Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day. 💚 The places we love and fight to protect are Indigenous homelands long before they became national parks. Those connections are still very much alive.

They say books won’t change the world. Tell that to every colonizer who burned them. To every enslaved person who was punished for reading. Literacy is resistance. Literacy is liberation. The library is a battlefield.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Black text on white page that reads as follows:

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.

Here’s what the Dem party machinery fails to grasp: That asshole has proved that MASSIVE systemic & institutional change IS possible. He may be doing bad & illegal things, but he is proving that with enough political will behind something, we can do ANYTHING! So we are NO LONGER listening to

Any left-leaning by front-line journalists is outweighed by owners and top execs of news outlets who lean right. You see this in their investment in business news vs. coverage of the environment and poverty, and in many other ways. It adds up to an over-all media picture that is NOT LIBERAL. 7/10 🧵

Only 19% of Dems approve of the party at this point. That’s not because we have all of a sudden changed our mind on Dem principles or policies. It’s because we are so damned scared and so damned disappointed in a leadership team that simply does not appear up to be meeting the moment.

Logging won’t stop wildfires, it’s making them worse. Clearcuts + plantations are more flammable. Old-growth resists fire. Cultural burning reduces risk. Real fire solutions come from Indigenous knowledge, not industry spin. #oldgrowth #bcpoli

I feel physically sick. I cannot believe we are going to live through this horror again. Those of you too young to remember the Iraq war have no idea how precisely the political establishment and legacy media are following the sane sickening playbook of lies that led to that global disaster again.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone 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. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

Part of the problem here is that for the last at least ten years we have allowed the right to assert that those who enter the U.S. illegally or overstay a visa have engaged in a CRIME! They have NOT! They have engaged in a civil violation. We do NOT send people to prison for civil violations.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.
