I have recently discovered Coming to the Table, a national organization devoted to practice of racial reconciliation and pursuit of slavery reparations ( comingtothetable.org ).. I'm looking forward to attending their virtual annual conference June 24-27. Have a joyous Juneteenth.

"Rise to the challenge!" should be the rallying cry for all who see that voting rights are the bedrock of democracy. Rise, indeed. For a long time I had some reservations about eliminating the filibuster (it was certainly valuable to the cause of decency and civilization during the T____p years), but we need to eliminate it and stand the gaff for doing so. As for the Supreme Court, you have finally convinced me that it needs to be expanded, by four justices.

Have a great weekend!

It is good that the Juneteenth holiday was passed in a bipartisan way, but let’s be real it was passed by conservatives because it is an easy win or the low hanging fruit. This way they can continue their other racist efforts like voting rights and abolishing teaching the history of slavery.
