On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

BREAKING: Texas passed a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

We will be suing.

Why is the Colorado River running dry? It's not just drought. It's putting sacred cows above farmers, cities, and a secure future.

So we should admit and accept, up front, that the Colorado never was and never will be a mighty river system, and that it is climate-Β­challenged and prone to drought. We never should have asked it for so much. We invaded it like cancer, turning water into property. I wish it wasn’t so. (From 2023)

Ah! At first I thought you were looking for a β€œphilosophy coordinator” and I thought to myself, I could do that! Ya know, how to juggle competing values, how to prioritize justice without causing pain to the most vulnerable? But it’s philanthropy coordinator πŸ˜‚

T-shirts, new city flags take spotlight as Utah's ban on 'non-official' flags takes effect Hours after a law banning "non-official" flags from being displayed in classrooms and government properties went into effect, Salt Lake City's new "official" city flags were flying.

Meanwhile, @projectrainbowutah.bsky.social has started selling T-shirts trolling the new law (and also poking fun at Utah liquor laws): www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah #LGBTQ

Early this morning, I opened bill files to:
- Repeal HB 77 (2025 - the 'flag bill')
- Repeal the unconstitutional Utah Fits All voucher program (while preserving attached teacher pay increase)
- Put public sector collective bargaining rights in the constitution

Harvard rejected policy changes demanded by Trump β€” becoming the first university to directly refuse to comply with the regime’s demands.

Other universities should take note.

Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s tyranny invites more of it.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prisonβ€”accused of no crime, with no trialβ€”they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Dems ask Trump admin to explain Khalil’s arrest, calling it β€˜playbook of authoritarians’ More than 100 House Democrats sent the letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

We're grateful to @jayapal.house.gov, @raskin.house.gov, @scanlon.house.gov, and the 100+ other Reps who signed this letter for speaking out with moral clarity about the outrageous arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
