This Juneteenth, we should remind ourselves of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. It’s as simple as that.

Poor and working men are meant to have women of their class to abuse and dominate as compensation for the exploitations and humiliations of capital. When you point out that allowing this is a violation of class solidarity working class women, you’re accused of siding with management’s interests.

Crisis pregnancy centers—which primarily exist to confuse, mislead, and delay abortion seekers—are increasingly advertising medical services. But these services are often of poor or dubious quality to say the least.

A Georgia anti-abortion organization is building a maternity home. Public opposition surfaced allegations of false advertising and medical licensing issues—and resulted in cease and desist letters.

The giddiness with which Republicans are vowing that black people will have no representation in Congress is something to behold. Tennessee is a 60-40 state, gerrymandered 8-1 GOP. Legislature is 80 percent GOP. Now they want MAGA-fy the state's last Dem. district, in 63 percent black Memphis.

The Roberts Court majority may be pretending they don't know the Voting Rights Act is what ended Jim Crow and their decision to gut it is license to take us back ("again") to stealing power from Black voters, but Americans do:
60% of voters believe that it's likely that if Supreme Court strikes down the Voting Rights Act, (Callais decision), "politicians redraw districts strictly to protect their own political party, at the direct expense of minority voters."

If mainstream journalists did their basic duty – warning us about threats to our well-being – they’d loudly warn us that a deranged criminal is trying to overthrow our democracy. It’s the biggest story of their lifetimes, and they’re either afraid to cover it properly or they’re complicit in it.

I do not want my taxes used this way. People deserve services and programs for their tax dollars. Not this. I live in a red state, where 30%-40% of our “balanced” budget each years is from federal allocations. I know blue states are paying attention. Who will be the first to withhold their revenue?

Between the conversion therapy ruling and the efforts to ban kids from the internet to “protect them” from “transgender influence,” we’re right back in a culture of violently enforced closeting. And the data around self-identifying as trans and queer already reflects this

It’s the biggest story. Dems forced Republicans to the table with a common sense solution. Fund TSA, FEMA, & the Coast Guard, then negotiate over ICE reforms. Trump said “no.” No deals with Democrats. Just like with the immigration bill in 2024. A disabled GOP in Congress is in Trump’s interest.

Whenever you ask a government official or a politician something and they say they don’t know or haven’t heard, the VERY NEXT QUESTION should be, “Well, now that you know about it, what are you going to do about it?” Follow up! Dig deeper! Push back! Don’t let them dodge!

The SAVE Act is using patriarchal, racist systems to once again make the default voter a white man. It is not good or well-meaning. It is not about protecting the integrity of elections. It’s a reset, a clawback. 1/x

Not only the best but the only way to support our troops is to vocally oppose a war of choice in Iran that's intended to protect Israel and the Epstein class, that wasn't necessary to protect America's national security, and that's purely designed to enrich Trump and his friends.
