Trump’s bragging about how he’s running Venezuela now. Meanwhile, the actual government is attacking its people again—arresting journalists and civilians, unleashing armed gangs across the capital, and breaking up rallies calling for Maduro’s removal. Is all of this happening with Trump’s approval?

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

WATCH: “They say tens of millions came in under Biden… but the actual truth is there were fewer undocumented immigrants in 2022 than there were in 2018.” COACH SULLY on the “invasion” lie Fox & @MarshaBlackburn & @RepOgles tell, and the alternate reality they create.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

It is Passover, and I keep considering the comparisons between Trump and Pharaoh. Under Pharaoh, the Israelites went from seeking refuge to enduring the horrors of enslavement. Similarly, Trump’s treatment of migrants shifts from offering refuge to treating them as an enemy of the state.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

WATCH: Rep. Justin Jones speaks out for Abrego Garcia (father of a disabled child, no criminal record, married to a 🇺🇸 citizen) and others “disappeared” by Trump’s “racist” ICE without due process.
