On this Juneteenth, I’m thinking about the 250,000 slaves who didn’t know until 2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed that they were free.

As a federal holiday, it marks the end of the era of slavery and the dawn of the era of freedom and equality.

Introverts are just extroverts who’ve realized that most people suck.

Tropical Storm #Bret at sunset in the central Atlantic Ocean. Predicted to strengthen into a category 1 hurricane. #weather #WX

Rep. Swalwell posted this after watching an interview that was jaw-dropping. I can’t copy over the vid but suffice it to say, Swalwell tweet sums up 1 segment well:

“Well that’s that. #Trump just confessed to Fox…that he stole & shared classified materials.”

I saw a clip or 2 & “deranged” doesn’t even begin to describe #FlopsweatTrump’s word-slaw.

1 quote: “ Baier: Why not just hand them over? Trump: Bc I had boxes, I want to go through the boxes & get all my personal things” #ClusterFox

Totally disappointed in Rashida Jones on her decision to air a trump town hall on MSNBC.

Did you learn NOTHING after watching CNN ratings tank???

DISGUSTED!

Chronic sexual misconduct in Canada’s military is a national security threat

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has a serious problem when it comes to sexual violence.

According to a recent report, the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM), an elite branch of the CAF, has exposed a troubling culture of reticence and double standards when it comes to addressing misconduct.

Tropical Storm Bret forms in Atlantic, with possible hurricane threat to Caribbean islands apnews.com/article/3304245c225

Tropical Storm #Bret set the record for furthest east developed tropical storm south of 23.5°N this early in #hurricane season.

Impressive, but note that the period of record for that region is only about 50 years because of a lack of data away from land.

Today is #Juneteenth in the United States, a day to celebrate independence for all Americans and reflect on the fact that democracy is participatory and hard won, and to exclude any group from its benefits is to degrade it for everyone:

@AlliFlowers A musician friend once quipped "Vivaldi only wrote one piece of music, but it was gorgeous!"

I really dislike leaders who cannot make decisions and don’t know how to delegate.

If you think you were fed misinformation on Covid and vaccines, you are right. Follow the scientific literature, not the politicians. However, anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. are telling far bigger and more dangerous lies than the politicians--definitely do not listen to them.

@AlliFlowers God is a keen business deity, look at all the Tell it To God Through Me franchises he has sold. 😇

@GottaLaff @Teri_Kanefield

On the House Jan 6 Committee getting out ahead of DoJ, I thought it good strategy for the Committee to get everything out there with its investigation & public hearings in order to “condition” Americans to the prospect that a former president was behind the overthrow attempt & should be criminally charged. The media can write all the articles it wants, I still think this was an effective coordinated strategy.
