Today is the first day since 2018 that medication abortion is locally available in Missouri after a judge permanently struck down a majority of the state’s abortion restrictions. This win is possible thanks to voters protecting reproductive freedom in the state’s constitution.

On Juneteenth, we remember that freedom was delayed because information was kept from people. That still matters. Baltimore needs reporters who show up, ask hard questions, and keep local truth in public view. Make a gift today. support.baltimorebeat.com/page/FUNMSPK... #Juneteenth #Baltimore

There’s a saying passed down from earlier generations of Black Texans who were there for the first Juneteenth: “It was not a piece of paper that freed the slaves, but the men with the guns.”

How did people hear of the end of slavery? The testimonies from five men and women from four different states recount how they heard and responded to the news of their freedom.

Wow what an idea, i wonder where they got it

You should do this even if you're not in publishing, as well

Lord, grant me the elation and energy of a cat encountering a fresh wire twist-tie for the first time

I'm not sure how i got on the text list for Frederick Country Republican voters but i think i found my way off

When the Sun nails it, they really do nail it

Actually badass

In 1999, Playboy spoke with Maya Angelou. The Playboy Interview never ran. The copy was misfiled and forgotten for 20 years. Now, as we bring this remarkable piece of history online, it serves as a bridge to a voice that remains as vital and urgent as ever.

Anyway if you like music and enjoy seeing bands cover the least coverable song by most bands i can't recommend enough that you get to Racers on Harford Rd around 2pm on Sunday for the Speakers of the House

If you're a person who enjoys music from a collection on shuffle and you do not have the Minutemen in said musical library, i just dunno

It is

Spend all the evenings you can with the people who raised you 'Cause all the times they will change, it'll all come around I don't know Maybe I'm just stoned at Peabody Heights

Nice treat to leave the ballpark to

The beer may not be cold, but a ball game remains a good time. Many thanks to @meldric.cc for sharing his rad seats today.

Ejections! Always a treat

So many home runs, so few of the kind we like

Hell of a day for a game.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Viewers also getting higher, it's Friday ainnit

In which city are outdoor workers in the most danger from heat? If you said Baltimore, you'd be wrong. Maryland has an #OSHA heat standard to protect workers. Texas has no standards (and the state prohibits locality from passing local ordinances protecting workers from heat -- as does Florida.)

Gee

Props to Ottobar for being ahead of this curve with the "wanna dance with somebody before 9pm" series

Cold! Ain't! Beer! The!

ABOLISH AND PROSECUTE ICE. THERE IS NO MOVING FORWARD WITHOUT TRIALS.

Masala oats quickly becoming goated in this household, so much so that I'm using the word 'goated' which is otherwise not really in my vocabulary
