A friendly reminder to come to a complete stop: FYI, the SFPD frequently has an officer in wait these days to issue rolling stop violations in the quieter sections of the Portola District, vicinity of Cambridge and Sweeny. Lots of unenforced speeding/tailgating on the freeway though!

Absolutely heartbreaking letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after his murder by ICE agents. How is it possible that we still haven’t seen even a hint of justice for such a heinous crime?

I’m not a big sport and didn’t follow World Cup much at all, yet there’s a screen at the entry to the locker room at my gym and I paused when leaving today at the right moment to see Spain score that one goal. Gotta admit that was kinda poetic.

Is there any doubt that the Trump regime would show us photos or videos of "vandals" attacking the reflecting pool if they had them? And is there any doubt that such a location would have cameras? There's one logical explanation: The regime is defending a stupid lie to soothe the dictator's ego.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

Mike Johnson saying Dems will steal elections is pretty rich. This from the guy doing the bidding of a consummate and criminal sore loser who told us if he got elected we wouldn’t need elections anymore. Is he an aspiring slave holder? Maybe that’s why he’s abetting it all. Or just broken who knows?

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.

Yeah I agree with this. Once I was w a friend in Germany who had a health event requiring an ER/overnight at a small regional hospital. An admin met with me to ask about insurance. We figured we at least had credit cards for immediate costs. Later the bill for all that? $650. How it ought to be.

Americans have a constitutional right to speak out against injustice and the inhumane cruelty we are seeing under this Administration. That is NOT a crime. This is what abuse of power looks like.  We will not stay silent while this administration tries to silence the voices of the American people.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool


is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar


is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.
