On the ninth anniversary of DACA, I’m thinking about all the brave DREAMers who have stepped forward to tell their stories. They have fueled a movement that is still working to guarantee the permanent protections they deserve. I will always be inspired by their fight. pic.twitter.com/YrVuuVTrrE

The Obama Diary 
Good West Coast morning dear Nerdy & TOD family. 🙋🏾♀️💖😎
And to you, Gail, first of her name to get here this morning!
💝
Imagine in all the time that has passed. This movement has inspired but has not become law. Change is hard but Obama did what was right in getting this underway and
protecting young people. Hopefully Pres Biden will be able to complete the journey by making DACA law.
AMENN
Yeah!
gqp will be the ones asking for papers soon. it’s always projection with the thugs.
Know your Right to Refuse to give them an Answer! Don’t let Fear overtake you. A solution to a problem gives YOU the power. Tell them to kick rocks!
I hope they kick them in their nads.
🤣🤣 Now, now amk. Be nice LOL!
Ok, shoot them in their nads, how is that?
SMH, tsk tsk
what? I was just being nice.
In the only way “amk style”. Any other way, we wouldn’t know who wrote it. LOL You are you and have always been you. ✊🏾👍🏾👏🏾😘
Good Morning! Look up, there are some dudes floating around in space.
We had the same thought 👍🏾😎

WOW!
Looking forward to seeing more women of color, but, this is a great beginning. 💃🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It would be great to add Val Demmings and Cheri Beaslley to the US Senate. I started a small monthly donation to their campaigns.

Yay for the Texas Dems! Yay for MVP!
On an Indivisible OR Zoom meeting with Senator Merkley’s staff, one of the volunteers who is a lawyer proposed that since there is strong evidence that the filibuster is unconstitutional, VP Harris in her position as the deciding vote in the Senate could declare it unconstitutional. It sounds too good to be true, but our VP has a keen legal mind and would know if this is feasible.
Caution…

All 1,400 crew onboard Odyssey of the Seas were vaccinated on June 4th and will be considered fully vaccinated on June 18. The positive cases were identified after the vaccination was given and before they were fully effective,” Bayley said.
The company pushed back the Odyssey’s inaugural sailing from July 3 to July 31. It was set to sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and make several stops in the Caribbean. A simulation cruise originally scheduled for late June will also be rescheduled.
“While disappointing, this is the right decision for the health and well-being of our crew and guests,” Bayley said.
Six of the eight crew members who tested positive did not display any symptoms, while two had mild symptoms. All eight were quarantined and are being closely monitored by the company’s medical team, Bayley said.
Tax cuts baby. Those yacht checks don’t write by themselves.
Those days are over, thug. No offense to thugs.
Benen. Long time no see. He played a critical role in lying mittbot’s defeat.
LIVE NOW…
Now THIS os journalism! 🔥🔥🔥
So…Putin still never answered the question.
Brava Rep Chu!
President Biden wanted a business meeting w/Putin to let him know directly where he stands on issues. In a few months we’ll see what happens – as will the world. Love his clarity, choices, and experience. Yessss!

Congrats Stephen Colbert, Jon Batiste, on your return to a live audience!
Thanks for all the laughs this year. Tried to imagine being a stand-up comic confined to a small room, ouch. Personal challenge…see if you can have a show without mentioning a guy’s unmentionables. Loved your interviews with Stacey Abrams, Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton (last year), Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci, Ethan Hawke, Arsenio Hall, Lovett-Favreau-Vietor, Robert Downey, Paul Bettany, Riz Ahmed, Dr. Fauci, Ringo Starr, Magic Johnson, Ronan Farrow, Brandy Carlisle, Samuel L. Jackson, Serena Williams.
—w/best wishes!!
Trump was clearly working with Putin…remember.
By subverting democracy, Manchin furthers Putin’s plans.

Q: Why would we not stop that train in AZ before it leaves the station?
SECRETARY DEB HAALAND
Ryan Zinke Flew His Own Special Banner.
Deb Haaland Flew A Pride Flag.
“The interior secretary is taking an inclusive approach — in notable contrast to her Trump-era predecessors.”
“Within weeks of being confirmed as former President Donald Trump’s first interior secretary,
Ryan Zinke revived an obscure military tradition, insisting that a security staffer raise and lower a special secretarial flag above the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., every time Zinke entered or exited the building.
Deb Haaland,
President Joe Biden’s Interior Secretary, has opted for a far more inclusive approach.
On Monday, Haaland went to the building’s roof to raise a Progress Pride Flag to mark LGBTQ Pride Month.
It is the first Pride flag ever to fly above the agency’s headquarters.”

Imho,
loyalty and family matter huge to me. So when my husband changed gender years ago,
our little family circled the wagons. Anyone who goes through it will understand.
Friends, neighbors, family members, drifted away. We were on our own for a lot of years. Still best friends with my former spouse, a prolific academic, teacher and researcher. Turns out one of our children is non-binary with a brilliance (and sweetness) that neither of us have encountered before. So something happened to them this weekend that knocked me sideways, and this time i do need time to recover. See yous down the road.
Take care of J and K,
love.
🕊🕯🙏🏼🕯🕊
Holy Smokes, can’t believe I retweeted Bill Kristol! What’s the world coming to?
Too bad they did not feel that way about Pres Obama…i know that i should let it go..but i just can’t
I feel you!
Wearing my mask until whenever.
Same with me. Tennessee no different than Georgia. Our particular county is better than the entire state. However, it isn’t over!!
Ha!
Get ’em!
😔🙏🏾🕊
According to DeKalb police records, this dude has had several run-ins and has been ordered a couple of time to attend Anger Management sessions. He should NOT have had access to or license for a gun.
Exactly!
Amen. When someone leaves a place of business angry for being asked to wear a mask, the business should go on high alert.
Happy heavenly Birthday Tupac 🎵🎶

A couple of months ago, I spent $40.00 and donated them to Essential Workers in Georgia. I was supporting my grand niece who’s a Girl Scout in Cummings, GA

NAACP SCHOLARSHIPS Deadline is June 18, 2021
Nurturing the next generation of activists and community leaders starts with an investment in their education. Each year the association offers need-based and merit scholarships as part of the NAACP – Scholars and Professionals: Internships, Ready Youth and Employment (N-SPIRE) program.
This year, 170 awards range from $3,000 to $15,000 thanks to the support of various donors, including Dark & Lovely, Vans, and SmileDirectClub. Through our N-Spire Scholarship Program, we have more than $800,000 available to help deserving high school seniors and college students fund the upcoming school year.
Have you, or the students you know, applied? The June 18 deadline is approaching quickly.
Yup. 6 months into power, the do nothing optics sucks.
it is interesting that he blames the Dems for inaction…the Dem controlled House IMPEACHED Trump…Twice…TWICE…and each time it was the Senate Repbulicans that refused to convict…The HOUSE voted for a 1/6 commission…The Senate Republicans filibustered the bill……but yeahhhh its the DEMs faut that there has been NO accountability…This Bothsiderism is as usual stinks like a skunk🦨..folks lack the courage to call it what it is…
Garland has nothing better to do than this garbage, I guess.
Yup.
Germany has recalled a platoon from a Nato mission in Lithuania after reports emerged of troops engaging in racist and anti-Semitic behaviour, as well as sexual assault.
The allegations were first published by Der Spiegel news magazine on Monday.
Announcing the decision on Twitter, German Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said the misconduct would be “punished with all severity”.
Four German soldiers were initially withdrawn as part of the investigation.
The troops were in Lithuania as part of Nato’s “enhanced forward presence”, a mission which trains local soldiers as a deterrent against Russian in a number of Eastern European countries.
“The misconduct of some soldiers in Lithuania is a slap in the face of everyone who works in the Bundeswehr [German army] day after day to serve the security of our country,” Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer tweeted on Wednesday.
She said the entire platoon would be withdrawn with “immediate effect”, and that any necessary investigations and proceedings would take place in Germany.
On Tuesday, the minister said that any soldiers who knew about the incidents but did not report them would also face punishment.

Good Morning and Happy Anniversary to President and Dr. Biden!

Happy marriage, happy smiles.

But…Voting???
I get crazy over how we are handed crumbs instead of a whole pie. Don’t try to distract me with a trinket when you’re restricting my right to VOTE.
Dammit !!!
Um, they’re still working on that. Lots of stuff is going on simultaneously. Meanwhile this is a good thing that activists have worked on for decades.

Help me understand this – the Senate will approve June 19th as Juneteenth National Holiday, but, the slaves still can’t VOTE in many States.

Still rather give us crumbs instead of equal rights as citizens.

Affordable Care Act survives third Supreme Court challenge, as case from Trump administration and GOP-led states is rejected
The key issue was whether a 2017 decision by Congress to remove the penalty for not buying health insurance — the so-called individual mandate — meant that the law was unconstitutional and should be wiped from the books.

Rafael Nadal, after ‘listening to my body,’ won’t play at Wimbledon, Olympic Games
Rafael Nadal said Thursday he will not play in this year’s Wimbledon or at the Olympic Games.
In a series of tweets, the 20-time Grand Slam champion wrote that he was “listening to my body” in order to “prolong my career and continue to do what makes me happy.”
