#USA250 #July4 #Freedom As many celebrate #America250 this week, what EXACTLY are they celebrating? “While I seriously doubt that I will ever live in an America where the REALITY of America meets the IDEAL, I still believe in the ideal” — @guynave2 medium.com/the-polis/is-amer…

Ossoff: On Wednesday of this last week he said the war was "Done." And then on Thursday another ship was struck. On Friday the president was bombing again. This is what happens when you send your son-in-law, Jared, to cosplay as a diplomat See, despite zero qualifications, Prince Jared was tapped to lead Middle East diplomacy

#Juneteenth #America250 “Emancipation is not the same thing as freedom” — Don't get it twisted, "While milestones are important, they don’t replace the goal." (This piece is well worth the read) @guynave2 medium.com/cultured-network/…

#Obama If you weren't among the few invited to Chicago for the opening of the #ObamaPresidentialCenter, you can honor and celebrate #Juneteenth, #FathersDay, and the opening of the center, with family, friends, and a curated playlist just for this weekend! medium.com/afrosapiophile/th…

What an AMAZING, beautiful speech by Michelle Obama, listing the challenges President Obama faced, and his incredible achievements. I can't prove it, but I know when she mentioned "winning a Nobel Peace Prize," Barack and Hillary had a good laugh at envious trump. I LOVE THIS SPEECH.🙏♥️🙏

I feel strongly about this: journalists have an ethical responsibility to call these election lies what they are. We just stop hiding behind the euphemistic “without proof.” Or democracy is fragile and under assault. Patrician journalistic niceties serve no one is a moment of crisis, not even journalism. We are called to reveal and convey truth. It starts with every interaction. It starts in the moment. It starts to their faces. It feels good to be free to do what I think is right.

How many Americans are going to say years from now, "We didn't know..." You KNOW, so what are you going to do?
The DNC needs to apologize for not allowing the Tennessee 3 to speak at the DNC in 2024. Your actions have led to the fascist new confederacy to be reborn. All black democrats and women have been kicked off their committee assignments in Tennessee.

This response reveals EVERYTHING a civil human needs to know. While he engages in libel, I said NOTHING negative. Facts are clear. Confederates engaged in sedition and treason and supported SLAVERY. WHY do tolerate ANYONE honoring the Confederacy? change.org/p/stop-confederat…
This is the buffoon trying to stop the Confederate Railroad concert at the Winneshiek County Fair in Iowa because he's "offended." @guynave2 proves once more why college is for idiots as he sends a message that those with degrees from Luther probably have high student loan debts and few marketable skills. Typical leftist who gets pleasure out of making other people miserable. Why subsidies for "higher" ed need to end. Thank you President Trump for getting that ball rolling. kcrg.com/2026/04/21/confeder…

Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different. Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people. For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits. He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide. No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents. His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.

If #TrumpsWar with #Irán is "holy," it's not because #Trump was anointed by Jesus to bomb Iran in order to initiate #Armageddon. It's because he killed #Khamenei during #Ramadan, the holy month of Islam. medium.com/the-polis/bombing…

If America wants to claim to be a Christian nation, then let’s look at what Jesus Christ actually stood for.
BREAKING: Pope Leo SLAMS Trump’s Oval Office evangelical pro-war powwow! – "War is not holy; only peace is holy!" Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, issued a powerful condemnation from the Vatican today, directly rebuking the Christian Zionist leaders who gathered in the Oval Office to lay hands on Donald Trump and "bless" his unauthorized war against Iran. In a moving appeal, the Chicago-born pope declared: "War is not holy; only peace is holy because it is willed by God." He repeated the phrase several times for emphasis, calling the conflict an "immoral" assault that has already claimed American lives, Iranian civilians (including schoolgirls), and risks drawing the region – and the world – into wider catastrophe. "If the world is deaf to this appeal, we are certain that God will hear our prayer and the lament of so much suffering," the pope said. He urged religious leaders worldwide to echo the people's cry for peace, giving voice to the voiceless poor, the displaced, and the earth itself ravaged by destruction. "We must dare peace," he insisted. "Enough of wars with their painful piles of death, their destruction and displacement." The pontiff framed the moment as a moral crisis: governments must heed the cry of the suffering, not the zealots who sanctify violence. The response comes as Christian Zionist figures – many tied to the same evangelical networks boosting Trump's "end-times" rhetoric – publicly prayed over the president in the Oval Office, framing the bombardment as divine will and biblical prophecy. The pope's words cut through that narrative with clarity: no war is holy, no matter how it's dressed in scripture. His Chicago roots and consistent opposition to Trump's policies add extra moral weight to the rebuke, underscoring growing international alarm over the lack of congressional authorization, the human cost, and the reckless escalation without an endgame. While Trump shrugs off more dead troops as "the way it is" and his energy czar admits the war is a long-term oil grab, the leader of the Catholic Church calls for de-escalation and dares the world to choose peace over bloodshed. When even the pope denounces the war as immoral and the blessings as misguided, the moral bankruptcy of MAGA warmongering is laid bare. Like and share if you agree.

Let’s be real people!!
A former Fox News host, who paid to settle a sexual assault case, is Secretary of the Department of Defense. The former head of World Wrestling Entertainment, who is accused of covering up the sexual abuse of minors, is over the Department of Education. A heroin addict accused of sexual assault by the family babysitter, is over the Department of Health & Human Services. A cattle rancher with a two year community college degree has been nominated as secretary of Homeland Security. A convicted felon and adjudicated rapist is president of the yet-to-be United States. Y’all need to shut up about Black people being ‘DEI hires.’
