Mark Hortman was a selfless husband and a dedicated father. He always put his family above himself and everyone who knew him knew that he was Melissa’s rock.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Marriott still has my business.

Amen. 🇺🇸

It all makes sense once you realize a recession is actually a good thing for the 1%.

FINALLY!! The dems stood with Rep Al Green and we love to see it. More of this!!!

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers.

Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

Democrats in Congress—we asked for fight and you come up with childish signs. You all should have walked out in solidarity with Al Green and the American people tonight.

This is not the business!

Man stands up to oligarchs

This was the moment.

Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.

This is it, right here. 🔥

“I’m always curious what exactly conservatives mean when they say they love America because you hate most of the people who live here.”

Every dem in that room should have rallied around Rep Al Green.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Yes ma’am! 🙌🏻
