We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.

Thank you, Bill! ✊🏾

Stay awake

This guy is fantastic. Take a listen.

Thou shalt not let people be murdered at home for their political beliefs and just “move on.”

Thou shalt not let children be murdered at school for trying to learn and just “move on.”

Thou shalt never stop fighting to make these horrors end.

John Roberts: "I Never Thought the Leopards Would Eat *My* Judiciary" The chief justice who handed an oligarch a crown is once again surprised by the consequences of his own actions

NEW: John Roberts is oblivious. Again. My latest. www.muellershewrote.com/p/john-rober...

Stephen Miller is a traitor to the United States and needs to be treated as such

Thou shalt not sell off 253 million acres of beautiful land just so it can become more Walmart and McDonald’s parking lots.

Kamala Harris, Recalling “Devastating” Day of Dobbs Decision, Urges Women to “Keep Fighting” The former vice president made a surprise visit to a conference of abortion storytellers, whose “voices,” she tells Vanity Fair, “are vital to our nation in the ongoing fight for reproductive freedom....

“One woman in a Planned Parenthood shirt turned to the person next to her and said, 'If it’s Kamala, I’m going to cry.' Seconds later, vice president Kamala Harris appeared on screen. 'Hey everyone!' she said, smiling at the roaring applause from the room.”

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking.

I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along.

Really scary stuff.

The Supreme Court approved this today.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers.

Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street.

They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

Make it stop!!!

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

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.

A 7-year-old lioness reunites with the man who raised her after she was abandoned as a cub 🦁❤️ He slept beside her outside so she'd grow up as naturally as possible. Now she tackles him with love-hugs, face rubs, pure joy-until they collapse in a pile of trust. 🫶 #WildBond #HeartmeltingNature

“Ask your Supreme Court Justice which medical procedure is right for you.”

Call me cautious, but I’m not optimistic about a war run by a reality TV show Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense.

I'm prepping for tomorrow. Here's one for y'all to use any way you like.

This is hilarious.
