run in a state.” #Memphis #Louisiana #Tennessee #Alabama @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

Not enough people are talking about that at Trump's directive, TN Republicans are starting a special session today to gerrymander the state's only Black majority district — Memphis — out of existence.

#TN09 was on track to elect @Justinjpearson in August

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

A recall petition for Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has officially been filed

[Gary Chambers @GaryChambersJr]

I’ve encouraged y’all to vote for years. So today I don’t give a damn about who feels shamed — because some of y’all need to be shamed.

One day into early voting. Democrats turned out 35,498 voters. Republicans 32,051. But 901,000 Black registered voters in Louisiana have not moved yet.

How bad does it have to get? They have to put the sign up on the plantation for you to take this shit serious?

Jefferson Parish — 68,500 Black voters sitting at home. Caddo — 70,000. Lafayette — 37,500. These are not small numbers. These are elections.

I don’t care that Democrats are outperforming Republicans. I care that Black people have the numbers to send a real message and too many are sitting on their asses.

Voting NO on all 5 of Jeff Landry’s amendments sends a message to a legislature that is coming for your representation right now.

Your life costs more. Your world is less safe. Your rights are being stripped daily. Now your representation is next. Y’all ready to listen?

Text 10 people. Tell them to go early vote.

If I can do this research and put it in your face — you can share it and go vote.

A federal judge just blocked Gov. Jeff Landry from stopping Calvin Duncan from taking office as Clerk of Criminal District Court.

At midnight, @calvin4clerk officially becomes Clerk.

Congratulations, Black man. The fight continues.

A kid asked Jalen Hurts:
"Are you a superhero?"

Jalen Hurts responded:
"I'm a black man in America, superheroes got nothing on me."

Powerful.

It's physically painful to watch society get less and less intelligent, more evil, weird, and devoid of empathy every single day.

[kevin blue @kevinblue345]

Did you know that @dixonmcmakin, who is pushing bills to eliminate the seat of @calvin4clerk, is the announcer for @lsu sports? Dixon is from Baton Rouge, but he’s working to take away the clerk’s office in New Orleans and, in turn, nullify the votes of thousands of Black people

[Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves]

I don’t typically make news on a Friday afternoon, but today I am going to make an exception:

I’m calling a special session.

During the recently completed regular session, the Legislature discussed drawing new maps to comply with a decision from a federal judge from the Northern District of Mississippi - a decision that has been appealed to the 5th Circuit and the appeal has been heretofore stayed pending future U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

The entire world knows the Callais decision has not yet been handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court. It is a decision that could (and in my view should) forever change the way we draw electoral maps.

It is my belief and federal law requires that the Mississippi Legislature be given the first opportunity to draw these maps. And the fact is, they haven’t had a fair opportunity to do that because of the pending Callais decision.

For those reasons, I am using my constitutional authority to allow the Mississippi Legislature to use their constitutionally recognized right to draw these maps once the new rules of the game are known following Callais.

It is my sincere hope that, in deciding Callais, the U.S. Supreme Court will reaffirm the animating principle that all Americans are created equal and that when the government classifies its citizens on the basis of race, even as a perceived remedy to right a wrong, it engages in the offensive and demeaning assumption that Americans of a particular race, because of their race, think alike and share the same interests and preferences – a concept that is odious to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine of equality.

The special session will take place on the calendar day that falls 21 days after the U.S. Supreme Court issues the Callais decision.
